Well, I made a led light bar for the third brake light on my s14, so today I decided to put it in. I open the trunk, remove the 2 nuts, unplug the wires, and start pulling. The thing won't budge. Is the third brake light glued in or something? How do I get it out without breaking it, or messing up my trunk? Help asap cuz I would like to get this thing in tomorrow. Thanks.

when I took the light off my s14 it was held in by some really thick adhesive foam junk. took a heatgun to it lightly and pulled it out.

Pry in, then cut the foam with a razor.
