98 Explorer Taillight

I just found out that I have a burnt out brake light and just tried to
change and was unsuccesful. There are 2 big screws on the top side of
the light but it seems that there are 2 more that I can not get to. Am
I missing something? Any advice would be appreciated.

No, not missing anything. Remove the two screws on top and pull out
(firmly) assembly. You should feel friction due to the design, but
there are not anymore screws...

Good luck,

Yes, just as Steven says. The unit will make a horrible, expensive sounding
noise as it comes away from the body. Don't worry, it's just the springy
retaining clips making the noise.

Thanks for your help. It was a horrible sound but it came right
out..........
