If its the same set up as the WJ the whole thing is held in place by those ball-in clip thingies.

Balls on the light and clips in the bodywork.  Pull ever so slightly with constant pressure because if
you give it a yank you're likely to pull the plastic clips out of the body.  When they crack it is a royal PITA.

Put some grease or vaseline on when you re-fit.

Getting theside lights out are a big enough PITA...greasing seems a good idea...

Second the above, its not nice applying that much pressure to the lights but its the only way.
