hey docmike, i had got my '02 lights open from a bodyshop, and they used a special kind of solvent or something like that to open and it worked but they still left pry marks from the screwdriver and it looks horrible so be careful not to break anything. As for the solvent or liquid, i am not sure and the bodyshop dude wont tell me as if its a secret or somethin (well i guess it is) just asshos. So my point is, try a solvent that is for weaking glue sealants and it might be easier, but i doubt it will be easy, GOOD LUCK.
