Tail lamp bezel removal?

Well I have new ones on the way so last night I thought I'd remove the old tail lamp bezels. Man what a pain! Is there a trick to this? I couldn't unhook the trim from the bezel clip, so I ended up ripping and tearing the old bezels apart getting them off. And once off, the little clips are even harder to get out of their holes.

Just wondering what the trick is to these, they are different from the side trim clips. Almost seems like the only way to get them off is to do what I did, and destroy 'em.

A very thin screw driver...squeeze in the little tabs, one at a time and wiggle them out of the body.

They have a couple screws. The rest are push in clips. If you have to trash the old ones they are only about $10.00 ea for new ones. Mine came off with some prying, but it didnt matter at the time because it was headed for new paint.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
