  remove seat and seat tub,  there is 1 screw on each side to take out,  and the back end , 4 nuts that hold the rear lights ,. to get to those remove the rear plate under the lights push out from inside with a long screw driver,. an the top plate behind the seat,.to get at the two nuts there then I use a putty knife to pop the clips off,.  three on both sides,  both sides and the rear light come off in one piece,. it was easyer than the front ,when you slide the section back remove the lights fron the sockets

  did you have the clips poped out, and then pry the top of the tail lite tabs off ,.  it should slide off easy,.
