Ive done a search and found a truck with a similar problem, and the solution was to pull harder... want to double check before i go and brake my lense.

I have a 1992 4runner and both license plate lights are burned out. I bought new bulbs and went to take the 2 screws out of the assembly, and it feels as though it is stuck in the center of the housing. Is there anything other then the 2 screws? i imagine there is a clip and i need to pull, but i dont know if i pull away from the car or in towards the license plate.

how to i take this off without braking anything? lol..

thanks.

Were you not able to make out the diagrams in your service manual? I might have one here I can link you to

just in case anyone runs across the same problem in their 2nd gen 4runner, I thought i'd let you know that i just chanced it and pulled...
and it worked.
there are 2 metal pins that lock in on the opposite side of the screw location holding on the other side...

basically pull the backup lights directly away from the vehicle (back) and they will pop out. it felt to me as though i was about to break something but it finally popped off and nothing was broken... heh


thanks
