I agree with dave in that you must pry from the back with a small
screwwdriver. I wouldn't worry too much about breaking them however.
If you do the only thing that breaks is the retaining clip on the back.
To put the light back in just use a little silicone around the edge and
it stays in fine. I did this and it looks normal and is very secure.
good luck,
