opening underdoor light assembly

Am I the only moron who can't figure out how to open the underdoor light assembly once they are easily removed from the vehicle. I squeezed pushed pried and pulled, and ultimately cracked the palstic. Haven't seen a single DIY address this pain in the @$$ piece of this process. How do you easily get to the bulb??

thanks!

As stated in a previous post, it is best to start with the trunk so you can see what you are working with clearly and also, the lamp housing does not come out like the doors and underdash do.
I have added a few pics with details to help out, as it sounds like many are apprehensive to do this upgrade for fear of dsconnecting their harness from the door lamp and having to remove the door panels. Check out the pics below and the notes and you will have no problems.
I was doing fine until the glove box. The lens doesn't come off, the light fixture came out and unplugged from the connector. I see no way to reinstall the glove box light fixture that will allow me to attach the electric connector due to the short wiring.
Additionally, I can't seem to pop the trunk light lens or fixture out. I am afraid I will break it.
Can anyone help?
