    I have the 2 torx screws removed and lens removed, but the chrome housing is not coming off. I don't want to pull hard as I am afraid breaking something. Is it glued on with sealer or is it fastened from inside? Thx

    It's a stick on gasket. No other screws on the inside. Use a plastic pry tool (NOT A SCREWDRIVER ) and it will pop off, no worries.

    I have pix if you need them.

    Edit : Here are the pix. ..

    This and it will leave a goo mess behind in most cases. When you reinstall it make sure you seal it back on or it will leak and ruin your head liner.
