Default 02 accord coupe se center tail light removal

Hey I bought some aftermarket tail lights for my accord and have the left and right tail lights installed. But I can't figure out how to remove the center light. Please help!

Looks like you have to push it a bit to release the clips......see if this pic helps. I didn't see a difference in the coupe vs sedan ?

Looks like you would remove the screws for the 2 cover lids first (1 screw on each cover) and slide the covers off. Disconnect the bulb harness connectors. Then loosen/remove the nuts holding the center taillight from the trunk lid.

You might have better instructions for the center tail light removal than what I posted, to also show the nuts for removal. Looks like the lock cylinder is right near there too.
