Angry How Do you remove the Damn Head Light????

I took off the three bolts and it still feels like its stuck on something and I can figure out where it is. Im going to end up breaking it if I keep trying what I was. Someone PLEASE tell me what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to get it out. I just want to swap out a turn signal..

All you have to do is pull hard on it STRAIGHT OUT. Make sure you pull it straight out from the truck. It's got a little hole that it pops into so that if the screws were to come out the light wouldn't just hit the pavement.

Got it out replaced the bulb and back in. It was getting stuck in a few places on the sheet metal above the light and on the bumper. Had one casulty though one of the plastic straight tabs or guides on the top right corner snapped off. Everything is tight though so oh well. Thanks for the help guys.
