Removing taillight

[Scotto58]

I have a 2000 Ram 1500 Sport. The truck has tinted headlights and taillights (aftermarket?). I need to remove 1 of the taillights so I can connect some auxiliary backup lights. How do I get to the mounting screws for the lights? Does the black trim around the lights just pop off? Don't want to break anything.
Thanks for any help/insight you can provide.

Don't know 100% for sure but every truck I've ever seen of that era, you open the tailgate and there will be 2 screws that go through the bed into the side of the tail light housing.

That's where they were on my 2001.

Thanks guys. I'll check that out come daylight if it's not raining too hard or snowing.

Keep in mind there are usually a few 'snap ins' as well, so don't be surprised if it needs a brisk tug to come out, after the screws are out
