I am trying to remove the third brake light to replace the bulbs. I removed the two screws and tried to gently pry the lense off, no luck. The last time I tried to forcefully remove a lense, I had to glue it back together when I found out that wasn't the way it came off.
The Helm service manual says to remove the interior dome lamp to get to two screws holding the "High Mount Stop Lamp". This may be correct for the regular cab or extended cab. The crew cab does not have a dome light opposite of the third brake light.
Do I need to pry harder or do I need to remove the headliner to get to where the dome light would have been?

It's held on by the two screws you mentioned but can stick to the rubber seal. Try a little heat around the edges using a hair drier.

Yeah, mine was stuck pretty good first time I needed to replace a bulb too. You are going at it the right way. Just try gently prying around all the edges till it gives up it's grip on the rubber gasket underneath.
