having issues with rear map lights

Hey guys,

I bought an E-Bay LED light kit for 2011 x5. I got all of the interior lights in except the rear map lights. My X5 has the sunroof and no dome light in the center. Instead it has the two rear map lights (two lights on each side - one for the map, one for entry) that are located on each side just above the door by the handle.

For some reason, I'm having a bitch of a time popping those light out so I can switch out the bulbs. I located the notch at the rear of the light (where it looks like a screw driver pops in) and tried pushing up to pry a clip loose. However the damn thing won't pop out. I even tried using a little bit of muscle to get the whole assembly out but I fear that if I bend it any more I'm going to break something.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and can anyone provide a solution?

I've tried searching Youtube for a video and have started searching the forums but haven't found anything yet. Any help someone can provide would be great.
