Default How to seperate third brake light?

Like alot of others my center mount third brake light has crapped out on my 04 CTS-V. I already ordered the LED strip to fix it myself. Does anyone have any tips on how to seperate the housing so I hopefully don't destroy the lens or the housing? Not sure if I should heat it up a bit and pry or just go for it. ANy suggestions.

Thanks

Thanks for the link but it didn't have what I needed. Only what LED bulbs to use to replace your standard bulbs. Anyone else??
