Default Tail light Housing Removal

I've been trying to get out the passenger side tail light housing to change the bulbs. I managed to remove the 4 screw tabs directly ahead of the housing and I can feel it loosened, but when I try pulling it, it feels like there's still something lodging it in place, so I thought I'd check with you guys first. Apart from the 4 screw tabs, is there any other threaded fastener I have to remove, or is there some trick in the way you maneuver it out?

Any tip is much appreciated.

It should be 4 great big plastic wing nuts.. then it just pulls out. Maybe a thread is catching?

there are 5 wingnuts......four towards the middle of the light..sounds like the ones you've found and 1 more near the fender and spare tire. You may have to loosen off the plastic panel with the speaker in it to get to it.
