well to remove the cover, take a small flat head and pry the cover off, from the back side, closest to the window, and im pretty sure there is a screw when you take the cover off

Thanks. You are referring to the cover correct not the individual light?
Is it a clip or how do i unattach it?

just the cover, no clip it is just popped in, but use a tiny flathead and be careful not to dent the side of the cover.

I didnt know if it does.
I have tried a couple times and it seems like its pretty tight in there, i dont know if theres a special way to remove it. Is it supposed to be hard to get off?
