Icon2 03 Civic Si Hatchback EP3 Tail Light Removal?

Hi, I'm replacing a broken taillight on my silver 03 Civic Si Hatchback EP3 and cant figure out where the last bolt is. It looked like it was easy and all I had to do was remove the 3 bolts holding it in, but it doesn't move (only a little) and it feels like there is another screw in the bottom of it. Is there another screw? Do I have to remove the bumper? Does it have tabs? I see tabs, but it seems like there is another screw. Anyone else install aftermarket taillights to their civic EP3 hatchback? Any help is appreicated.... Thought it was easy but....

yeah you have to remove the bumper. there are 2 nuts underneath each light that need to be removed and it will pop right out.

There's a clip on the underside in the middle of the bumper, you'll have to get under the car to see it. Just pop it off with a flat head screwdriver and you should be golden.
