Anyone remove Yukon 3rd brake light?

Went to swap my stock CHMSL for LED version today - turned out not to be as obvious as I thought. The light itself seems to be fastened to a plastic housing that sits on the rear glass that has to be removed to get at the studs. Flipping up the back glass, there are two studs that come down through the hinges. Removing the nuts seemed to loosen the housing a bit but nothing more. There are also three large-diameter head fasteners with Torx sockets that come through the glass. These didn't respond to sensible amounts of torque so I figured I'd better ask for help before I strip or break something. Anyone been there?

Did mine bout 2.5 years ago, had the same problem looked simple, but the torx screws are what's holding the light housing if I remember correctly, gotta remove them, I had to have help removing and installing can't remember why right off the bat...good luck.

Thanks all; I was pretty sure that was the answer but why risk breaking something expensive when we have the forum?
