I thought all lights you removed the bulbs from the back?

All the Wipac LED fittings I've seen are IP67 sealed so no bueno if you're trying to open them.

The OP is talking about LED's and not Incabdescent.
You are correct, they are sealed but the OP means the screw area caps on some models.
I have them on mine on my fog and reverse.

Carefully using a knife blade or similar should prise it out.
Use safety glasses whist your at it and maybe masking tape to avoid marks.

The caps aren't really needed, but the are purely fir asthetic reasons. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

or drill a small hole into the cap, screw a self tapper into it and pull it out. They're not really needed.

Yep, good idea. Of course the caps are no good after though.

Use a proper pick set to get behind them. That's all I did
