Default Tail Light Lens Cover

Ok maybe I am just over thinking this and will more than likely smack myself with a rubber mallet....BUT I have to ask because it is kicking my ***.

I have a 2013 Harley Sportster 1200c and I can not get the lens cover off. I have to relocate the rear turn signals so I can put on a pair of Saddle Bags, but this seemingly idiotic task is stopping me. I have read to pry it off but that doesnt seem to be working to well and I really don't want to break the lens if I dont have to. I have done all the work myself for every mod on the bike so far and refuse to bow down to the harley shop for something that should be easy.

Does it pry off or do I HAVE to remove the entire tail light assembly using those pain in the *** screws under the fender to get it off?

Thanks in advance and please be gentle if it is just a pry job
