Yup all 3, and that black flap thing that you remove the one screw from to pull it back. I lift the black tab and nothing releases. The drivers side wiggles more than the passengers side. Neither will just release

You have to pull HARD to release them initially. You will think they are going to break, but the clips are just super tight. It helps if you pull the light from the inside edge and kind of rotate it towards the outside edge of the truck.
