You don't have to cut the taillight up to clear it. You take a long screwdrive, hammer, long needle nose pliers(not absolutely necessary) and a set of dykes.
You take the long screwdriver and insert it in the holes for the bulbs. You smack it good with the hammer and break the red lense(it's roughly an inch away from the clear lense right by the bulb location). The first smack seems like your gonna break through the lense and break the outer lense, there is room behind the red lense. After you break it continue breaking the lense with the screwdrive and hammer. Then turn the light upside down and use the needle nose to grab pieces of the lense and cut the pieces with the dykes to get them small enough to fall through the hole. I did it this way. I don't have any pics because my tails were tinted when i cleared them. I do however have this pic of the lense pieces.
