Tourer number plate bulbs

Evening all

I need to change one of the number plate bulbs as ones blown, but.....
For some reason that I simply can not fathom, the lenses are held in by tamper-proof TX screws which are really really rusty!
Any tips on how to remove them with breaking something?

You don't need to remove them.
Manual says " to access a bulb use a flat-bladed screwdriver to ease the lens from the underside of the applique. The lever action of the screwdriver will compress the spring retaining clip and enable the lens to be pulled free. When replacing the lens insert the end opposite to the spring clip, then push the side with the spring clip into place".
Good luck.
