How to pull off lens on outside lights

This the first time I've had to change some burned out outside lights.
I have one on the front on top and one on the side.
There are two screws on either side of the lens in the front but it doesn't come out easy.
What am I missing before I screw it up.

On the front top there are two screws holding the lens in place.  When I take the screws out the lens doesn't come out and I don't want to force it.
Also one side light on top doesn't have any screws. How does it pop off.

The lenses don't pull off the whole light pulls out probably siliconed in when you get the fixture out the light bulb is in a socket that takes a quarter turn to remove.

On mine, I can access the front bulbs from inside the overhead compartments. On the side, the whole light peels off. Held on with some old stick on gasket. Same with the rear.

Same as twig, they are replaced from behind the front cabinets, need to unscrew panels inside the cabinets and in my case remove the TV.
Replace them on a rainy day and you will probably find that most of them leak!
I taped kitchen towel under mine and waited for a wet day before buttoning it up, the wet towel showed which lights leaked.
