Just undo the nuts not forgetting the one at the side (total of 5)
then pull. the mastic holds really well but it will come away.
oh and disconnect electric plug to lights.

I had my R/H light unit out only last weekend.(my93 WRX) (Running repairs 'til I can get some new one's)
As posted above, remove all 5 nuts, after pulling gently back the boot trim to gain access.
Disconnect connector and pull from outside/push from inside. I found that by "carefully" using an old (blunt'ish) screwdriver to ease the sealant away from the light body on the inside ONLY whilst pulling from the outside made the job easier. I found that you have to withdraw the light unit out "squarely" ie equal gaps either side as the unit can twist and the stud threads bind on the inner body work, but it is easy enough to do, just got to be patient with it.
