Question Parking lights..help

So the passenger side parking light is out on my pickup, and I cant figure out how the heck to change the bulb on it! I took the 2 outside screws out and atempted to remove it lens to gain acsses to the burnt out bub, but i coulnt not remove it. It seems to be attached to part of the grill as well. do I really have to remove the grill to replace this stupid bulb? theres gotta be an easer way..If someone could enlighted me on how to change this bulb it would be teriffic.

thanks everyone!

no the parking light is not attached to the grille, if im thinking of the right one. i just replaced mine. you have to take the three outside screws off that are holding the lens on. the entire light casing should then come away from the grille, still attached by a wire. just push the button and remove the wire. i dont know how to change the bulb, i just had to replace the whole thing because mine was all bent. maybe someone else could help with that but no, it is not attached to the grille.

you might just have to replace the whole thing casing and everything i recently took mine off working on the front end and didnt see any kind of way to get the bulb out, i think it might be all attached. check your owners manual.

if this is for 89-95 style ones take the two screws out on the side now take a thin flat blade between the grille and light and gently twist it
