Welcome to the forums

After the two screws are pulled out, the lens may still be stuck in place from age.

They pull straight out like the tail lamps do.
See if that works by pulling on it.

Hi Van, glad I could be of help.

If you have to ever replace the front side lamps, they also have the round tube/tab things that stick into the body.
They also take a "hard pull" to pop them out.

And hey, we are glad you are here

Glad you got it out. I just pulled mine yesterday to get the bulb number. I am replacing mine with PIAA superwhites.

Joey, let me know how you like them. I am having problems with mine and the amount of light they give out. If you notice a big difference, let me know. Thanks. :fireman:
