Replacing Corner Light Bulb

I know a few people have replaced the corner lights on their runners, so i was wondering (without access to a fsm) how i open the housing/remove the corner light to replace the burnt out bulb? i saw one phillips head screw on top, but other than that? i was dodging the bird-size mosquitos and looking at dusk here in AK, so it was a little hurried. i'll be changing it tomorrow, but i fear i'll break a mounting place on the corner light that i'm not seeing- i'm infamous for that!

searched the query "corner lights". went through many posts- nada.
hopefully if it's been discussed you can point me in the right direction?

thanks!

though it may be obvious, when you pull, pull towards the front of the vehicle, not to the side. It sometimes makes it easier if you wiggle from top to bottom as you pull to slowly loosen up the connection. The connection prongs are similair to the rear taillights. (though with the rear taillights you pull to the side)..

Just as they said take out the screw then pull twards the front, i have had to take miine off like 5 time so far but still have yet to figure out the trick to get them to pop off. Just pull slowly and wiggle it around and it will come off at some point. putting it back in is a lot easier.
