Clearance Light Lens Removal

I need to replace a bulb (I hope) in my center clearance light and need to remove the amber lens cover. Lots of info about installling for those without but I haven't been able to find anything about removing the lens cover so that I can replace a bulb. Can any one point me in the right direction? I'm working with a 2008 F-450.

Thanks.

John

You just unscrew the screw and carefully lift the lense off from where the screw hole is. Its very simple

It is a Philips head screw

There is a little tap that holds the front of the lense in place that's why you wave to lift from the rear

Go slow when lifting the lens the foam/rubber seal maybe stuck to it and or the base.

Definitely a "if it were a snake, it would have bitten me" type of 'repair'! I can't believe that I couldn't see that screw in the back. When I first looked, I was immediately drawn to the tab on the front and only focused there thinking it was some type of latch. Never even thought to look further. No wonder I couldn't find any info on the forums. Dumb....

Any way, thanks, posters. And thanks for not calling me out.
