I think the bulb blew trying to replace it. Might be a stupid question but how do you take the lens off. There's no screws and I tried to pop it off but it wouldn't come and I didn't wanta break it

You just have to carefully pry it off. Unfortunately though your lense is at least 35 years old and you have a real posibility of breaking it. Fortunately they are reproduced, they also were used in econoline vans as well.

X2 on very very carefully just pry it off. Try a small flat tip screwdriver on the bottom edge first there are 2 lock tab areas on each edge. (Top and bottom only, NOT the sides).

When it shatters to pieces, no worries they are order-able thru many of the reproduction vendors, or great time to go to LED all together.

Zoom in on the pic to see the groove on the top and bottom.
