How to replace cab running lights?

Can someone tell me how to replace burnt out light bulbs in the orange running lights on the outside top of my cab on a 1988 F150 XLT Lariat. It has the inside cloth headliner, so there is no access to them from inside the cab. I am thinking that the orange lens must just pop off, or something. And what kind of replacement bulb do I need?
Thanks,
Frank.

It's really simple...there are two Philips screws that hold the lens down from the top. Take them out, then pull the lens off the cab (it might be a little sticky...and try not to butcher your foam gasket) and out a few inches. Grab the socket, give it a quarter-turn, and pull it out of the lens. Change the bulb, and you're done.

The bulb is a 194 push-in type.
