Another running board light question

The light on my drivers side front board went out, guess the bulb blew. Went to remove the cover underneath to replace the bulb, there are two bolts, one twisted right off and the other just spins, can't get to it unless I brake the whole assy I guess. Does the lens pop off from up top?

Well, that tells me something. : )
Anyway, I think the point is there's already a copious "running boards" thread open. You might need to buy the service manual to get more detail.

lens pops out

Yes the lens pops out from the top, I just did this replacement job. But it is extrememly difficult to get it out without doing damage to it. I simply bought a new lens from the ford dealer. If you take the bolts off the back side you can unhook the electrical connection and get the bulb & socket out from the botton and lens out from the top.

If you are going to buy new lenses or sockets check out the great guys on this site who are selling replacement ford parts at a discount. They have been real helpful in addressing this subject.
