After checking the fuse, tell us what you drive. Generic answer for generic question.

At the outside edge of the lens there is a small, narrow slot/gap that allows you to slide a thin/narrow piece of metal up next to the lens and release the catch that holds the lense/light assembly in the mirror housing. The outside end swings down after releasing the catch allowing you to remove the assembly. In my case the lamp was not burned out but just loose.
