Brake light bulb replace

Dad's 99 F350 dually has a brake/turn signal bulb out. How do you get the lens off or get to the bulb. It also has a bed liner. I can see two screws that look like they may go into the lens on an angle where the tailgate cable hooks. Didn't have time to work on it today. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

Remove the two angled screws and then it has to be forced out, with some pressure, it feels like its going to break and then it pops out.

A 5/16" nut driver works well. Put a small dab of grease on the two snap-in "tangs" for next time's ease of removal.

Grease is a good idea.

Thanks, Pop.

That might be the wisest thing I've heard in a long time!

Boy, you must have been keeping some pretty bad company if that's true! Thanks for the vote, though, but I really believe that Pop has tons more of it stored away for our benefits than I do... and there are plenty of others in here who are right up there with Pop.
