Eric,

The whole license light assembly will pull down from the black plastic surround after you remove the 2 Phillips head sheet metal screws.. Assembly consists of the rubber seal, the bulb holder and the clear lens. It's likely not working due to rust. Peal the gasket back, unhook the wires and clean it all up and it'll probably fix the problem.

Jim

Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.

I was unsuccessful.  I would rather ask you folks how to get it off then pull too hard or incorrectly and break something.  So tips on this plastic lens removal or directions on how to access the bulb would be appreciated.
