Can someone tell me how to remove the front side marker light for bulb replacement on a '91Q. I took the plastic shield off the top nd removed the phillips head screw on top, but somehthing is still holding the assembly in. I don't want to break anthing by pulling too hard. is there another screw on the side or underneath? If so how do you access it.

No more screws - it uses a ball & socket type joint... It takes some force to get it out.

You can gently pry it - wrap the prying utensil in a cloth to protect your paint (and the edge of the housing).

On mine, the ball is a tad big or the socket - It's a HUGE PITA to replace.

If you wiggle it from side to side, it will come out with some force.
