How do ya get to the bulb on this spotlight?
I've tried to unscrew this plastic lens but it doesn't budge. Likewise the metal ring on the lens. I don't want to force it unless I'm on the right track.
Anyone?

Bruce,
Sorry nobody is responding. SirKnowItAll doesn't have a clue....we got an ol' rig...no fancy lites like what your displaying. In fact, I think we've been lighting candles! 
Sorry I'm no more help, but at least you know you comment got posted!

My unit is likewise to old to have current lighting. By chance does the unit unscrew back at the stem. Meaning the body and lense is one unit and is threaded in the back. Much like a Mag Light. Other than that, if nothing else is turning it is either tight and needs force. From the photo, I didn't see the 'look' of thread below the plastic lens.....so don't know.

I figure I either need to pry off the ring on the lens, or push on those little tabs all around the edge to pop off the lens.
I will call Jack tomorrow and report back.

Report on reassembling:
-Start with patience.
-Position the ring to first snap in the two sets of double pins.
-Lastly press in the single pins.
-Marvel that anyone would design a light like this.
PS Don't buy 12v bulbs at Home Depot. $$$$

Milkman*, I always go to an auto parts store to get my replacement bulbs. Bruce will have to give you the number, I do not have that style light.
