Exterior Light Bulb Replacement 2013 43dft

Our exterior light bulb has gone out on our coach and was just wondering if anyone has replaced there's yet. Not sure how to get the lens cover off.
It looks like you need to push in 2 tabs on the bottom, but I think if I pushed any harder I would break something. Any hints or tips would be appreciated.

That's the only light the manual doesn't give any info about replacing.

They do push up from the bottom, but do it on a warm day or they can crack. Also make sure it was not painted to close to the lens edge making it hard to come off. Might try going aroud it with a razor knife first.

I have a 2011 Knight. If you have the same light I do, that is one with a yellow lens on bottom with a solid black top, then your in for a surprise. The black top is the part that comes off. The top has a bead of silicon on the top so you must cut that with a razor blade, then the plastic tips can be pushed in and the top removed. That will expose some screws which hold on the yellow lens.

Be sure and replace the bulb with a new LED bulb, or you will be doing this again before long. It took me a few times to figure that out.
