Puddle light replacement

[Clayton66]

How do I change my L side puddle light? There's no place to insert a knife point or a screwdriver?
Any ideas?

Yea, there is, if you look real close you can see a very small notch on the end of the light. If you put a thin screwdriver in there and just apply a curling pressure the assembly will come out. Not the lens, you remove that after you remove the entire assembly. Then replace the bulb and reverse the procedure.

Be careful, if it's a vintage part that's been out in the elements, the lens could be very brittle or even stuck to the assembly. You have to be gentle with a sharp knife.

When you pull it down, it comes out angled, there is a pig-tail plug at the end. Just unplug it, do your work on the light in a comfortable place, then plug it back in, tuck in the wires and angle it back in (body side first) until it clicks in place. You may have to try the tucking a couple of times until you find the clearance that will allow the assembly to be reinstalled.
