Default IIRC, the plastic lens does just pop out; the "clip" is at the rear of the lens.

I found out because mine broke on its own and wouldn't stay in the fender hole. They do seem to be quite fragile, so it may break . Be careful and do it when it's warm. Mine broke during the winter (in Ohio) Good luck!

Default kick!

You got mad mods on your beast, and you are afraid to change bulb?

Use credit card or driver's license.
Insert any end of either of the cards mentioned above between the fender and the housing where it meets the fender.
Press the card towards the center of the housing with a bit of force, but not too much.
Pull the housing off. It will make a bit of noise, but it should not brake anything. It's a clip-on type of system.

Good luck!
