the clear part literally just comes off.
and inside is a clear 194 bulb.
That's it!

Umm...not really. ChildrenOfBodom has it correct. I had to kind of force mine to come down and it was slightly difficult to remove the lens.

they have a rubber trim on them, but nothing that should stick. give em a little force and see what happens
there is a small peg that sticks out of the housing into the clear plastic to keep it aligned properly, but it shouldn't stick at all

Ya, the guys previous posts are correct. When you don't have to mess with things, that's what happens. Try a little WD-40 that always helps. I suggest WD-40 a lot!
