| 2015 model 178: I cannot seem to figure out how to take off the plastic lens on the light fixtures to clean the dead bugs out. Any hints? Thanks |

Yes, place a pry device (screwdriver) close to center of lens nearest switch, pry lens to outside, if you look closely you will see the locking nubs move outward. Once loose you can work it off. Be gentle and careful. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I just grab the outside with my fingers, and gently press near the center with both thumbs, and the cover comes right off. No tools required (unless fingers count as tools). ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

Hey Annie, + 1 to GlueGuy, but I can't do that with arthritis, and mine are tight. If you have the rectangle lights they need to move off center to edge of light. Good luck. You'll figure it out. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

| If Optronics LED interior light, squeeze, no tools needed. If have trouble, do internet search to see how/where to squeeze. |
