Hi,

OK I know there was a post about how to take off the cover on the out side light! Anybody know where it is or how to take it off?? After two camping trips it is not coming on.

Thanks for any help

real easy, take a knife blade or a small screwdriver, and gently stick it in between the lens and body and pry slightly it will start to open, I put an led light out there because i was afraid of it getting so hot, turns out it wont hurt the lens. I left the light on all night one time and it did not harm anything. good luck poddin.

It should just pop out, with a little prying from a screw driver. If I remember right one tab on the bottom and two on top. I replaced the bulb with a LED bulb because the fixture was a little discolored from the heat of the 1141 bulb.

This is the bulb I used, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TKI4VU/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TKI4VU/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00
