On our 177 we have what we refer to as the "porch light" located on the exterior just to the left of the door. It burned out this weekend and I couldn't see how to get at the bulb. I didn't have a step ladder so I didn't get a real good look but I didn't see any fasteners. I pried on the lens to see if it'd pop off but I didn't want to break it. Should I pry a bit harder?

Push up gently on the bottom center of the amber lens. The lens should pop off. Then push in on the bulb and twist it. While you're at it, replace the bulb with an LED.

There is also a little indentation on the bottom of the lens, you can pop a small flat head screwdriver there to help pop it off.
