    Hi,

    I tried to remove the side marker/ Daylight glass on my Euro Testarossa to change the bulb, but after removal of the 2 front screws I'm not able to open the light.
    I wouldn't brake this expensive part, is there a trick ?

    Thank you

    Louis

    Great insight, but I never thought that there was any access to the rear of these bulbs !
    Absolutely no information in Workshop manual
    By which way ?
    (Inner bulb of daylight on Driver side in my case)

    Once you have removed the two special shouldered screws, then the lens can be removed. The lens has a very thin edge that sticks to the rubber seal around the opening, which is why it doesn't want to come off. I put a screwdriver through the hole for the (removed) screw to allow a little leverage to pull the lens off. You could also pry at the corner(s) very slightly. Do be very careful because the lens can definitely crack and is expensive.
