Tail Light removal 2011 Via

No visible screws and no access to the sockets from the inside. I can see two self tapping screws on the inside holding the lights on. I assume the plastic bezel snaps off giving access to the lens for re-lamping?

So I was able to carefully pry the bezel off with a small screwdriver and a plastic trim tool to reveal 2 mounting screws, however the lights are self contained LED with no replaceable lamps. This light was used on many Winnebago motorhomes like View/Navion etc. and was made by Glo Brite but Googling the part numbers came up with multiple "No Longer Available" results. I finally found some at vehiclelight.com that look and measure identical to the Glo Brites and I ordered both brake/tail and both amber turn signal as 3 out of my 4 lights had multiple burned out sections of LEDs. If anyone in the future comes here looking for how to remove, carefully insert a small screwdriver into the top part between the bezel and the lens and lift just enough to allow a plastic trim tool then carefully pry till it pops off.

Too bad about the manufacturer bailing on owners like that. If it were mine, I'd pull it apart and replace the bad LEDs but I have the equipment, and components.

Installed the new ones today, found them at vehiclelights.com. They are exactly like the originals and fit perfectly, plus I got shiny new bezels to replace my faded ones.
