Once you take those two screws out, the bezel should lift off, then remove lens to get to bulb. Might be stuck, with rust. To remvoe the light assembly, the screws run through the base of the light, into the top of the cab.

Hy 48loadmasterguy, different light manufacturers attach their lights to the cab in different ways, Spanky has explained one way, check to see if there are more screws securing the base to the cab, if you find none then the base is probably stuck to the top of the cab, I've had to pry them off and ended up with half the gasket on the base and half stuck to the cab roof, good luck, hope that helps.

Donnie, Ill bet the lens has "glued" itself to the gasket/base.Probably from sitting in the sun and elements over the years. Maybe try some WD 40 or other solvent around the bottom of the lens and see if that dont loosen it up?
