    IF this is a round lense in a rubber ring, may say "GLOW RIGHT" on it or some corruption of that Press in on an edge and it should do something that will let you remove it..

    REPLACE with LED replacement, it is a sealed assembly you can not replace just the bulb.

    On rear radiator models, that was "sealed off" so the only way was the pry out the housing method...also it is NOT 1157 bulbs...they are unique bulbs with a special base, available at NAPA...at least on mine they are.
  • You are only changing out the bulbs. On mine, I can open the engine compartment and access the bulbs from the rear. The sockets are the twist type. Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Twist off, replace bulb, twist on..you do not need to remove the housing to change the bulb.....Dennis
  • I don't have a Monaco, But I just did my backup light on a 2006 Coachmen. The back up light I had to pry out of the black rubber ring. It was a sealed unit. I had to replace the case and bulb and I got it at NAPA. It looked like the Brake & Turn light is made the same way. Might be useful information for someone. Gary
  • The tail light housing has to be pryed out or popped out of the rear cap..there are two little niches in there and it can be done carefully there...then the lens can be accessed and opened.
