OK - should be a simple procedure, BUT, spent over an hour trying to figure out how to "open" the light to change a bulb. Tried squeezing, prying and swearing at it to no avail. Can anyone help?

It is the bow lights on an Oceanis 40. Individual port and starboard. If I cannot get it done this evening I will send pics tomorrow

I took my Aqua signal apart then noticed the bulb has a plastic assembly that screws out of the bottom of the unit.
