OK, I feel pretty stupid; how do you get the lens and ring off the front turn signals to replace the bulb?
Thanks - I'll try not to have to ask this again!
 
You will need a suitable too that might be an orange stick, or a plastic citrus peeler or even a small screwdriver (though that risks damaging the rubber, esp if it is old).

What I used this a.m. -- https://www.kitchenworksinc.com/Plastic-Citrus-Peeler__677931.aspx?gclid=CJrj__nzis8CFZGCfgodrtcBiw

You pry up the lip that secures the metal ring and get the thin end under the ring. Then you slide it around the ring (still under it) and the ring pops free.

The glass is then removed in a similar fashion though now it under the second more inner lip of the rubber. Do not drop the lens. I usually position a blanket or towel below where I am working to give it a chance if I get careless.

Assembly is, as they say, reverse of the above.
 
The outer rubber lip holds the chrome ring. The chrome ring then holds doun the inner rubber lip, which holds the lens.

I use a small screwdriver that has had the sharp corners rounded off. I find it helps to work around the ring rather than just trying to pry it up in one place. Same with the lens.
