Default License relocation kit bulb replacement help needed!

So I just noticed today that one of the two license plate bulbs is burnt out. Now I referenced the bulb in the service manual but for the life of me I can't find a replace procedure anywhere. It's appears like the clear lens is rivited to the housing, but I could be wrong. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome.... Stupid lights!

Looking at the instructions for kit number 67900127, it looks to me like the lamp assembly needs to be replaced as a unit.

These documents are making me question a replacement

I suppose I will need to talk to the dealer...I literally just replaced the turn signal kit that attaches to the license plate relocation. After testing all the signals i realized the license plate bulb fault. Originally, the left signal relocation bullet housing snapped at the threads on the bar. I was able to get the part replaced on warranty. If this license plate light unit isn't servicable, I will have to attempt to warrenty that as well. Ugh! I don't want to sound like a demanding douchbag.

David, I hope I'm wrong, but I keep seeing assembly replacement. May as well call the dealer/parts guy.

You may very well be right, which would be a huge disappointment. It's like a gremlin dropped a grenade on my rear end...rear turn signal brakes off and lights going out on a non-servicable light housing. Who was the genius who designed that accessory...seriously? I have been putting off dropping by the dealership...instead I decided to visit the HD Museum in Milwaukee.

Finally visited the dealer and it is non-servicable housing. I'm getting a new one under warrenty. Stupid design if you ask me.
