Replacing an external caravan light bulb

This probably seems a really simple question but can anyone tell me how to replace an external light bulb on a Swift Challenger 500SE? Do we just lever the cover off?

Had exactly the same problem - asked a caravan servicing mechanic in the end. The cover responded to a firm squeeze and pull technique. I felt that any levering would damage the 'van exterior and too much gripping would result in a handful of shattered plastic. Why, oh why, cannot manufacturers arrange for bulb replacement from the inside ? Rocket science or what ? ?

Some makers already do this, at least on our Abbey GTS Vogue the awning light can be replaced from inside the van.

Thanks for that, wish me luck with the 'squeeze and pull technique!!'
