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.
