If you look carefully, you can see two slots along the edge of the lens. There are two more on the other side. Notice that the slot is narrower where it is closer to the switch. There are corresponding tabs on the lens for each slot.
Insert a fingernail in between the lens and the body of the fixture right by the switch. You should be able to move the away from the switch by about a 1/4". It might have a bit of a detent feel to it, but it will move. That will line up the tabs with the larger part of the slot.
Now just give it a little wiggle and it should come free. Don't yank on it! Just be sure that all four tabs are clear. You may have to slip them out one at a time.
To install the lens, fit the each of the four tabs into the wider part each slot, making sure that the lens is seated properly and then slide the lens toward the switch.
That's it. The trick is knowing how the tabs work and how to free up the lens.

Thanks, Steve. Just the information I needed to switch out incandescent bulbs for LED.
I thought removing the lens would be a simple task - perhaps a simple "release catch and slide off lens" - until I tried it
I suppose they are made to fit tight to withstand towing. Good that manufacturer thought of this, but they should include instructions.
Your post saved me a call to the dealer.
