My bed lights don’t work and I think my next step is to remove them to make sure the were re-connected after the bed liner was sprayed in.

It look like there’s a slot in the top for a screwdriver, but twisting screwdriver in there feels more like it will break it.

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

1:46 mark ???

looks like it may be a roll the dice deal as to if the light clips break.

Slots top and bottom. Try alternating back and forth.

Bed liner made it a snug fit.

Once you get them out and if they're plugged in, try switching sides with them.

Yeah. Mine were brittle. A little silicon /RTV holds them in fine if they break.

Are they even supposed to work? I read some accounts that seem to say that it’s a feature my truck might not have.

Thanks for this!
Switching sides worked.

I only broke one of them.
