OK, there are a couple approaches to this. Replace the bulb, or replace the whole unit. Even though it says "Pull" on it, some of these have the lens epoxied on. If you want, you can drill a hole in it big enough to get the old bulb out, the new one in, and then seal the hole with epoxy. The trick to getting the hole big enough is starting with a pilot hole, and then mayb a 1/4". A rat tail file or a Dremel tool will finish the job.
If you decide to replace the whole deal, that is quite simple. I would almost be sure that there is a connector, probably buried in the frame rail. Follow the wires were they go into the frame, and gently pull them from the frame until you see how they connect into the main harness. It here is a connector, you're home free. Just replace the unit. If there is no connector, then you will need to buy mating quick connectors, and some liquid tape. Cut the old wires at a convenient place, strip all the wires, and attach the connectors. Test the light, and if OK, put the liquid tape on the connectoprs, especially cover the ends where the stripped wires were.
