2007 Justa - Tail Light Is a Booger (top)

Should I just pull the whole lens? The top one wont make contact with the bulb, I need to get this inspected so I can start tearing into the timing chain!

Thoughts?

And it's fixed! Simple, must say it is much easier to change the bulbs in the tail light by removing the whole lens!

Basically one of the pigtails that makes contact with the metal board inside the lens was so bent it was not even able to recess into the less. It carved up the lens back plate pretty good but with some needle nose pliers and gentle tugs all is well in the world of light!

Thanks,

Crap So I see I just screwed up with my two first posts. Sorry, I can't figure out how to delete them.
