    Griffin,
    When i replaced mine i took a broom handle and broke the bulb out as it has a lip it locks behind making it impossible to get out. i then ordered my new bulbs from NAPA (i would get the spot) as you can get a regular wide area also but they dont light up nearly as much. Now take off the back rubber bulb holder and shake the glass out, i took a little soapy water around the new bulbs and with the tapered back they slide right in. good luck!!!!!!

    The lights are Barnegat QL32s.
    You don't need to break the bulb.
    Remove the rubber boot from the back of the light after loosening the stainless steel clamp
    Pull the stainless steel reflector from the boot
    Spray a little WD40 at edges of bulb inside the rubber boot and squeeze the sides of the boot side to side , the bulb will come out. It is kinda a PITA but very doable.

    Bulbs are 7604 for Spot
    7614 for Flood

    So does the whole assembly come out the front or do I need to go in from under the seat to get to it? I took all the screws out from around it and it never budged, didn't want to get too mean with it until I knew for sure lol

    The bulb and rubber housing comes out from the back side (inside the hull). The reason it won't come out from the front is because it's sealed into the hull using a high grade marine adhesive that's meant to keep it mounted there.
