Liftmaser 3280 Release Tabs

How do I replace a bulb in the side light? I have recently had installed a Premium series 3280. Works just great. I cant move the lens around the bulb to replace the bulb. I looked up the manual which states to push the release switch but there is no release switch that I can see or feel. Can you help please?
