REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Some instrument, marker and other bulbs are accessible without removing the lens. To service these bulbs, grasp and twist the socket from the rear, then withdraw the socket and bulb assembly. Simply pull out the bulb and push in a replacement, then reposition and twist the socket in place.

NOTE: The access to some rear light bulbs is often hidden behind carpeting or other interior trim.

2. Depress and twist the lamp to the left (counterclockwise) to remove it.
3. Inspect the socket for corrosion and clean or replace, if necessary.

   To install:
