changing bulbs for aerobody

Post by calawyclif »

Hi All,

Just curious on any tips on changing a rear left blinker light and a front left yellow lens parking light on an aerobody car. I know i have to move a lot of things but before I dive into it I wanted to know if there were any tricks I should know about. Both look like they could be a pain in the royal A>>. Especially the rear light in the back end. Thanx for your help in advance.

Best, cliff see u on the 11th

I HAVE SEEN THE GUYS AT CALLAWAY TAKE OFF THE LICENCE PLATE AND REACH IN BEHIND THE BUMPER FOR REAR TAIL LIGHT.
I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH FRONT TURN SIGNAL.

I reached up through the license plate area on mine... It is tight, but if you relax...

I thought the more difficult ones, were the front ones with their socket assy. :afire

The fronts can be done with a bit of patience. There isn't really a trick that I found, but try to remember the socket orientation as you pull it out. That will make it easier to engage the twist lock when you slide it back in.
