Turn signal help

[rjstick]

Hi. I'm trying to replace a grill mounted turn signal bulb but can't figure out how to remove it. 68Plymouth Fury.

Before I do something stupid I thought I'd ask the group. Does it just pull out from the rear? Doesn't seem to want to come out that way and I don't want to break anything.

Thanks!

same issue

I was going to post on that same issue! I have a 67 fury I'm trying to change it on. I've turned it and pulled it but I still can't remove it. Anyone have a clue? You can see all my wrench marks.

Have you tried taking the lens off and pushing the bulb in and twisting counterclockwise?

That'd be my guess.

I have a bulb out on my 11 RAM & can you believe that you have to remove the grill & then the entire headlight assembly? Who's the genius.......

To replace the DRL on a C6 Vette, you have to remove the fender...

I'd just leave it off.....

Don't know but just looking at your pic can you pry it apart when the base connects to the cup i.e. using a flat blade screw driver?

No, no, no....

Step1. you post a thread on the Corvette forum.

2. Everyone tells you that you have to go to the dealer.

3. They start recommending dealerships that they go to... usually at least a thousand miles away.

4. You take the Corvette to the local dealership and they charge you $1000.

5. You Zaino your car and post pictures on how shiny it is in the sunlight.

I think with a 68 Fury you have to reach through the grille with a long phillips screwdriver to remove the housing from the grille and then take the lens off. Pull the bulb out from the front. It's been a long time though since I've seen one though, so I may be wrong.

B.J. You just sparked a memory. The socket can't be pulled out.

Here we go:

"The majority of the bulb sockets in taillights,turn signals,and cornering lamp assemblies are permanently stamped or pressed into white metal,potmetal or aluminum housings. "

Thanks for confirming. I got to the same conclusion trying everything I could think of to remove the bulb socket from the housing.

you must remove the parking light from the grille they are held in by a headless bolt with a nut on the backside which you can reach from the backside. then remove the lense to access the bulb
