Stupid question about changing a light bulb
Permalink  

I'm embarrassed to ask but unscrewing the lens cover nor pulling out the wire unit from behind underneath didn't work. How do you replace a parking light on a 67 Parisienne? Unless something is stuck that's not supposed to be...

Is the lens just stuck to the gasket?   I think it just comes out after screws removed

 Ideally it should. Eventually it did after pushing hard from behind and sticking a suction cup it finally "unglued" from the gasket. Now I gotta find a yellow bulb.

 

Thanks Carl.

You should be able to get a 1157A bulbs at any auto parts place, including Canadian Tire.   They often come packaged in sets of 2.
