So I looked it over, it seems like you have to remove the lens to access the bulbs. I presume the assembly stays in place, and you just take off the lens, but it is not readily evident how to do so. What is the technique? Already searched and got the bulbs needed.

Thanks

Remove the large white plastic "nuts" on the inside of the trunk. Carefully remove the lense.

But, don't be surprised if some DAPO has previouly sealed the lense to the housing, in which case you are REALLY in for a treat. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

I don't mean to completely hijack this thread but...

Once the cover is off, what bulbs does one use?

I have a very tiny bulb next to the outside edge that i can't find a match for and even the others are a bugger to match up.

Does anyone have a list of bulbs with todays numbers?

Right here for bulb numbers

Someone else looked these up, Thanks, BTW.

What to use to seal lens to assembly, or are these seals still available?
