How do remove the dash bulbs

[Blackmagic94]

How do you remove them I don't want to mess anything up by yanking wires

 

[steelandcanvas]

Un-screw the cover (counter-clockwise) and push and turn lamp, remove and replace. Do you have an Operator's Manual yet?

 

[Westech]

Nope

Just read this thread and noticed your sigline.

1973 AM General M35A2
2008 F250 FX4, 13.2@102mph in the quarter
1994 Turbo Mustang, 10.3@136mph
2000 Suzuki GSXR750

And your having trouble changing a lightbulb...

Sorry, I just thought it was kinda funny.

If you turn on the high beams you will see a red light in the middle of a funny looking cap. (High beam indicator). Unscrew each of the caps you see like this. Behind them is a light bulb. Push in slightly and give it a quarter turn then pull it out. I ordered mine from 1000bulbs.com. I can get you the exact number if you need it.

Wow! You really got detailed with that answer.

 

[ODdave]

Yea, but quarter turn which direction?

You got me on that one, I should have been more detailed in my directions.

 

[SoundGuy]

Ether direction is fine, one just causes the bulb to break in your hand and gets blood on your carc. I wonder if the carc will get in your blood stream and cause some problems? Darn, now I have to go look at my truck to see what direction it is.

Any you guys know the reasoning behind the blue lenses? I read in a thread somewhere that a guy had a bunch of nos ones.

 

[KsM715]

Counter clockwise to remove.


If anyone finds that thread or the blue covers let me know I want one and haven't been able to find them

 

[SoundGuy]

Mine are red. I thought red was because it doesn't cause your eyes to dilate. I think blue is for the high cool factor.

 

[steelandcanvas]

Did they not discover that blue didn't affect your night vision as much as the red did?

 

[SoundGuy]

I know doing stage work it is easier to read by blue light in a dark room than it is by red. I wonder if that had something to do with it. I wish I had blue lenses. Mine need replaced anyway as they are very brittle.

 

[steelandcanvas]

I wish I could find some of the cool yellow ones. 'Cmon Dave, what's the answer??

 

[Blackmagic94]

Well that was easy i didnt know you removed them from the front.


Well those Red LEDs suck, dont buy them, they have a plastic coating on the side which makes them dimmer then a stock bulb, i guess i reorder some white ones as that should work better.

 

[steelandcanvas]

As often as you have to change them, I'd stick with the plain old incandescent ones, much cheaper.

I dunno, It was a legit question. LOL.
