I recently replaced my front turn signal on my 83.5. All it is, is 2 screws
that hold it in on the side. If these screws are missing, you can use sheet
metal screws just as easily, they just have to be at least 3 inches long. The
bulb itself is in it's own assembly, which clips in on the sides, when you
pull it out, you'll see a small tab that you squeeze and it pops out. The
bulb is held in by 2 small studs, you can just twist that a quarter turn, and
that comes out. When you put it back together, just make sure that the rubber
bell is over the back of the turn signal lens housing. It's pretty much
simple. By the way, how did that electrical thing turn out for you? What was
the problem?
