push back the hatch trim above the licesne plate lights. find two delicate plastic springey release clips on both ends of each light. gently lever that 'catch' little arm backso the light is released. and the light will be in your hands, attcached to the van by the wires. then take out the screws and bulbs. treat the push-on wire connections ....particularly on the left licesne light .. those push on wire terminals feed power to the right light from the left light. they usually corrode and don't make contact. use electrical contact cleaner or at least , in my world, WD-40 putting those terminals back on. scott formerly of Bent Rod Motors On 7/27/2013 12:08 PM, Eric Caron wrote: > Hi listers, > > As I didn't get teased for my request for info on replacing my marker light bulb I'm taking a chance on the next bulb replacement. > > I tried to remove the plastic cover over one of the license plate bulbs and found myself stuck again. I took off two screws and then tried to gently pull on the plastic cover to get it off. I was unsuccessful. I would rather ask you folks how to get it off then pull too hard or incorrectly and break something. So tips on this plastic lens removal or directions on how to access the bulb would be appreciated. > > Eric Caron > 85 GL Westfalia auto > |
