Side Marker Lights
« on: February 26, 2004, 18:10:50 »
I've removed the lense covers on my side marker lights and exposed the bulbs but was unable to get the bulbs to budge.  Is there a secret to getting them free?

Push the bulb in and turn it to your left. Spray some WD40 or a mild solvent will help.

I use "PB Blaster" to get things loose.  You can find it at typical autoparts stores.  I think I got mine at NAPA.

Thanks, a little WD 40 did the trick.   Also MB had all the bulbs including the one for my Becker radio.   I've now got the license plate light working but still no side marker lights.   Time to check the wiring.
