Topic: 1940 Ford, Removal of dash light bulbs?


bwhitworth    -- 02-04-2013 @ 6:39 AM
  I want to remove the dask light bulbs from the dash and can't get them out. Do the pry out or do they unscrew like the parking light bulbs?

Thanks for your help.

  They are simply pushed in to place. Thus, "pull out"... I can't imagine needing to pry them even if they have been in place a long time.
They may be a tad difficult to reach and properly grasp.

  ??? If you want to remove the light bulb socket from the instrument panel you can pry it out, it is held in place with metal fingers on the socket. If you want to remove the light bulb from the socket, push in on the bulb turn it slightly and then pull straight out, the bulb has two small pins on the base that lock the bulb in place in the socket.
