Slide in so that your head is resting uncomfortably on the pedals. Small 2 AA cell Magligt helps here. Stare at the backside of the dusty gauce cluster PC board and figure out which ones are NOT dash illumination. (eg. GEN and OIL.) Then use the arm you have with three elbows and take each one out and replace them. You do have three elbows, right? I'm serious about the proceedure otherwise. Another way to this is to get your head under there with a ligt and simply stare at everything, then slouched onto the hump, rech your arm under and swap bulbs by feel. THats what I do most of the time. (THe ones to the far side fo the connector are turn signal and upper left llunination, etc.) I strongly suggest changing every single bulb -- the funcioning ones are certainly old and metallized inside (the filaments evaporate and grey the glass, and just how many times do you want to do this job??!! _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
