72 Dash Turn Blinker light bulb
The right turn signal arrow light is out in the dash. Can I get to the bulb from under the dash or will I have to start pulling stuff out to get to it?

I just replaced that bulb on my '68......I don't know if later models are the same.
I was able to carefully reach under the dash and pop out the socket for the right turn signal----not a lot of room for your hand, but it beats dropping the steering column and taking the gauge panel off!

Hi frb,
Because the directional signal bulbs are at the bottom of the gauge they're pretty easy to reach from below.
Be careful as you pull the socket out that you don't pull the plastic part of the socket out but the metal part stays in the hole.
Kinda wiggle it so you're sure the whole thing is releasing.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Regards,
Alan

Alan, thanks for the picture. What am I looking for on the pic for where the bulb socket is? I guess I am not seeing which part is the socket. Also, do you know the part number for the bulb?
