how do i take them off?

LoneStarFRC

Remove your L/R tail light housing and reach inside. There are two nuts to remove that are 10mm I think. They are the stamped metal "PAL" type nuts. Try not to drop when removing. HTH

thank you very much, i was going underneath the car trying to find a hole to get in there, i thought i had to take out my rear quarter panel off , thanks alot.

Mr. Lucky

except it's not 10mm... it's either 3/8 or 7/16 (I forget which). I would also strongly suggest using an offset box wrench

...and gripping it as close to the fastener as possible (so you don't break the plastic stud from leverage while removing the metal palnut).

thank you very much Mr. lucky, and for the pics too.

the nuts are 7 mm, i change mine between red and amber now and then and i go in from the bottom without removing anything, but i dont have stock mufflers (Stingers) so there is some room.

that's exactly what im doing, i ordered the amber ones, hope it looks good.

Mr. Lucky

I think you are confusing the side markers with the center brake light. I just recently had my side markers out, and I am 100% certain they are not secured with 7mm hardware. The offset ratcheting box wrench that I used was 3/8" on one end and 7/16" on the other. I don't remember which end I used, but both are substantially larger than 7mm.

I also recently replaced my center brake light, and that does require a 7mm socket.

I changed mine to the Euro Amber (yellow) also; However, I just took off the outer rear tail lights to get to the side markers. After disconnected the old lense, pre-screw the nut to the new marker before the final install on the car.

vetteguy8

that's actually a good idea, thanks.

I tracked down some new lenses at Ecklers, the only thing is I dont no where to get the nuts, Ecklers dont carry them, any ideas?

Mr. Lucky

You can reuse the old ones or check your local hardware store.

On C5 convertible to replace rear side marker bulb on quarter panel, first remove two torx screws to remove tail lens to the extreme right. Next remove the two 10mm nuts securing the power antennae. Now you have access to reach side marker, twist bulb socket from light unit, pull out old #194 bulb and press in new bulb. Reassemble.

how do u change the passenger side marker when car has power antenna

Take passenger tire off and pull the inner fender liner out. Just a few screws and you get east access to the marker light.
