Default Front Side Marker - how to?

Hi,

Looked though the forum and not seeing this topic. I need to replace the bulb. Does the front side marker just pull off or does it need to be unscrewed from inside?

Thanks Guys!

The front side marker has a twist-in bulb holder (small one).
1/4 turn and pull out to remove ... reach back behind the bezel.

I think it depends on the year...on my '82 you press a tab on the side and then twist and pull the socket out of the light. The bulb pulls straight out.

Thanks guys, actually need info on removing the actual marker to get to the bulb.

How do you pull the marker off, mine is a 1979.

There should be 2 nuts on the back side to remove the entire housing ...
but that won't get the bulb out. Bulb socket twists into back of the marker housing.
Be careful ... the studs are not strong. You breakit, you buy it ... a new one.
