front running light

[4speed]

OK, I can't wait for my services manual to arrive so maybe you can help me out. The left amber running/turning light has lost its coloring. just how do I replace the bulb and will I be able to remove the amber "flecks" that show on the inside of the lens? Thanks for your help

The bulbs themselves are amber. They're pretty easy to replace, easier still if you have small hands. You can access the bulb fitting by raising the headlights, removing the hood-stop, and puting your hand down the space created by the raised headlights to feel the fitting - you won't be able to see it. Give it a quarter turn, and out comes the fitting. Replace the bulb, and replace the hood stop and you're set. As for accessing the inside of the lens, I haven't had the need for that yet.

Good luck.

Thanks, I was able to reach in through the brake duct, I only cut muself once. There is a tab that you must depress before the socket will tunn. The flakes of amber paint aren't worth the trouble to try to remove, I'm the only one who will noticw anyway.
