Do I just take out the two bolts on the outside of the plastic lens? I have big hands and cant really get to the bulb from the underside...
anyone know the proceedure or the bulb i need? I got pulled over the other night - practically felony style - all because of this burned out bulb.
thanks

Unscrew the two screws holding the bulb unit in. Bulbs might be 197s if memory serves correctly. Make sure the bulbs wires are aligned to make contact with the housing unit. Its an easy job. Should take 15-20 minutes. Pop the old bulb out and dbl check the part #. Might need a magnifying glass to read the bulb # if your eyes are as bad as mine.

Replaced mine last month.
Above directions are spot-on.
Bulb #168.
