A real newb question…… how do I get at the bulb to change it. Does the rocker part snap out.
Thought I'd ask before I go pulling on it like a gorilla. Car is a 73

Thanks

Matthew, the bulb fits into the clip that keeps the switch in place.

Ah…thanks for the pic.

I'm hoping it can be changed ( the bulb ) without having to remove the retaining clip ( pictured ). I can see that thing breaking really easily

It can. The clip comes off pretty easy if you know how it works.

Got the bulb swapped. I think I pulled something other than the bulb …lol
I did not attempt to remove the clip though…..no need to at the moment, but good to know for the future.
I did watch a Twist video showing how to remove the clip….looked easy until he said they switched to these plastic ones in 70/71 or so….I was about to go out and make the little tool he made for the earlier ones

Thanks for going to the trouble of taking/posting the pictures….worth a thousand words.
