You need to replace just the bulb, or the entire indicator assembly? |

I had to take the indicator assy. out of the housing to replace the bulbs (2). I actually removed the housing also. Just be gentle with the rubber grommets. Try using a little silicone spray. Good luck. |

Many thanks Bert you answered my question, I just wasn't sure if you had to pull the rubber grommets out or not, as when I tried it didn't want to budge, I will use a bit more "gentle persuasion" when I have another go at pulling the grommet out on the weekend. |

I just did that. There was an older posting about it that suggested pushing a rubber hose into the housing to grab the bulb and pull it out. Works like a charm. No need to remove the grommet. Now all I need is to find the stupid bulb. |

Hey I got a few from the local dealer. Wow talk about expensive bulbs. 3 to 4 bucks apiece. Well I won't need any more for awhile because I bought a bunch. |
