Corner Light Bulb Replacement

[All2kool]

How do you replace the ORANGE bulb in the front marker lights? I guess my question should be how to remove the corner marker?

Removal and Installation

1. Remove two nuts and one screw retaining cornering lamp to the front fender.
2. Pull cornering lamp away from front fender and remove socket and miniature bulb.
3. To install, reverse Removal procedure.


Have a look at this excerpt from the FSM >> here <<.

And where do locate these? I cannot access this bulb obviously while the corner lamp is still attached. I see only one screw at the corner lamp (on the outside) but need help locating the two nuts you describe. Thanks.

Hmm.. I found only one NUT not two.. I guess there might be some differences for 1996, or the FSM is whacked..

REMOVE ONE SCREW NEAR THE LINCOLN EMBLEM...

OPEN THE ACCESS COVER:

And for a moment I thought that is what you had one. Great help, thanks.

Well.. I DID go outside with the camera

You're very welcome friend. I don't stop in here very often like I used to, but you're in good hands here with Mike, Bryan and a few other regulars.

PS thanks again Bryan.. one teet didn't survive the trip but that won't make a difference.. only in my head

Could they have made any less room to remove that damn 7/16 nut or what?

I'm guessing it might be less cramped if the whole horn cover panel is removed, not just the access panel.. maybe?

The difficulty level was only present due to not being able to get much movement on the nut once you got a box wrench around it; a small box wrench at that. But it did come off easily by hand once broken free. Same when tightening, just a few difficult turns to secure. I don't think removal of any more plastic panels would have helped.
