Front turn light installation

[trident9440]

Hi everyone,
I just replaced the front turn light bulb, but found I could not put it back. There is only one screw, all the other parts are plastic. Seems the screw and does not match the plastic hole any more. Anyone has any idea? thanks!

HAHA!!! Thank god someone else has the same problem! You have to get at it from behind the fender, right? I haven't even gotten to replace the bulb yet -- I'm afraid I'll rip something out that won't go back!

I, too, would like to know the answer to this question.

There are 2 "pins" which slide into holes to hold the rear of the fitting. The front one is metal and sticks (ugh!) the rear one is platic and breaks (UGH!!!)

But putting it back is just a matter of getting those little buggers lined up with their sockets, and bingo! the (one) screw at the front will line up.

BTW, no - access is entirely fron the front.

My problem was getting the asembly OUT!

I have no problem to line them up, there are three "components" for this.
1. A black plastic back, with a hole.
2. A screw with one side is sharp
3. A white plastic holder to hold the screw, and it can be flip open.
I put them all together and line them up, everything looks fine but only seems the screw and the black back does not match each other anymore, although the screw is already in the hole of the black back.
Any ideas?

Doesn't sound the same as my '93. The bit about the "black plastic back" isn't familiar.
