Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

First, I DID do a search, and while there are lots of comments about need for change, I didn't see much about install.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

First, I DID do a search, and while there are lots of comments about need for change, I didn't see much about install. I hope the Monitors will allow this to stay in the "Chat' forum for a short while, before it is properly moved. After several comments about my posted pics of new Meteor ("Get Clear Markers"!), I called sponsor Eric at Bumperplugs, and he couldn't have been nicer. Units arrived next day (We're in same state). The "Book" tells you about pushing in the tab on the back to remove unit. (Read it there). I'd just add that you have first to feel for the tab inside, and it helps to "jiggle" the assembly, to feel the movement on your screwdriver. Now, here comes the part that might be helpful to other Non-techs- instead of breaking down the socket assembly, I left it intact, and exchanged the bulbs (clear for amber). You'll see that the whole socket and bulb comes out of the assembly by rotating it about 45 degrees. re installing the exchanged assembly (with amber bulb) is a snap. Hope this'll help another, since it seems that many of us switch out the side market assembly....

POST 2Original post

RussK has an article with pictures about how to do this. http://www.planet-9.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=5&cat=3 I'm not sure why the search function didn't turn it up but the new "search tool" seems a bit crippled. I'd encourage you to rethink the clear bulbs. They are very annoying to other drivers if they are the kind that flash WHITE. Those are a real no-no.

POST 3Original post

Santa Fe, I may not have made it clear- I used the "new" amber bulb, with the old socket, and new clear lens... Misleading on the pics, IMHO, is Don't try to pull off the assemblies w/o pushing first the tab through the fender. You could reverse the bend of the tab, and "never get it off"....

Thanks. I was mistaken. Your technique does work well.
