69 Cutlass Convert Question

Hi all,

Recently picked up a 69 Convert, the courtesy lights are in the arm rests of the back seat. They do not have set screws, my question is do you have to take the arm rests off to replace the lights, or do these lights pull free with some gentle persuasion?

Thanks,
John

There are two tabs which hold the plastic lens cover in place. Gently squeeze in the top and bottom of the cover or use a small screwdriver to release tabs. Be gentle as to not crack the brittle plastic

Please don't ask how I know the "Be gentle" part.

Welcome!

If you are unfortunate enough to break the lenses, they are reproduced.

Make sure the replacement bulbs you get have the correct number of prongs on the bulb base. Don't take the word of the parts store.
