Default Clear Blinker Installation

Could anyone tell me the procedure to remove and replace the amber side panel blinker with a clear blinker. Do you just wedge it out with a flat blade screwdriver? I'm worried about tearing up the paint finish. thanks.

Default Homeboy - I can tell you how to do it

Go to Home Depot and buy plastic paint spatula thingy (the thing you would use to spakle a wall), about $2.

Then put that against the light, from the forward end pushing back, get it under the light edge. Then either use a screwdriver on top of that to pop the light out and just use some force and the lense will break off, and it will become useless.

It could go from back to front, but I think it goes from front to back.

The OEM light bulbs are white, so if you got clear corner markers, you might want to get some yellow bulbs.

Default A little more info

The first time you're in there digging around in the blind it's a little intimidating. What you're pushing back is a small barbed piece of the plastic housing the snaps behind the edge of the hole when the light is installed. Your new lights should have a similar tab(?)

I wonder if anyone has tried the LED 194 bulbs in these.

Good luck!
