    Interior lamp-bulb replacement...

    When replacing a bulb in the 3 way interior lamps above the doors, can the assembly simply be popped out with a screwdriver or is it more complicated? Thanks for the info- I don't want to get too creative and start prying things open that shouldn't be tinkered with!

    Thanks,
    MT

    Also, any technical manuals/books you guys can recommend?

    Kahleid,

    The interior lamp is held in with a spring clip. They come out with the help of a careful application of a flat screwdriver. One end is better to pry on than the other but I can not remember which end until I go home tonight and look at the one I have out.

    As Moe once said to Curley:

    Oh, a tough guy are you?

    Moe: "Hand me that vice!"

    Curley: "Vices? I have no vices. I'm as pure as the drifting snow."

    I receive such pleasure from pulling those interior lamps with my fingernails, it must be a vice.

    Really though, they are fairly east to pull out.

    Or as Curley said to Moe: "I don't Think. I know!!"

    Moe: "I don't think you know either"

    Isn't there a spring clip on one end? As I remember the switch end?
