crash321 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Check out autozone for a replacement bulb holder they should have somthing you can wire in (Autozone still open in caro?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Txakura Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 my left one needed two screws, but it works better than a glue because you just loosen the screw to change the bulb - and it doesn't need to be tight enough to strip out the screw hole in the plastic, be gentle, it just traps the socket in the hole and keeps it from rattling around and burning out the bulb prematurely really glad I had a useful idea (for once) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply taped it to the body, but screw is definitely a much better thing. Thanks, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
