Part that is biggest PITA to R&R?

[Hojack]

That little bulb is such a piece of s***. I remember not being able to get my hands within easy reach of it and needing to try to balance it on end of screw driver to pop into the hole and then twist into place. Fell of so much I think I even tried to hot glue it onto screwdriver. I ended up just giving up and going without a bulb till I muster courage to try again.

Any advice/trick that made it finally work or just keep banging my head into wall till it happens?

I replaced mine with an LED from SuperBright

C-channels. So. Many. Rivets.

Why the hell they didnt box that portion, too...it's absurd.

I looked at that section, considered all the angles and aggravation; decided not to bother. Removing the spare tire carrier was abusive enough!

Mine is still good after 37 years. It's a Toyota right?
Thanks for making me dread the inevitable.

I figured out that there’s one corner that has to be done first. Then the other three screws go in like a breeze. I forget which one goes first. I believe there’s a corner that is “cut off” at a 45 degree angle while the other three have the full rounded corner. That angled one goes in first. Been a while since I installed mine.

I wish I could remember, thankfully my mind blanks out my traumas. . The first time had me pissed off! The second, I had my son (Moab bike mechanic) tackle it. When he started fretting, I came to his rescue and made it seem easy. I'm leaving the 60 to my daughter. Because I love them both.

A real mofo. I cut it every time now.

i wrapped the new LED bulb on end of a long screwdriver with some tape , to hold it in place and then i finally got lucky after like the 11th attempt

So, if I go to the bar, order a screwdriver with some tape, I might get lucky on my 11th attempt?
