How To Interior/Exterior ::Halogen headlights - remove orange indicator lenses
I really didn't want to do that, but was gearing up for it when I saw how you did it.
It took me 20 minutes because one lens flipped over when it popped out and then couldn't fit through the bottom of the assembly. I spent about 10 minutes trying to flip it over and was resigned to removing the assembly to get it out when it finally flipped and fell through the bottom.
There was no damage to the amber lens covers or the assembly.
Little Wing looks sooo much better now!
" on mine with a little jiggle to get the old lens out.
dear @jpmcc00 ,
I am SO thankfull that your post (and all the infos/photos provided by you) came to my way.
The difference is HUGE an it feels like getting rid of a pimple in the face !
The PERFECT bulb to fit , after the orange lens delete , is of the exact type P21W BA15S (12V 21W)
It is colorless and chromed , but turns orange when lit.
Don't buy the py21w , they dont fit because the pins are not the same.
Thanks again, and all the people posted here !!!!
