1946 Mercury Courtesy Lights Cover Fitment.
[/ATTACH]430604
So I removed covers for changing 6v to 12v. The backside is attached to pillar frame by 2 screws. The cover has the lens secured by 3 tabs. Do these tabs fit into the frame containing the lamp? The replacemet lamp slightly different profile to original. When I removed the covers they were very firm and secure. Assistance for refitting and secure fitment appreciated. As cant seem to now get a good fit. Phil NZ Last edited by Phil Gillespie; 05-15-2020 at 06:06 PM. Reason: add |

Sounds like the bulbs may be too big.

Re: 1946 Mercury Courtesy Lights Cover Fitment.
Phil it should fit no problem. Ensure that when you put the chrome bezel back on to the bulb holder that you bend the tabs back in the right place so that they fit in the cut outs for the piece that secures to the pillar by the 2 screws. I presume you are using the same two securing screws that you took out when you removed the unit ? If you are using new ones too big a head will not allow the bulb holder to press home all the way on the part that goes in the pillar.

So just to adjust tabs to secure bulb as you point out. Thinking about it now it has to be that way especially with the one that has the switch included. Thanks. Phil NZ. |
