Dash Light Bulb Changeout

[eicke]

So simple yet so complex! How do you change out the bulb in a Model A Dashlight?

Twist and pull the cover off. There's a groove that lines up with a bump on the cover letting it pull off easily. Worst case force it off, won't damage it, really.

Put a diode bulb in the light instead on an incandescent bulb.

Not sure, but maybe others can confirm:

G6/BA15S is the key for sizing. I'd get the warm white 3000K; 6000k is too bright white for me.
And yes, looks like the right one.
