Dash lights

H22A4 said
I had to replace a windshield washer linkage rod bushing and in hindsight I should have removed the front seat. I clearly didn’t learn much from that and when installing a front speaker in the dash, it would have made it easier taking the front seat out then too. Only reason I can think of why I didn’t do it was removing the front bench turns it into a two person job on both ends of the project.

Sometimes the seat mounting hardware is so rusted that the studs snap off. Thus another repair needed. All of these service procedures are in factory service manuals. None of them state "remove front seat".

Thanks for the reply. Wish I would have thought to do this job when I had the steering column out when I rebuilt it and the coupler. It's raining, cold and windy today in Kansas City, so it may be the perfect time to work in the garage and tackle this job. The led MOD looks great, but my car is a 33K mile original, and I want to keep it as stock as I can. Thanks again!

There isn't a major mod required to replace the 4 incandescent bulbs for illumination with LEDs. The correct LED bulb fits the same original sockets. They will be brighter than OEM and live many years longer. Good luck with it.
