Guest TomB Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 At the risk of sounding totally inept, does anyone know how to change headlamp bulbs on a '37 Dictator Sedan? I find no screws, clips, or fasteners of any kind, and I don't want to force or break anything, especially the headlight lenses.Thank you,TomB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMB Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There should be a screw at the bottom. Once it is loosened you just push the lens in and down at the bottom. The top will tilt out and you can pull it out. It is held in place with 3 springs which are compressed to remove the lens.You might want to invest in a Service Manual.
