1937 Dictator Headlights

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

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.

Some do not even have a screw.

Push on the lens and it will swivel in and rotate the lens so you can grab it by the edge.

Be very careful and have something soft to catch the lens,because it will get away from you.

The lenses are expensive !!!
