How do I change the turn signal bulbs for a 1972 Ford LTD. I assume I can't
reach behind the dashboard, so do I need to unscrew the instrument panel
from the front.
Thank you

Tom,
Thank you, it was easier than I thought. I just had to remove dashboard
cover/trim and then I was able to reach behind speedometer unit and twist
out the bulb assembly and replace the bulbs. Everything works. I did run
into a problem with fixing the gear unit of the tailgate window motor. They
(dealer) gave me the wrong gear assembly and when they checked again with
the books, found out they don't build that assembly anymore. But there is
one more in Texas that is on the way.

Thank you,
