Question Removing 62-66 GMC Marker Lights

Anyone know what holds these in?

Is it just the four small rivets?

The rivits hold the lense to housing and the housing has tabs from the backside that have to be depressed to release the light.

Re: Removing 62-66 GMC Marker Lights

go to http://www.6066gmcguy.org/ he has a good tech on how to pull them.. it is very difficult to do, if you have someone that can help, it would probably be easier with 2 guys (if you are worried about cracking a lens).
they are pretty much like a fish hook, easy in hard out

What is the trick for re-installing new lenses as far as securing lenses to housing? Are you guys using rivets again?

Thanks Kieth! I love you dash panel, what kind of paint did you use? I've been looking for one of those Bat-O-Meters for awhile. Can I ask you how you cut your dash panel to accept the Tach and the Bat-O-Meter? Thanks and beautiful truck!
