The parking lights bolts often break. I might help to remove the filler between
the grill and radiator and reach from behind. My memory fails me too often, but
I
think I put in the lights from the back. Do remember they were impossible to get
in one way and slid right in another. Don't worry about wires breaking off at
the
sockets if you are putting turn signals in you will need new dual filament
sockets anyhow.
The wire harness crosses over the top of the radiator support, on the front
side held by metal strap type retainers.
I've had sick sounding horns when I ran 12 volts to them. I have made
improvements by taking apart and making adjustments on the length of the throw
of
the vibrating part. You have nothing to lose.
