Hey guys, this might sound like a very amateur question, but i believe my right blinker light (the one inside the dash, the arrow shaped one) The blinkers on the outside work and the right side blinks so Im pretty shore the blinker relay works. But my big question is can I replace the light without removing the dash, Its a 1970 non-SS dash and I tried lifiting the light housing but it wouldnt budge and I didnt feel like ripping it off. So If someone could give me some help it would be appreciated, thank you

If you've got good flexibility you can reach down from above or up from below and twist out the old bulb holder that's in the back of the housing. Pop in a new bulb then twist in the holder again.

Pretty simple except for the contortions.

Yes it is a block. It has a set of clips on either end that you can press together with a screw driver or something to pop it loose. look up under the dash, there is along rectangular block with the wires going into it. It does'nt have a twist off socket on the back as suggested above, you have to remove the block. It can be popped loose without removing any part of the dash, but it is a challenge to get to and to get it loose. I found it easier to remove the driver's seat so I had some room to work.

Isn't a 70 sweep dash like a 71? Row of lights along the bottom of the dash bezel with the 3 "blank" spaces hiding the screws.
