CHML stop/cargo light bulb swap-out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does it NOT suck to have to change these bulbs?????

I took the whole ass'y loose and in the house just to get the bulbs out. A little dust on the bulbs and no grip with my big fingers makes it difficult.

With the whole enchilada in your hands, get a PLASTIC spoon (like Dairy Queen/Baskin-Robbins) and use the end of the spoon to push the bulbs out of their sockets from the BOTTOM of the assembly. Sure makes it easier and less frustrating.

Hope this helps, in case you have one or more bulbs burnt out.

Oh, just go ahead and change all of them and forget it for a while. My '96 uses 912's for the cargo light and 921LL's for the stop light. LL stands for Long Life.
