Title: D*%*# lights Post by: FORDSBS on December 16, 2010, 11:50:18 PM I got around to putting new deck lights in my 9 line Cleo. I pulled the switches out and the bulbs were that tight I broke all but one
getting them out. When I saw they were tight I sprayed them w/cleaner & they would not loosen up. This is the first one that I worked on that the bulbs were like that.

I've found that putting the entire assembly into a ziplock bag and then breaking the bulb from the outside of the bag works best for keeping the glass from getting everywhere.
