Kustom switch bulbs

[drewl]

hey, anybody ever replace the bulbs in the funky power and ground switches
on the Kustom Tuck and Roll amps?

I know I did before but I can't remember how the switches come apart or how the bulbs come out.

They use GE335 bulbs with a screw base. The blue lens cap pulls off or pushes out and the bulb screws into a socket underneath. Be very careful when working on these, as the black plastic body will break away from the threaded mounting section making the switch nearly worthless.

I use a piece of rubber tubing to remove and replace these and any other bulbs for that matter. It just makes grabbing them easier.

Thanks, couldn't remember if they screwed out or not, they didn't want to turn ( I was CAREFULLY trying to turn with needlenose) after popping the blue cover off.

A *glass* bulb?
As in "I was "carefully" stepping on that landmine .... real slow ?"
