Turn Signal Attachment

Post by 67GMC »

This might sound like an odd question but: How do the turn signals stay attached to the Jeep? Mine were siliconed in. I cut them off and now I have new units I want to put on. Of course, nothing seems to be there to hold them in place. I can re-silicone but not sure what the stock attachment is.

Thanks!

When you take the lens off, there should be screws that go through the light bucket into strategically placed tabs on the body. Somebody with the same type taillights as yours could maybe post a picture.

for the front, yhe screws are only holding the yellow Lense to the housing and the housing is being held by plastic tabs which unfortunately are often broken when they are removed the first time and then of course you have to use silicone to hold the housing inside the body opening

Yep-No tabs left for me for the front signals. I guess that was why the PO used the silicone. Thanks for the replies.

Great-Also, the turn signals received were wired incorrectly (at least for my Jeep). Wasn't hard to fix. I just pulled the blade connectors out and swapped them but it took me awhile to figure it out!!.
