Hello All
I don't like the looks of the ditchlights on my SD60i and want to replace them with LED's. What is the best way to remove the existing micro bulbs?
Hopefully someone has.
I don't have an SD60 (with working ditchlights) or an SD70 for that matter, but I have looked at them many times before. If I were you, I would be VERY careful removing them! If you have a pin vise I would remove the shell (easier to work with) file the wires back through the pilot (or where ever they exit the shell from) and then when the wires are free, take said pin vise with a very small bit, carefully drill out the existing bulbs (they will probably break so be careful!) pull what is left free and then use the drill to finish cleaning out the hole. After that, wire your LEDs using the route you used to remove them. Hope that helps alittle!
