Re: [Chrysler300] 1962 Turn Signal bulbs

[Mark Lindahl <mplindahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jerry,
 
I had the same problem with my '63 300 and I did two things.
1)  I ground one of the small posts down slightly, and then it fit.
2)  I may have also changed the lamp housing.
 
This was a problem for a few months, so I think I finally did both and got it to work.
I think one of the small posts was in the correct position and was the correct length, but the other one was a bit off.
 
You may want to check the bulbs.  AutoZone and Advanced Auto has products made in China and those bulbs may be slightly incorrect.  If you have some old bulbs, see if they fit or check the dimensions.
 
For sure, it was a tight fit.  Let us know what works for you.
 
300ly,

Brothers, I had a front turn signal burn out in my 1962 300 Sport Coupe. Checked our website and it called for a 1034 bulb which is what I took out. I have purchased a set of 1034 bulbs from both Autozone and Advanced Automotive, " I CAN"T GET THEN IN". First off, YES I KNOW THAT THE BULBS POINTS ARE OFF SET". The contact points at the bottom of the socket are losse and free. Almost pristine. I tried both sides and no way can I get them to "turn" at the bottom.

Any suggestions.
