Was a time working under the dash didn’t require a masters degree in bulb replacement

Bingo! You're right, it slides into a bracket at the bottom of the window roller track. I could only see it with the window half way down. Thanks, you guys are great!

LEDs are nice but our cars have some bulbs that illuminate opposite polarity at different times. Since an LED is a Diode current can only flow one directionand things get weird.

I've had my share of backfeed weirdness from changing them out. Right now I just discovered that my front marker lights are coming on when I hit the brakes, and the left turn signal stops flashing also when I hit the brakes. I did the ones in the cluster, and all the backlights were fine but when I did the warning lamps they were on at a low glow when the headlights and markers were on. Had to go back to incandescents for all the warning indicators but kept the CHECK GAGES, turn signals, low fuel warning and HI beams as LED. I'll still have to undo some more, because something in the brake circuit is backfeeding. I would check everything in the dark, preferably with a helper while you hit the brakes, before you put it all back together and call it good. I also found out the hard way that replacing the CHMSL bulbs will freak out the ABS computer.

That's very weird as I've had 2 defective parts over the years and they took it back without issue. Electrical parts they wont touch for obvious reasons but mechanical should be no problem. I've spent over 2k with them fixing 4 different vehicles and they've been great every time.
