Wing indicator was created by jimnyonhigh

Hi guys
My wing indicator orange case has come away leaving the bulb exposed in the white casing. Does anybody have an idea how to remove the indicator unit away from the wing as one of the clips has come away which made the orange case fly away during a play day weekend.
Be grateful for any help, looks easy but I don't want to do any damage.

Thanks

put an orange buld in it (501a) if you want to remove the unit take the inner wing cover off and push it out from behine after you squees the clips together

Hi thank you for the reply, one of the clips had broken so I assume the orange case had flown away or got knocked during a outing. Is removing the wing a simple job ? I ordered the hole unit as otherwise the orange cover would just fly away again unless I glued it on.

The part that attaches to the orange lens (with the broken clip) unclips from the connector with the wiring going into it. Toremove the inner plastic wing guards just prise out the round plastic clip centres then the whole clip will come out, I believe there are also some small screws/bolts, all quite straightforward and easy to see.

Also the orange lens cover just pushes and clips onto the grey base unit (thats the part with the side clips on).

Cheers guys ill have a look when I get the unit sent to me, at first I thought somebody robbed the orange case but on close inspection I think one of the clips on the grey unit behind where the orange case should go had been broken away obviously flinging the cover away.
Cheers for your replies, amazing a simple job can come across so daunting. Used to more serious jobs!

Thanks again
