Hi,
The pilot lights mounted on top of the wing how do you change the bulbs? Are they a bayonet fitting? What I thought would be a five minute job is taking a lot longer.
Thanks

Yes.
However, if the base of the bulb has got damp it may have rusted into the holder - a not uncommon problem!
Good luck,

The bulb is very "far in" , so you need very thin fingers, or as I did, a "special tool" . I took some thin long flat nose pliers and wrapped some rubber band around them, to be able to "grab" the bulb and turn it. I broke the old one, and two new ones, before I had the right feeling. Good luck
