Many not as easy jobs as a basic light bulb change to 3083 sounds like ... But I'm unable to get this done. It should be installed by pressing it down lightly and turn the light bulb to get those tabs to hold it with loco frame. Firstly there is not enough room to do it as there is that clear plastic light diffusor in the way. When I tried to use a tool on top of the light bulb and press it lightly and to be able to turn it when it is pressed down I broke the last spare light bulb I have. I would be glad if someone of you tells me how to do this basic light bulb change without being a magician? It really feels like you should be one to do it really.

But I have to buy a new light bulb first or take one from another loco to get it replaced. As I bought led lights and light sockels some time ago I can maybe take a light bulb from one of the digitalising candidates... Janne
