Turn Signal/Passing Lamp problem

[Bluesman]

I'm in the middle of installing my factory passing lamp mount and ran into a snag. I've just attached the passing lamps themselves to the mount and now I'm in the process of attaching the turn signals, problem is, I can't make the connection because of the rubber sleeve. Is this supposed to be removed before installation? Or is there a way to wrestle it on properly? (took a lot of twisting and pulling to remove the signals from the original bar in the first place)

WD-40 makes it a little easier to work with, to side in and out.

 

Good luck.

I’m not sure how it works for the front but when I installed the run/break conversion kit into the rear turn lights I ran in a similar problem. I had a hard time to get the bulb socket with the rubber sleeve back into place. After applying a thin film of dielectric grease to both sides I was able to work it in... perhaps that might help

Silcone sprayed on the rubber helps as well.
