Hi NATO,
Wiped off the dust and fired up my '86 TC this weekend. Well, almpost fired up. Had to make a little visit to the parts guy for a new battery first. Then took my brother (he's on vacation) for a little ride out the four lane through the sugar cane fields (in PA it was corn, here it's cane). The Bird's packed back in the garage for now. I've attached a couple garage pics if you care to see:

Any hoot, did a walk around looking for lights out (ie. no yearly inslections down here) and found the driver's side fog lamp out. This lamp is one of the one's that has what looks like a little black batman cap or black cat emblem on the from of the glass lens. O the rear of the lamp assembly, says Made in France , Valeo , H255W [I think that means H2 55Watt, not sure though]). Here are some pics of the assembly:

I'm not sure if 1) I'm supposed to bend the cloth covered wire retainer's hooks, then pull off the wire retainer, and the bulb falls out the back, or 2) if whole rear assembly gets replaced.
Any ideas on how to do this repair and where to get the parts? As always, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bret
