What I did do, was try to straighten out the fixture at the ends and the
chrome so that they would be the right width (normal wide instead of
compressed) to accept a lense without putting pressure on it. I turned
thefixture 180 degrees clockwise to get the signal light on the proper side.
Maybe counter-clockwise would have been better.
( I also had the headlight on the same side loosened to put in a little
piece where the chrome ring retaining screw screws into.)
If I were a responsible being, I would be doing the brakes on the wagon
instead of playing with the Sprite.
