Had a go at changing one of the round indicator lenses on the front of my 33 series II, I have got the whole indicator/foggie assembly out, and at the point where Im trying to unclip the lense. I can clearly see how these clip on but it seems as through they are so tight, that I cant get them off without doing damage.

Has anyone done this before? Is there some sort of silicone in between holding them on as well as the clips? Any ideas?

If they are anything like the headlight globes they should just kinda push in (the wire clip) and they kinda twist to the side but i am not completely sure as i have only changed the headlights. Just outta interest how did you get the indicator / fog surround out? i have a hybrid fmic so dont know if that is in the way for me.

are you trying change them to clear lense indicator?

If they anything like the headlights..

To get the headlight plastic cover off, it has to be baked in an oven to loosen the glue that holds it to the black backing having looked at mine a fair while ago I guessed that they would be the same, put up some pics if you succeed.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
