How Do You Change An R34 Tail Light Globe?

[Ash]

Hi Guys,

The Inside left (Red part, not indicator) light is out. How do i change it?

I removed the carpet stuff in the boot and it didn't look at all like my R33 did. It looks like i need to take the whole tail light part out?

Also, what type of globe do I use? I was just going to take it out and show the guy at the local servo and see if he could get me a new one (I know it’s a standard type, just not the name).

If you have pictures too that would be awesome!

Thanks in advance,

Ash.

there are 3 screws i think... that u gotta remove from the inside of boot.. behind those covers..

then the whole light will pop out from the outside..

hope it makes sense..

Hi,

Thanks for your Help.

You're Right, I opened up the carpet and there were 4 10mm nuts. I undid those and the entire light assembly came out.

From there it was really easy to change the globes.

I took a quick photo with my phone (sorry for quality) for anyone who wants to know in the future.

I also found an old Jap razor blade in there.

thankyou ash, great help! i dont have a user manual yet, had a quick look last night in dark and noticed the whole bootis lined so i gotta get that out, now knowing whats next is a great help. What globes were they? normal ones???

oh and ask a silly question before i do it, is there an easy way to release the trim clips???

the globes are T-5 wedge globes.

edit. it could also be a T-10 i forgot lol, pretty sure it was a T-5 though.

Cheers mate. All was good i fixed it that arvo. The trim clips were easy with small screwy to lift the centre out a bit then pull the whole clip out. The stop tails had gone on 3 out of 4 so i replaced all 4. The 4th was on its way too so i suspect it was just an age thing.

For anyone wondering with the r34 gtt 4 door, it doesnt require you to take the light off as the globes are all easy removal once you peel the carpet back. See pics. Oh and fyi, the globes were $12.50 per pair at autobarn.

Never expected to remove the whole assembly just to get to the tail light.

@syln

are the reverse and rear indicators the same bulb as tail lights for the r34 sedan?
