Hi guys I need some help in how to remove the rear tail light on a R33 skyline, I undid all the bolts ( I think) and I was trying to remove the plastic facere on the front but cant remove it.

As I have undid all the bolts the rear light should just full out right???

or do I have to remove the rear bumperand there might be some bolt under there to remove the taillight.

all this to drain out some water.........

HELP

yeah, as silverskyline said the centre skyline section is best removed! it has 4 nuts the can be removed from behind the boot latch, then it is push real hard (and even) to remove the light section which is held in with the black silicon (sikaflex) as used on windows. then only real way to get the water out would be to drain it out the clip for the indicator or reversing lights!!

be very hard to get the blinker section off, same issue with the front of the headights!!

then you'll have to clean up the light and body of the black silicon (takes a while) may need to get some from super cheap to replace this!! just make sure you dont get any on the body and light!!! will need thinners etc to clean this off, which is not good for your paint!!

good luck with it!!

nizmokid: dont hold me responsible should this not work or screw up yr lights in anyway...

just advice man and hv seen ppl do it work a treat too...

they took power drills...found the smallest f*ckin drill head on earth and just drilled a tiny little hole near the bottom. All water drained out, never had a flood inside again and never had the inside condense again..

yeah cause to get the face plate of the lights off you have to takwe the lights out as the screws are between the covewr and the body of the car!!

so yeah, remove the whole unit to remove that plate, but dont think it will get much easier to get the indicator plate off. good luck with it though

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
