Where To Buy/what To Do: Dash Lights, Towbar

[Stamps]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know where can I buy a replacement globe for the light in the climate control panel for my R33? It's the tiny little globe with a flat backed plastic retainer that you turn out with a screwdriver, it has the globes legs wrapped around it. As it's not a commodore or falcon part, Supercheap don't stock them, so does anyone know if a Nissan dealer would carry them or whether anywhere else sells them? I could always try converting the little plastic container to hold an LED but wouldn't mind just getting a replacement straight away.

Also, I'm going to need a towbar soon for towing a bike trailer, so what have you guys with R33 Coupe's done about towbars? I've read some of the technical forums, but I'm not sure if the 180/200sx ones will fit, or whether I should just get a custom one made up. Any help or hints there would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Do yrself a favour and buy a set of LED's from 666DAN... ive had a set of blue ones for 6 months and theyre great. Perfect excuse for some interior bling! (Search forums for dan's led's)

T-10 globes are too big, I've got a set of them here that I used in my old car.

My trusty digital verniers have just informed me that the actual globe size is the T-5 size, however it's not the regular T-5 wedge or blade shape that you get at Supercheap, these globes live in a little plastic insert (and no, it's not just a wedge/blade globe stuck in there) which looks to me like the one unit (until you break the wires and pull the globe out like I did >_>)

So they're a T-5 size, just not the standard connector. I'll check out that eBay store.

Any ideas about the towbar anyone?

[craig R33]

yeah, dont bother.

[Madaz]

go see a towbar specialist my understanding is R33's are only a half chasiss car and you will need proper purpose built stuff anyone confirm?

as for the ebay store you wont find the globes your after but i know he does the kit so just message him and tell him what your after
