take all the obvious bolts off, then there is a bracket right under the parker that is bolted to the chassis by one hex bolt. the bracket is secured to the headlight assembly by two phillips screws but i wouldnt advise undoing then as you will probably snap the plastic location pin so just leave it attached to the housing when taking out.

someone should do a sticky on this subject, as well as parker bulb replacement..lol

ah just re read your post. indicator clips in so take the plastic guards out from the wheel arch and pop it out from behind by squeezing the clips unitl it pops out. i dont remember any screws from memory, though there might be one, but i doubt it.

I just changed the indicators myself, you wont need to take the inner guard lining off. Using your finger tips, pull the indicator towards the front of the car. It will move a few millimeters, then pull it out towards you. It will pop out. Seriously, it only takes a few seconds to do. I was surprised myself.

As for the headlights, i've been searching for a good tute on how to remove them. I've heard that you need to remove the front bar to get to a bolt, but im yet to see pics.

you dont need to take the front bar off for the headlight. just like the indicator you can access that bracket bolt i was talking about by removing or bending the plastic wheel guards and taking to it with a wrench. its that one bolt underneith the parker that holds it to the chassis

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
