Maybe a newbie question but a search didn't turn up anything useful:

How do you change the oarking light globe? I had a dig around and it looks as though I either have to pull off the whole front bar or pull out the plastic guard liner just to get at the globe holder? Is there an easier way?

short answer. No. :D

I did it through the wheel arch and removed the liners.

I think you could also do it by removing the airbox on the passanger side and the removing the washer bottle on the drivers.

Oh, and make sure your hands are flexible..... Good luck

Cheers

i did a whole HID conversion without removing the front bar or wheel liners :D

yes i have flexible hands. and i remove the airbox/afm and moved the overflow bottle

seriously?! I don't even have the airbox and i reckon i'd struggle toget my fingers in there.

Just pop out those plastic fasteners towards the front of the wheel arch and unscrew the screw that is at about 9-10 o'clock (if looking at the wheel arch as a clock face).

Pull the arch liner away enough to get your hand in there.

Feel around for the parker connector (helps to look for it first to get a general idea), turn anti-clockwise and pull out.

Chuck in your LED with wedge connection (T10?), do everything up.

Should take ~10mins all up.

wish i had seen this post earlier today! I f@*#ed around for 1/2 hour this arvo, pulled the plastic fastener out, spent fruitless minutes trying to feel/get to the parker, failed.

pulled the bolt off the headlight assembly, couldn't remove it, tried to get my hand in, failed.

went back to liner, turned wheel full lock to get it out of the way, thought I could feel the light (hadn't removed said screw cause didn't know it F@*$ing existed), turned, failed.

Gave up, went inside to have a drink! :ninja:

Well that was fun... not.....

LED lights now installed and looking closer in colour to the HID headlamps... Took about 30 minutes to do both, but have removed skin on both hands...

but if the bulbs blow, they ain't coming out...

This is not a job for 6'4" people with large hands...

I found the easiest way to the back of the light unit is to use an hacksaw blade and cut away the f/glass moulding which blocks you getting your hand down to the lights. It doesn,t destoy the structural integretity of the moulding and certainly stops a lot of swearing, just saw between the excisting holes and clean up the edges with a file, makes life oh so easy.

enough time has passed so I might try again. I'll happily take a hacksaw to the b%$*dard.

Are you sure you don't want to leave it for another 7 months? :P

No real need for hacksaws mate (a bit dramatic IMO :down: )

It helps to look in fro the top but to reach in from the side (if your arms are long enough)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
