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)

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
