drivers side parker light

[_turtle_]

my drivers side parker light has blown. doesnt look like theres much room there, is the only way to change it to remove the washer fluid bottle etc?

hey denny, i managed to change my drivers side parker without removing anything. i just jammed my hand into the small space you have to work with (hand got a little bit grazed) and fiddled around until i could undo the plug. my hands are fairly big so you should be able to manage it mate

hehe good idea mooks, i'll get the missus to do it. thanks for info guys. the passenger side is easy, theres plenty of room where the pod is. but the drivers side is very tight, got the coolant and all the other crap there.

will try use tweezers or something.

cheers

I had the opposite problem. My drivers side headlight blew so i thought I'd change em both. The drivers side was a piece of piss but on the passengers side I had to remove both of the pods. It was a c*** of a job. Mainly because I'm all thumbs when it comes to fiddly things.

ok guys, i've taken another look, i still can not even get close to fitting a hand there. also we're talking about the "PARKER" light, as in the little one. not the headlight, the headlight is simple. i've uploaded some pics, unless my car is different i don't see how u can fit ur hand there.

cheers

** damn, can't upload pics again. **

ok, now its working here are the pics

[strutto]

Why don't you just take the headlight out?

[(B1) MR_fanny]

denny ya mofo.....the drivers side is the easiest one of the two to get out ya fool. all u do is stick ur fingers in the HOLE PROVIDED and quarter turn to the left. lefty loosy righty tighty:D:D if u still cant do it and dont mind drivin down to springy ill do it for ya. oh and tweesers wont work either.

you dont need to take the headlight out....thats just overkill:D:D

[_turtle_]

lol, mooks man, did u look at the pics i took? is urs the same? i reckon i'm coming down to springy and you do it for me!!! these lil parker lights are bastards.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

exatly the same....unless the lights are different for turbos and n/a which i highly doubt.

tommy had the same problem, he didnt know how to do it so i just poped the bonnet up stuck my hand in and done!! all in under a minute:D:D

[_turtle_]

haha ok i must be a dumbass then. i'm still coming down to springy and letting you do it. will buzz ya next week or something.

cya

unbelievable, my whole drivers side lights are all gone. its not the globes either coz i replaced the headlight and it still doesn't turn on. the parker light, headlight, high beam is all out on my car. can't be a fuse else both sides would be out. plus i fiddled around with the fuses too and it didn't make any difference. now has anyone got any ideas as to which wire maybe loose or something? where its located?

thanks.

[chopobo]

yeah im having probs taking out my parkers out

so jus twist it left for both sides?

its weird

[_turtle_]

lol, i'm glad i'm not the only one having probs with it. i'm even worst now, all lights out on drivers side

[_turtle_]

ok fella's, all front lights are now working again except for the parker one which has a blown globe. headlamp and highbeam is back, if this ever happens to anyone else, try changing the fuse located in the boot. its a 20A fuse.

forgot about the fuses at the back, i played around with all the ones at the front and it didn't help.

cheers

Well I attempted this mission on the weekend, as well as radiator flush and coolant change, front strut brace innergaurd removal on drivers side due to being broken and flapping around...

Now the hardest part of the whole damn thing was the grill removal that took 20 minutes for me to work out how the fudge to remove it WITHOUT breaking it...

As I was cleaning the overflow tank for the radiator which required the removal of the washer reserviour and the movement of the power box thing out the way I decided to remove the headlight as well, piece of cake...no need for a jack either to remove innergaurd, now I can confirm that you can take apart most nissans with a 10mm spanner and socket, and a couple of screwdrivers...

Also I checked the bulb holder had a pile of crap around it and would not turn easily despite my vain attempts while still installed.

So now all nice clean coolant and a parker bulb that works!!!
