Hello,

As you can see I have some moisture inside the Driving Lamp on a R33 Series 2... does anyone have some advice on how to remove the Lamp?

Do I have to remove the Bumper or does the shroud clip off from the front?

Any advice appreciated... don't want to break anything.

The cover comes off with 2 bolts from memory then the light assembly comes off with another two. Pretty straight forward if you look at the back of it.....

Then I'm not sure if you want to take the lense apart or just try and wash it without the bulb etc in it. Some rag and a screwdriver along with either car wash or maybe contact cleaner might fix it up easily. Otherwise its probably an oven job to sperate the lense. Not sure on how to do it to be honest

Ive had them apart, not the easiest ones to separate and its kinda messy to do...id suggest trying to clean them out first and then find where the moisture is getting in and seal it...

Thank you Gentleman... much appreciated, I will try to do the best without pulling the lens off the light.

So are the bolts to the shroud behind the bumper, via the wheel arches I presume?

I can't see anything obvious from the front or underneath, on how to get the light shrouds off. I thought perhaps the light shrouds clipped off from the front.

Remove the whole light by undoing a couple of bolts in behind the bumper.

The front shroud / cover can then be removed and yeah the rag and screwdriver in through the bulb hole or even a hairdryer is great for drying the inside.

Look at the back. I told you in the first reply. They are very straight forward to pull apart

Sorry I misread your first reply... I didnt see the words at the back of it.

All good cheers.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
