I bought a pair of these bullshit philips blue lights for about $70, thinking they were going to be a fairly solid blue colour, only to notice they are just a white light like the narva lights :goddam: (good advertising philips ya wankers)

Anyway they came with a pair of tiny blue (or so it seems...) bulbs, im hoping these are a solid blue bulb that goes in the far edge of the headlight, as ive seen a few r33's getting around now with these tiny blue bulbs glowing in the corners.

My question little parker lights I got the pure blue colour ive seen around, and how the hell do I get to them? im assuming the headlight assembly has to come out because I cant find anyway to get into it from the engine bay

If thats the case whats the easiest way to get the headlights out and change the sucker, or will I only be wasting my time to find out they are white like the standard ones in there?

The dark little blue blubs included with the 'phillips blue vision' headlights actually light up white. I have these same blubs in my car. If you are after the parkers that are hardcore neon Blue, you will need to buy the blue replacement parkers from Autobarn, they are about $8.

To access the parkersyou do not need to take out the headlight, there is a little long rectangular fitting that twists into place, have a look on the side with the air filter, you will see wires and a fitting going in directly behind where the parkers are. The side with the air filter is easy to get to, however the other side is a pain in the arse! the water bottle blocks access, you will need sum1 with thin ass arms! otherwise remove the windscreen washer bottle.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
