It's a friction clip, just pops out. I had the same trouble, but i also had to remove my eyelids to get it off. same as the rear lights, they feel like they're going to break off, but it's just a really tight clip

Once it is loose you should be able to get a screw driver in the gap behind the parker light, use a torch as well and try and leaver it off a bit, getting as close to the clip as you can, after a lot off pulling and leavering it should just pop off, feels like its going to break, and then you'll say OH it was just that little dam clip. :hellpisd:

do the headlights need to come out, too get the parker globes?

Nope, just undo the philips head screw that holds the parker assembly onto the top of the headlight assembly. Then pull the parker assembly straight forward by slipping a couple of fingers behind it. It is very tight, just make sure you pull it straight, not up or down or outwards.

:wub: cheers :wub:

My parkers are blue in colour and when I was at a petrol station earlier this week, a cop mentioned that I should change them. I think it's better to be safe than sorry rather than risk a defect.

Tried to get my parkers off last night, and again tonight after having read this thread. I tried pulling them out with a bit of force after undoing the Phillips head screws, but thought I'd better check with those who've already done it before I break them.

Do I pull them forward towards (but away from, if that makes sense?) the front of the car, and can anyone please post a pic of where the clip is and where I should put a screwdriver to lever it off (without scratching the paint)? Is the clip behind or below the parker?

Thanks in advance...

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
