Chris`I Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 This how to explains how to get to the rear indicators so that you can change them for much nicer looking silver alternatives Required tools - Small flat head screw driver - 10mm socket - Tissue(s) - 2x T20 silver bulbs (Here from JDM Performance) Repeat the same for both sides. 1. Remove the 3 dust caps on the headlight with the small flat head screwdriver and remove the 3 bolts that they uncover with a 10mm socket. 2. Starting at the rear of the light, pull it away from the body. The first of the two clips holding the light in place will pop. Next work your way towards the front of the car and pull the headlght out and back to pop the second clip. Clip locations highlighted below. Place the headlight in the boot, no need to unclip the cable. 3. Remove the current indicator bulb by twisting the housing of the bulb. Pop out the current bulb and put in the new one. Do not touch the new bulb with bare hands, use a tissue to ensure no greasy finger prints are left on the silver finish. 4. Refit the bulb holder and test the light. 5. Refit the tail light by first placing the front of the 2 clips in place and then swing the unit towards the back of the car and pop the second of the clips in. Replace the bolds and dust caps and you're done Before: After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thought and I think you would have to remove the bumper. Wouldnt have thought it was a massive job, just effort getting the light unit and a bulb in the right fitting that is silver and lights up red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 I beleive the JDM lenses are clear, but are changed to have a fog lamp as part of the SVA changes. JDM Performance do chrome ones for £75 (I presume each?) http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... =449006818 or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-06-Ni ... enameZWDVW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
