MickJ Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Was going to change the front sidelight bulbs for something a little better and have just looked up in my 350z manual what is involved, have I read it right that you have to remove the wheelarch liners to access the back of the headlights or is there an easier way?

Jacko Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Was going to change the front sidelight bulbs for something a little better and have just looked up in my 350z manual what is involved, have I read it right that you have to remove the wheelarch liners to access the back of the headlights or is there an easier way? Mick, I can't remember about the sidleflight bulbs, but I knwo when I replaced the indicators, you can do without removing anything with some time, effort and patience! But I just undid the bolt at the back of the headlight, holding it in..... (you see when you open bonnet)...... then did it that way as gave a bit of play.... So assuming it would be same, but someone will confirm I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickJ Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks for that Jacko, I did look under the bonnet and saw the bolt you refer to and as you say it looks possible to fiddle round with it from there. Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 sidelights you can't do from above like you can with the indicator bulbs. It as it says in the manual i'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 be careful when withdrawing the bulb also., I dislodged my winker bulb when removing it,and it ended up lose inside the headlight unit , and ended up taking out the headlight unit complete to shake out the bulb.. wich involved removing bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dunk Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I replaced my sidelights with nice white LED's. Look the business, but did have to go through the wheel arch to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 one of my LEDs has failed, I got these at least 2 years ago, a cluster of 5 leds on every lamp, very nice and bright (blueish tinge same as the xenons, very nice) are they the same as yours? I need to buy a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
