Hey all,
I have Noticed there are no easy/pictured guides to follow when it comes to removing GT-R R33 HEADLIGHTS. I only removed the Passenger side but the whole idea will be the same for the drivers side but will vary in some ways.
*** PLEASE NOTE PEOPLE USING OIL COOLERS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE INNER GUARD LINING IN THE WHEEL ARCH TO LOCATE LOWER SCREWS ***
TOOLS NEEDED: Torch/Light, Screwdriver's, 10mm spanner, 10mm Elbow Spanner, rachet + 10mm and 8mm + Extension
STEP 1: Removing the Grill
Remove all 5 Clips located on grill and pull towards you to remove the grill (Pictured)
**Be carefull not to break the clips**
STEP 2: Remove The Two plugs that connect to the rear of the light.(Pictured)
STEP 3: Remove the three visible (10mm) Screws that are attached to the headlight. (Pictured)
STEP 4: Remove Lower indicator and then remove the plug for it (Pictured)
STEP 5: Removing the last screws holding the light in.
Using the Gap When the indicator is removed (step 4) you will need to reach up through there to access these screws.
There are two ways to remove them.
***My light was not going back in so i removed the light with the bracket***
THE TWO OPTIONS ARE:
OPTION 1: Removing light with bracket:
TOOLS: 10mm spanner & 10mm Elbow spanner
Locate the Two (10mm) Screws (Red Circles) and remove them. Its a bit of a hassle to do but once both are removed the light can come out.
***Be carefull not to break the white plastic clip/spacer***
OPTION 2: Removing light without bracket.
TOOLS: 8mm Rachet & extension.
Locate the Two (8mm) screws (Blue Circles) and remove them. This will leave the bracket connected to the car.
Doing it this way will be easier to put the light back.
ALL DONE:
