im tryin to do the same thing, what was the trick?

I believe you simply wrap a flat head screw driver in some a rag and just press on the edge closest to the centre of the car, gently pushing outwards and it should just pop out, or it could be from the outside edge toward the centre of the car, one of the 2, give it a go

Yeah, I had trouble undoing mine when I took the front bar off, since I wasn't changing the indicators, I just unplugged them from the back.

But I heard they need a bit of force to get them out

IMO best way is to reach in behind. You will feel the two steel clips that hold them in place. Simply squeeze, and push forward. I used a butterknife, but found this a bad way to do it, and resorted to my hands. No tools required

Once you get it down pat, you will be glad to know not everyone knows how simple it is... otherwise im sure the nismo clear ones I put in wouldnt have last long around down

yeah I was afraid of scratching. easy as shit way to get them out is as follows.

1. jack up the side of the indicator your taking out to make access easier if your cars lowered.

2.undo the plastic underpanel.

3. reach up behind the bar and unplug the indicators.

4. feel for the steel clips that hold the indicators in place.

5. squeeze them and push forward.

no paint scratches.

no frustration.

easiest way imo.

It took me 10 sec to do it this way. I just made sure that head of the screwdriver was pressed against the side of the indicator with my other hand and NOT levered against the bar at all.

I just stick my arm up one of the front vents (love the GTR bar) and squeeze the clips with my fingers.. Just remember to undo the globe or u feel like an idiot afterwards when it gets stuck as u pull it out haha

This is exactly how you described your night out with your G/F!!!!! You didn't have the two mixed up did you David????

Anyone know how to do this with the stock series 1 front bar? The right side was easy, but I can't reach behind on the left side cos of the oil cooler vent D:

I tried using the screwdriver but it's not popping out. It's f**king shitting me!

The front indicator lugs are at the sides (not top or bottom), and they can collect dirt. I'd spray some 'Tar 'n Bug' Remover to loosen any gunk around those lugs > try with the screwdriver again as above.

The driver's side indicator is removed with a screwdriver too. You stand next to the driver's door and use the flat head screwdriver at the edge of the indicator and push towards the front. It's springy and it'll pop out.

The passenger side indicator is removed by standing next to your front wheel. Use the screwdriver on the edge of the indicator and push it towards the rear.

Hope this helps...

No, you'll scratch the paint that way. You push against the hard plastic lens edge.

You wouldn't want to damage the rubber gasket seal lest you let water condensation get in later on.

righto, i'll give that a try later, why do they make it so difficult i got some smoked indicators off ebay, look pretty good, cant wait to get them in but the seller forgot to ship with the side indicator bulbs.. would you happen to know what size they are and roughly how much? (if theyre cheap i'll just get some locally)
