Had a go at changing one of the round indicator lenses on the front of my 33 series II, I have got the whole indicator/foggie assembly out, and at the point where Im trying to unclip the lense. I can clearly see how these clip on but it seems as through they are so tight, that I cant get them off without doing damage.

Has anyone done this before? Is there some sort of silicone in between holding them on as well as the clips? Any ideas?

If they are anything like the headlight globes they should just kinda push in (the wire clip) and they kinda twist to the side but i am not completely sure as i have only changed the headlights. Just outta interest how did you get the indicator / fog surround out? i have a hybrid fmic so dont know if that is in the way for me.

If they anything like the headlights..

To get the headlight plastic cover off, it has to be baked in an oven to loosen the glue that holds it to the black backing having looked at mine a fair while ago I guessed that they would be the same, put up some pics if you succeed.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
