Chaning Rear Brake Lights

[HKS_R34]

Hi, guys had a quick look yesterday at changing the globes in the 34 for the rear brakes, as one of my lights have gone out and found out that you cant access it from the boot???

Anyone point me in the right direction.

Cheers.

yeah it's a bit of a pita to change the rear bulbs as you have to unscrew the whole assembly ... Take off the plastic cover from inside the boot and then unscrew all the screws ie. 5 or 6 of them on each side and the whole light assembly will pop out. Shouldn't take more than 5-6 mins though so I suppose it's not that a big deal.

oh and a quick word of warning .. don't cheap out and get generic bulbs. Get the more expensive, branded ones. I intiially put the cheapies in and they blew withina few days. The branded ones have been fine for months already. The price diff is only $3 vs $8 or something like that.

Also .. 10mm deep socket will do the job. will also help when doing spark plugs as some of the coilpacks have limited space and u need the deep socket with the skinny end... if that makes sense!! Can supply a repco part number for the socket if needed!
