I've a blown globe in D/S front parker light.

How do you get the assembly out????? so you can replace the globe.

There appears to be only one screw holding the assembly in, which screws into the side of the headlight. The assy is loose but something is preventing it from coming out. I dont want to force it. When I got the car the pP/S assy had a broken clip so I dont want a repeat.

Any help please.

Hey mate, yes its a bugger this one!

There is actually a rubber grommet that holds in a male/female type thing... i think if you look in the DIY section there is an instruction, i think i might have done it but can't remember

Cheers

The force was with me. But what a bugger of a job for such a pissy little globe.

And I had to unbolt the guard to get the sod out.

Hmmmmmm. Hiroheta's revenge!

Thanks for the info.

Yeah i hate having to put alot of force on anything like this... ur working with brittle plastic and such u really don't want to be putting all your might into it as when it goes its likely to break something... which is what happened to me :P as i pulled forwards the mount that has the screw going threw it hit something and snapped... excellent just for a stupid globe.

Oh well your done now hopefully won't have to do it again for awhile

      @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline

      Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best.

      Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things

      I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
