It's a friction clip, just pops out. I had the same trouble, but i also had to remove my eyelids to get it off. same as the rear lights, they feel like they're going to break off, but it's just a really tight clip

Once it is loose you should be able to get a screw driver in the gap behind the parker light, use a torch as well and try and leaver it off a bit, getting as close to the clip as you can, after a lot off pulling and leavering it should just pop off, feels like its going to break, and then you'll say OH it was just that little dam clip. :hellpisd:

do the headlights need to come out, too get the parker globes?

Nope, just undo the philips head screw that holds the parker assembly onto the top of the headlight assembly. Then pull the parker assembly straight forward by slipping a couple of fingers behind it. It is very tight, just make sure you pull it straight, not up or down or outwards.

:wub: cheers :wub:

My parkers are blue in colour and when I was at a petrol station earlier this week, a cop mentioned that I should change them. I think it's better to be safe than sorry rather than risk a defect.

Tried to get my parkers off last night, and again tonight after having read this thread. I tried pulling them out with a bit of force after undoing the Phillips head screws, but thought I'd better check with those who've already done it before I break them.

Do I pull them forward towards (but away from, if that makes sense?) the front of the car, and can anyone please post a pic of where the clip is and where I should put a screwdriver to lever it off (without scratching the paint)? Is the clip behind or below the parker?

Thanks in advance...

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
