[black8thgen]

[Waternmo]

cool! i hav like 3 pairs of leds left from my old car LOL, wat else in our cars use T10? hehe

[black8thgen]

hahaha thats it i think. Otherwise i would have changed it by now lol. =D. Unlesss i havnt looked hard enough lol..

BTW: ****ing blew my fuse i think. my interior dome lights don't work, neither does my boot light. I was instaling some LED strips in the boot last night and this morning i went to check on it and nothing is coming on.. anyone know what could have happened? Im thinking the fuse box just blew... cos otherwise it wouldn't have reached the interior lights ey?

someone help =[

[ej20i]

yea...chek ur interior lights man

[black8thgen]

yea just did. was a blown fuse. all fixed =]

[.k.]

thats good to hear, are the front parkers hard to change btw? gonna do my headlights and parkers this weekend..

[black8thgen]

nah. pretty easy, except on the passenger side.. its a real bitch because of the coolant box in the way, and with the battery there, very limited room to work ur hands with, and very painful lol, i suggest u wear some globes to prevent from getting deep cuts from the edges of the battery box (personal experience.. it hurt lol)

u just reach ur hand in, try and coordinate ur hand inside the engine bay by looking at where the parkers are in the headlight assembly (makes it a lot easier), then you should feel a small clip, (if u look down into the engine bay u should be able to see a small grey/black (cant remember lol) clip and yeah aim for that lol. Just squeeze the little clippy part (should be on the top half of the clip) and pull away from the connector, thenn just twist the bulb holder.. anti-clockwise i THINK, check the manual for that.. and pull it out then replace the bulb =D.

hope it all goes well mate

btw. edit: if your putting in LED bulbs, i think some types only work one way, so if u put the led in, and it doesnt work, dont worry, just flip it the other way around =D, and that should work.

btw u can remove the coolant box...

you just pull it up literally... lol

[black8thgen]

yea i forgot to say.. putting it back in is a bitch lol. it always takes me like 30min alone to put the stupid thing in =.=

its not hard...takes like 30 secs for me...
the trick is to look at it from an angle. So stand in the centre of the car and look diagonally outwards. Hold the bottle flush against the battery and go downwards. Works for me every time

yeah.. it also took me 30 mins to fit back the coolant box.. haha.. but was satisfy for the DIY job.. =)
