One removed, you will see a access whole. Takes 5 mins to remove the rear brake light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 the ones on the wing come off really easy, i take mine out when i polish, as you say push them towards the front or push to the rear and then they pull out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 hmmmmm unsure wether to get white or blue sidelight mates got blue on evo and look well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i got white but leds do have a natural blue tint, they are only cheap so buy both the leds in the rear number plate light look , these are just push the holder to the side and pull off - 5 min job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15MNO-Daron Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Whats the best way to get to the front side lights?.. i cant seem to get to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Whats the best way to get to the front side lights?.. i cant seem to get to them. turn the wheel all the way inwards on the side you are doing, then undo a screw/bolt on the inner wing plastic guard (level with the headlight) and pull it down, you can now get your hand in behind the headlight, turn the bulb holder and it will come out, you can then pull the holder and bulb through the gap and change the bulb check it works before you put it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

askmenice Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Be careful replacing the rear indicators make sure the new bulbs are seated properly before putting them back in or the bulb can end up in the lens and it aint easy to get out.

shire350Z Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 good tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 same goes for all the bulbs if you drop one in the headlight you will have to take the bumper off to get the headlight out and it has happened before to someone on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 how do u get to the interior lights??? my Z never came with a workshop manual so dont wanna go breaking anything!!! any1 know where i could get one from ill try dealer monday but doubt they can mine being a 53plate cheers other thing is the boot bulb same as front then i can order three at once if not which is the one to go for to match the white LED's in front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 download a manual here http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Service the boot bulb is different to the front the interior lights plastic cover is just clipped in, you just use a flat head screw diver or a kitchen knife down the side to wedge it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 wedge front which side?? inside of both lights with a guess??? cheers for link!!! plus do u know which bulb to get for the boot then to match the front?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 put the knife up the front or rear side and it will push the lug out of the hole and will come out the boot ? i cant remember to be honest but the cover is just a push fit aswell, you can just put a kitchen knife down the edge (left side as it slides slightly) and wedge it out its all very technical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 ahh... if iirc the boot light is the same as your indicator bulb on the wing hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
