Lexx Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ok, Ive done a search and cant find anything on this. Ive just got the 31mm festoons in Blue for the main interior lights, and the boot. My question is what is used in the door cup holders? and Im guessing Im right in saying the entire door trim would have to come off to change them? I changed ALL the lights in my Rex, as it didnt look right with the white in a few places. Cheers Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I didnt know either till yesterday when the white light in them was pi$$ing me off. Bottle of Irn Bru fit in them perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 ummm they are orange lights same as rest of the dash. The manual says they are bottle holders which explains why I cant get a cup into them. I'd prefer to have the dash and dial lights in blue but the Japanese have some kind of fascination with orange.

Lexx Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thats no much help on how I get at them and what I change them with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thats no much help on how I get at them and what I change them with! True. I'll take a closer look later. Do they light up when the door opens with the ignition off? Cant remember. If so that would make adding a light behind the red door reflector which is something I think is missing from the car.

Lexx Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 They come on when you have side lights or head lights on. Thats the only time as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the MY06's were the first to have them - a whole lot better than that silly pull-out ring on the passenger's side on the earlier ZEDs.

Leans slightly forward and is positioned toward the front of the lower part of the door which means reaching right down to get at it. They call it a bottle holder and the cup holder (singular) is behind the gear shift which isn't much better with the 10 to 15 speed ramps I have to go over every day.

Lexx Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Since i always have to carry a sugary drink in the car with me, it works perfect for those 500ml bottles of coke/sprite/Irn Bru etc etc. Its too bloody windy here today to have a decent look at it.

bobby Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 i dont have a my07 car..so i cant comment on the holder lights...but from all the rest of the lighting assemblies in the Z.. i would guess that those interior lights can only be accessed from behind the door panel/trim. my rough guess would be...remove door card and sort it out from behind the card then fit back..be careful with the clips though...!! bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
