Ok, i decided to change out my clearance lights today using the "peel back method." I did however remove my tire just for the fact I thought it would be a little easier with that thing outta the way.

Once I got all the screws out and peeled the wheel lining back, I saw that the clearance light was pretty easy to get to from the top of the car ( engine bay ) once I knew exactly what I was looking for. I then reached threw the top of the car and pulled the light out, changed the bulb, and put the CL back in. After I spend a good 30 minutes getting the tire off, lining screws out, all that bs!! I just went to the left side and pulled the light out from the top changed the bulb and put it back in. The right side of the car has more room than the left, but my hands are pretty skinny so i got em in their on the left side with no problem. Anyways that bulb took a good 3 minutes to change and we were pretty disappointed in all the effort we put in that was not needed. Anyways im changing out two more people's car's tommorow, should be a breeze now!

 

Ok, now I feel kind of stupid having done it the old fashion way about 15 times already. Thanks though.

 

looks great austin..........i have to have u do it for me

 

no problem dude, i changed out mine, G35Fresh, Drewzer's, and FL350GT. Only takes a about 5 minutes to do both sides, messed up my hands tho not really a lot of room to work but it a lot easier than taking the tire off.

 

great info... i plan on updating my bulbs soon... but was weary about doing it before because of all the supposed work that went into it. i'm glad u found a better way. do u have to feel around for the bulbs to do it without going underneath? i haven't looked into this yet... hope it's easy for a first timer. got any tips for me?

-regards.

ps. what bulbs/leds did u put in?

 

what exactly am i looking for?? where am i supposed to stick my hand??

 

show us some pictures of what we need to look for....jeez

 

You must have a pretty small hand. I scraped the hell out of my hand for 40minutes and couldn't get the bulb to go back in. Finally just decided to do it the old fashion way, which only took 10 min.

 

Hey Diamond thanks for the tip. Saved me a lot of time. I changed my clearance bulbs yesterday with your method and it worked! The passenger side bulb was a lot harder to get to though. I was gonna give up after about 10 minutes of trying to reach it. I finally said F it, went for it, and reached it (barely). (Cut my hand slightly doing it)

For everyone else, do not attempt this if you have above average size hands. They won't fit! And for those that do, prepare to get nicked up a bit.

 

what am i reaching for?? and how will i know when i got there ? i keep sticking my hands in there and then i pull it out cuz i dont know where exactly it is

 

**Sry bout that post dont worry about it, my hands are to fat


ok so i know that i need to remove the wheel liner and turn the wheel and all that good stuff but can someone give me an exact count of all the things i need to remove thats all i need (ive searched for like an hour now and everyone says differant stuff..one days 2 screws 5 bolts others day 3 screws 10 bolts i dunno..HELP

 

Well you know what they say about small hands...

I'll need to take the wheels off

ppp

 

Good thing I have small hands... I'm gonna try this method when changing my clearance light since my PIAA Xtreme whites are turning yellow.

 

lol you should see my hands


all scratched up and sh*t ahahaha

 

ok so anyways heres a pic of the whell well can someone like circle the spots where i should look for screws/clips anything like that
