Stonkin Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 ......the facelight indicators on the sides of the front bumper. Looks as though the whole wheel arch lining has to come off. I want to get them sprayed black. Surely if i was just replacing a bulb in them, do you really have to remove the whole lining? Also, once they are sprayed black, will they still shine through as orange when on? Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Headlight out, its easy from there, you just need a 10mm Ratched spanner to make things easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Thanks Martin, and thats definetly the orange blobs on the sides and not the actual indicator under the head light? just to double check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Ahhh sorry missunderstanding. Yes, Bumper off or inner wing plastics out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 ah ok, thought so. Thats crap, if i was just wanting to replace a bulb! Thanks Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I had no problem changing the side indicators on my NA facelift- just needed a hand in the hole below the front indicators and a quick fiddle around from there. Admittedly on the right hand side that might be a problem with a SMIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Ok Faye, i will remember that for that side, thankyou girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 That's a pain just to replace a bulb. I always assumed they just pulled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Who's spraying them for you stonkin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 A new sprayshop i found called BodyTone in Wokingham, he's doing the rear lights, side reflectors and side indicators. I found them when i had my rear arches shaved after getting the new wheels. A very nice genuine guy, that appreciates and looks after a good car when it comes in. I fell out with a place i have used for years after everytime i went there recently for things a 'little out of the norm' i got questioned why i wanted it! FFS, its my car and i'm paying the bloody bill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 That's a pain just to replace a bulb. I always assumed they just pulled off. Nope, they're bolted. I still haven't replaced mine with the clears I got months ago because the one behind the SMIC is a PITA to get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 i presume if i remove some of the wheel arch lining they are ok to get to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
