vt park lights

[timdawes]

i had a look and could only find stuff on vr/v2 parkers. i bought a set of blue led parking lights for my vt, but i can't find where the hell the lights sit to take em out! i can only find the high beam, and the big main headlight

any ideas of the exact location of the parkers in the headlight cluster?

[hispeedvp]

the park light should just pull straight out.

[timdawes]

i know they will pull out, but i can't find where on the back of the headlight they are mounted?

do i need to pull the main headlight out first and then get in from there?

[hispeedvp]

in the VP you take of the round black cover of the back of the headlight cover and there right next to the main headlight globe. just turn the parkers on at night get in behind the headlighr with all covours of and you should see a faint glow, this way you can locate the globe.

[timdawes]

i'll put it in the garage and try that

[timdawes]

dammit i've ****ed it now! the headlight won't go back in... the whole thing's come apart, the indicator bulb's fallen down...

[hispeedvp]

what? how? can you take a pic, what did you do?

[timdawes]

well, i couldn't reach the parking light holder thing, so i gtried to pull out the headlight from the front.

i got it on some wierd angle, and now the indicator bulb has fallen out and i can't get the bloody thing back in place. i've got a friend coming to fix it

god i suck at car stuff.

so you managed to find the parkers? your changing them on a VT yeah? remove the headlight bulb and just below it on the side closest to the radiator is a wire running into a hole, just pull it out and replace. mine are red, looks evil

[hispeedvp]

nice nothng suss, the der ones in the pic i posted are painted with lense paint i had laying around (not bad for a freebee) mine are blue leds, and cost like $7.00 a pair, i personaly think theres no diff,

where you live timdawes? maybe i can help?

[Nthn_Suss]

yeah i bought 2 sets for $10, one set arctic white whith blue bulb covers which just looked like a really light blue and those red LED's which work a treat. also have blue led interior light which looks cool at night.

[hispeedvp]

my mates car, (the blue one in the previouse pic) red roof lining and painted his interior light red with lense paint along with the plastic light cover

here, this might clear it up a bit. I took a pic of where the wire is located (green wire) the bulb is on the end of it, trickiest part is getting it back in the hole sometimes. The headlights were on as my phone camera doesnt have a flash lol.

[hispeedvp]

is same as VP, i dont know how you mannaged to do what you did tim, but good luck if you need anymore help i will be glad.

lol

How the indicator got pulled into a park light change I'd like to know lol. Check your manual for a detailed run through, I'll admit that's what I had to do 1st time haha.

[timdawes]

mine are blue leds... $19.00. i love on the central coast, well my mechanic friend came over, and we found, as both of us have not small hands, that the easiest way was to pull the whole headlight out. the leds are in now. it took me like 2 and a half hours to get nowhere, but once he got here it was about 20 mins haha

damn commodores lol
still. they're blue now, and it looks awesome!!

yeah i found that green and blue wire, but it was near impossible to pull the bloody thing out while the headlight was in it's normal position! maybe i'm just too clumsy haha

i'll up a pic tonight when it's dark.

thanks for your help tho guys

it fell out when i tried to pull out the headlight.


i feel like such a moron now

[timdawes]

this is the final result

apologies for the shite quality, the phone would only let me send an mms with a small piccy.

[Nthn_Suss]

haha yeah it wasnt the most accesible place to reach, and had to disconnect the battery and move it to do the drivers side, but for half hours work it does look awesome. shame is you can only put em on when ur cruising somewhere well lit that you know you wont bump into a cop. but they are ridiculously good-looking lol.

[hispeedvp]

nice one, just be carefull we cant have our commodores looking to ricey
