Hi,

Im new to this forum..and I just need a little help.
I bought some purple LED Parker Lights and wanna install them. But damn dont have a clue how to. I was wondering if any of you commodore experts know how to instruct me to do so.
Would highly appreciate any simple help.

Also, my rear left doors electric windows and central locking doesnt work. Does anyone else had a problem like this? Im not sure whats wrong with it.

Thanks again.


Daz

the park lights can be replacedby removing the headlight wiring and the rubber cup...

now finding the park light...

just look for the seperate wires inside the headlight assembly and pull gently! the park light should come straight out as its only held in by a rubber grommet. then replace and refit. getting the light back in can be a pain though!

also on the battery side it might be easier to take the battery out but it isnt necessary!

Where are you from Daz?

Most states require white parkers. Purple, blue ect... all defectable and cop bait

Yeah I'm originally from Brissy and they were pretty tough on it there, More so than Vic.

They pinpoint any change in colour from the wiper jets to wheel caps to undercar neons. Parker lights unfortunatly are no exception.

My advice if you really want to do it is to keep a spare standard set of parker globes in the car just incase you need to change them then and there. (saves the hastle of a yellow sticker being issued)

I actually bought a new switch for it..and doesnt work still. hmmm..not too sure whats wrong with it. Probably have to check it out with the auto electrics...but i thought it wouldve been a simple self job problem. Thanks anyways.

Oh true..dang! Yeah a few people have it here. Some passed through booze buses etc..and cops didnt do much. But yeah, Ill take your advice. Ill just play stupid if they pull me over lol.
Say i never noticed. Where you living now? I think Brisbane cops are lazy!
Ive been here 3 years now..and I havent even got breathalized yet! If this was adel or melb..I wouldve got it done alot of times now.

i think gold coast is more strict of defects. Since alot of nice cars like to go cruising down there..and it is a hot spot for hoons to show off and stuff!

Too many to list......
Coloured parker lights are gay. Is the door wiring loom plugged in inside the B pillar? May have been unplugged for some reason seems odd for two things to fail in one door.
