VF parking lights

[426Cuda]

Has anyone changed their parking globes in a VF? I've bought a pair of LED globes, but it looks a little tricky to fit them. Do the headlights need to be removed?

Cheers.

Sorry meant to post this in the VF section. Please relocate.

The parkers can be accessed from the engine bay, you just twist them and out they come. Take a look on top of each headlight, you'll see them.

probably a good idea to have a look at least before creating a thread. easiest thing in the world to do.

Probably best to read my opening post before taking the high & mighty line. I h
ad a look & thought I'd use the tech area for advice before jumping in & breaking something. Sheesh the quick, simple advice Nazi's are alive & well.

It'll probably be in the drivers handbook.

Wel it's half done. As suggested very simple. Just don't drop the globe holder down behind the headlight. Still not found. Trap for young players.

Depending on which side..if on the driver's side...they say that you have to remove the mudguard lining to replace the low beam light globe...could be lodged in the lining....and a bloke that I know changed his for the push in LED's...one failed after 2 weeks...and if they fail to work first up....remove and turn the bulb around they have a + and - configuration...not like the ordinary push in globes which will work either way.....good luck.

You will most likely need a load resistor for LEDs as they trigger fault codes, I noticed auto barn have this in pack of two for $30 they have clamp type connectors you just crimp onto the existing positive and negative wire of each globe wiring harness

nah you dont, leds work fine. get the type that point straight instead of sideways.

this type

not this type

just a word on load resistors. even if you dont need them its good to know:

if they look in any way like this:

and are not branded from a reputable manufacturer DO NOT BUY THEM!

ive had 8 failures so far on camaros. fkn right pain in the arse. when it comes to these things, you cant cheap out.
