hey guys,

wondering if you could help by telling me the easiest way to the driving lights on an 02 model XR6T? just got mine on the weekend and the passenger side fog light is loose. is it easiest to go under the front bar and take of the plastic plate that stops stuff buouncing into the enginew bay, or are you able to take out the head light and/or the airbox and get to it that way?

any help would be appreciated, even a flame to say 'USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION'

cheers,

Daniel.

Remove the underytray and push them out from the back. They are designated left and right fitments so don't mix them up. To remove the headlights you have to remove the whole bumper cover - lotsa work for little gain.

Thanks turbo6man, I'll check it out on the weekend as it looks like a daytime job, and thanks to you too spine, guess I had to expect that comment.

cheers,

Daniel.

I think Jeff means pull them out from the back. The light won't push out from the back.

There are clips on each corner that hold the light in that are just push tabs. One or more of the tabs probably isn't in position properly.

thanks adam, I dunno if its that though, coz you can push it back and forth from the front and twist it around and stuff, so I reckon if its push tabs theyre all broken, or maybe are pushed out and need to be pushed it. Lazy dealer I say. but its my fault for not noticing it before driving away I spose, hopefully easy to fix,

cheers,

Daniel.

Here's what it looks like from behind...

You can see that the light is mounted in the bracket and the tabs I mentioned on each corner.

It's a *beep* of a job to do on the ground. If you can't get it up in the air your probably better taking the whole bumper off, it's not hard and then you'll be able to get to the light easily.

Thanks alot for your help adam. I might be able to get a set of those ramps they use in car yards, sounds like it'd be worth it,

cheers,

Daniel.

I found a lot easier way to get at the foggies.....

Take it back to the dealer and let some other fool try to get in there......

Sounds like a plan dags, but I think I'd be better fixing it myself since I bought it secondhand and didnt notice it was loose before I drove it away, so I'm not gonna drive 300kms to see if its cover in the statutory warranty,

cheers,

Daniel
