Passing port window cover removal?
How can i take out the passing port window covers where the passing lights are? I'm not sure how my car would look like after i take them out but they're pretty ugly as it is. I tried reaching behind the headlights in the up position but couldn't get to them. A friend of mine suggested taking a hammer, breaking them from the outside, and then tear out what would remain of the lenses....but thats kinda eh... :Kill1:

Why do you want to remove them?
|
they are probably aged and crappy looking. the only way to remove them is from the back with the lights up.
|
oh it is a 10mm deepwell socket and they usually break the stud out of the lens so once you take them out there is no going back
|
i think my 7 would look a lot better with them gone. but i'll try 10mm deepwells when i get to my friend's shop.
|
the FTP's lights?
take some 1000, 1500, 2000 then plastic polish to them. |

Raise the headlights, pull the RETRACTOR fuse (safety first), remove the plastic trim around the headlight and reach in with a 10mm socket. I've never actually needed to use a deep socket for this. There are lots of threads about restoring the lenses to as-new condition. |
I thought I used an 8mm socket when I took mine out recently. Not that difficult to remove using a small 3/8" socket wrench and socket.
|
Yeah you're right, they're little 8mm nuts.
|
polishing the FTP lens is a good option, i went to the junk yard and took them off to polish (hoping to sell them out) but then i got lazy and they've been laying around.....
but prepare for the stud to break.... 9/10 of them will..... if u don't have a 8 deep socket, u can use a 8 wrench, but its a tight squeeze..... |
