Hey guys, quick one, i've lost my Hayne's book of lies and info is short on the net.
My front left indicator has blown. on my TH. i've got the replacement, i ah, guess what would be intuitive would be to get a screwdriver and gently lever out the entire module as it appears to have a rubber seal all around.
But i've learned that No cars are intuitive to repair. :nuts:
ah... help!. :D
mate theres a little spring behind the light that u gotta undo, at the end of the spring theres like a circle/loop that you pull onto to unhook if that makes sense. then you can pry it out, use a cloth under the screwdriver so you dont damage the paint.
Front indicators are easy... There is a little ring on a spring that hold them in, release it by pulling it back then to the side so its no longer connected, then pop the indicator out from the back (push it out gently).
Once out, twist the bulb holder and it will come out of the housing.

I read in other places that all you do is pry the lamp out carfully until it pops out using something that wont scratch your paint.
I just ordered some clear 380 ones from mitsu for mine today :D
Hope they go straight in like i was told.
