Well just been sorting out that rear hicas arm, what a ball ache of a job. not one id like to be doing again. and now my rear wheel is in serious need of some tracking. and who's idea was it to give the tracking arm of that hicas thingymabob a 11mm hex for a spanner.

 

rear number plate illumination has now been sorted out, had to swap over a bulb holder over from my breaker in the end as the copper contacts fell out.

 

and just swapped over my led side lights, for some standard ones :( but i think i know why he is saying they where blue. my fog light halogens have a blue coating on them grrrrr. just wait till i take this thing back to the MOT station, im going to be having some serious words.

 

anyway, the rear wheel is now solid and doesnt move anywhere, the number plate lights up, and my side lights are now yellow instead of white. roll on Tuesday so i can get this MOT cert.

Good work mate, and good luck! It really annoys me too, how a white light be too white?

he said they were blue, im not sure how he came to that conclustion as they are LED lights and dont work on heat like HIDs do

good luck with the retest matey

Well done iain, didnt know the rear was dodgy..

 

Those lights at the bottom, the blue coated ones.. they never worked and there is a mass of wire under the bonnet rh side that i think relate to it. Thinking back there is a switch behind the dash which i was told operated the lights but i never had any luck sorting it.

 

You should have brought the car back to my guy for a ticket..he loves it..

Rear drivers side hicas arm had substantial play at the ball joint, but luckily the opposite side to the hub, the lights you speak off are no longer on the car as they came off when i removed the 89 spec front bumper and replaced it with the 99spec last year, all the wiring has been removed for them so no longer clutters up the engine bay,

 

the side lights are what he said where blue, kinda annoying as they are LED's so unless i had blue LED bulbs in, there is no way they would appear anything other than white. need to get the car back on the road asap, so i can get back to work matey. im sure you understand.

 

Hows your gear box coming along? any more news? also, get me some good photos of your new car, so i can add them to my next 300zx movie.

Iain, waiting for speed sensor before i can make any decision. hopefully next week. if you junked the blue lights, can i have them back, i did like them...(Forgot to remove before you came down...)
