If you click "SHOW MORE" in the description above your be able to see Links to the Tools 🔧🔨🔧 I use. Also Clickable Chapters📋 📙 throughout the video and other Links 🎬 that may be of interest. I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest. Admittedly the amazon links are associated with me and I would earn a small commission which helps towards keeping the channel funded.
Rather than yarding or prying on the light cluster cover with a tool, once you've removed the 2 10mm bolts and wiggled the cluster cover somewhat loose, slide a webbing strap in behind the cluster cover from the top to a point about 4 inches down. Grasp both sides of the strap and give it a firm pull straight toward you. The cover should pop off very easily.
A small tip from me for all those that cannot pull out the whole set , cause they dont have those plastic extractor/wrenches or they may have minimum friction when pulling with bare fingers, try this: insert from the bottom up a rather short - thick towel in between the plastic lights set and the metallic surface around it, all the way until it gets blocked by the lowest of the three pins, you are gonna feel it when it does so. Strech the towell ,so that it will spread evenlly the pulling force you are gonna use, all underneath the lower part of the set , take any slack you feel there is there, and pull out explosively! The whole set, or at least the lower part, will be unbuttoned sweetly. it worked for me perfectly!
Great video. Wonder if I can ask your advice? I’ve got a T32 x-trail and accidentally left the boot open all night during heavy rain. Now the reverse lights and reverse camera are permanently on under all conditions, driving forwards etc and strangely even with the engine turned off and the doors locked with the key fob they stay on. I have to disconnect the battery whenever I’m parked so as not to drain it. Any suggestions? Thanks
I'm not acquainted with that model but I'd strip the boot, remove the side panels and see if things are wet behind the panels or wherever that water could have got to. If there is a control box or something. I'd maybe remove it and put it into a sealed bag with like a kg of silica gel to make sure its dried out completely.
Thank you. I find changing bulbs on almost all cars harder than doing major mechanical stuff. Each clip is awkward, located where you can't get your hands and liable to snapping. My wife changes the headlight bulbs on all our cars lol
