Title: Removing pop-ups
Post by: trotter on September 12, 2007, 12:24:19 PM
I bought Ed_Rx7\'s sllek lights off him yesterday and whilst waiting on the post I thought of a quick question - had a search but nothing came up.....

Is it worthwhile removing the pop-up motors or can I just remove the fuse to stop \'em working? Or should I just leave them alone? :Hammer

removing pop up motors not easy due to usual RX lack of space to get at anything,take fuse out easy option & saves grazing your knuckles trying to get motors out,took mine out completely though

A little off topic, but if you\'re fitting sleek lights. Do you wanna sell the black plastic front cover off the old passenger light?

I found the motors got in the way when I removed my pop ups so removed the whole lot, quite easy just loads bolts holding the assemblies in place, just be methodical in the removal , remove the fuse first otherwise u find sparking might happen u dont want a fire!

I removed the motors & light units as one when I did mine - Just be paitent & take your time - when you do the other side it will take half the time :)
