Have you read the FSM yet? It might answer the numerous threads you've made.

No. As HK said, you should definitely read the FSM to figure it out - it's not readily evident how to do it without the instructions, but it's pretty simple.

Just held on with 4 screws.. 2 behind the corner light, 2 behind the black plastic trim.

Just be sure you you don't crack the corner lamps (the ball joint) when removing them from the car. This happens alot!!!

Yep mine are broken. If nissan was smart they would have made that part replaceable apart from the headlight housing...

I have a piece of wire holding mine in.

[Haitian_King]

What? You? Wire? *Gasp*

So you are mortal.

Damn. Now I don't believe in anything anymore.



Just kidding. But I'd always thought that you had a flawless Q. I try to model my Q on yours.

Its either that or a new headlight... NO THANKS.. One of these days i'll think of a clever replacement... You can tell something isnt right but ive made it look decent.. You wouldnt notice it though...

There are some thing I concern myself with. I am nowhere near perfection to start worrying cosmetic things (my Q is pretty beat up, but it photographs nice).. I dont care, its part of the sleeper experience.. They see a huge scuff on the rear bumper, dings in the door, etc etc and they think this car cant be worth anything... I also dont feel bad when I park in walmart and get dinged... I dont care if I do a burnout and get tire chunks all over the back of the car... I dont care if I spin off the track and get grass everywhere.. I spend more time enjoying the car than worrying about messing something up.

Once the Q is ready to rock its going to get a paint job so I can drive it when I dont have to worry.

[Haitian_King]

Cool. Good to hear that Wes. What color do you plan to paint it? Will you keep that same shade of green? Or go black to match the Bimmer?

[elwesso]

green all the way baby.
