BOOOOOSH

 

dude ik the connceors wont come off

 

 

wiggle them a bit

 

I love it how people like DC3328 dont offer any help to a fellow ziner in need. He just sticks his nose out at a friend in need in some help. People like that must have nothing better to do.

 

hey fucktard. lets go through the thread k?

what advice would you give him with the info he put? ive taken off my tails before. the connectors have a tab on them and you pull.. i posted that so he could maybe give some more info towards his problem.

he then proceeded to post this:

in which i replied:

in order to see what his problem is and help.


so who had the worthless post in here..?

 

The way you worded your question it sounds like you want to smoke the connectors.

To answer your question though, the connectors (I'm assuming you mean bulb sockets) for the bulbs should twist counter-clockwise and then pull out.

 

well lets see in order to smoke them you have to take off the connectors use some common sense man

 

you dont really need to see pics just the two conncetors wont even budge and i cranked all damn day so i said screw it. ill do it later maybe

 

cranked what... all you do is twist and pull out. why are you trying to pull the connectors when you can just take off the bulbs while connected to the wire harness?

 

obviously he tried to help you retard.. OP said connectors and didn't specify what connectors..

if he took a pic of which connector, then we could've simply said, " oh that connector, all you do is blah blah blah"

 

OP what are you trying to take off exactly? the whole wire harness?? or just the bulbs from the tail light..

 

This coming from the guy who can't remove a tail light connector?

OK....

 

^lol

And you dont necessaryly have to remove them to have them smoked

 

ok tough guy chill out dont always have to start shit ,they're a bitch to get off i know how to do exactly what i need to do and how i was just seeing if there was something i could use to get them off i dont need your negativity

 

lol wut

 

i dont want to get over spray on my bumper sorry

 

painter's tape... duh~

 

oops....gotta stop multi-tasking

 

i guess i could i just didnt really want to risk it. im just gonna pull them out a bit and tape everything off..maybe a towel? cause i gotta sand them most likely

 

... are you spraying them?

don't sand them.. wat are you gonna do if it comes out like shit?

and just tape it off.. use butcher paper or something so you don't have to use like 100 yards of tape..

 

yeah well ive dont it before on my friends gti and it looks good with the same spray and they werent sanded but i heard the right way is to sand them do 2 layers of spray then 1 layer of clear coat then a wax buff

 

All I'm saying is, he tried to help, you don't have to question his common sense.

After all, you're the one asking for help.

Good luck with it.

 

watever, do what you want....

smoked/blacked tail lights look :ghey:

imo.

 

yeah i wasnt gonna black the whole light just the red part but im somwhat still debating

 

true, but yeah thanks man im most likely gonna do it

 

yea, even still.. i don't like it.

its more of a euro thing imo

 

yeah i guess. i just saw it on a NBP tl and it looked sexy the the black and white contrast

 

with*

 

Common sense? I'm trying to help you jackass. You need to clarify what connectors you're talking about. At least take a picture or use a schematic from an Acura online parts dealer and point it out so we know what the hell you're talking about!

 

chris- u want to take the whole tail lights off, right. now u can do that in two ways.

1. twist the plug (the parts where the bulb sits) counter clock wise. like if u were unscrewing a screw. just a little bit until u feel that u can take the whole connector and bulb out

2. in back of each plug (the plastic part where the bulb sits) their gonna be a male and female connector (small rectangular piece that separates) if u look on that connection, u will find a small square at the end of ones side of the connector. push that down and pull the connector away from each other. do that to all the connections and the tail light will come out.

 

I see the CL-S is coming along nicely. You gotta change your slogan under your name to "CL-S on steroids" though.

 

smoked mine while they were still on the car looks good...how do i upload a pic so u can c?
