Hello, everyone:

I need help with the below threat (G-100: DIY LED Interior Part III: Steering Wheel LEDs (Audio and Cruise Modules)

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/g-100-diy-led-interior-part-iii-steering-wheel-leds-audio-cruise-modules-763640/

I am stuck on picture #5 - I tried to use the torx (T-30) to drive the two bolts out, but unscucessful! It is too tight, and was unable to unscrew it.

Would someone help?

Thank you in advance! And drive safely!

 

does your t-30 bit fit in the opening securely? is your bolt stripped? are you sure you have a t-30? is it long enough to get a good fit in the hole? (giggidy)

t-30 is what i used and it worked fine for me. what sort of problem are you running into? need more leverage?

 

@sharksbreath

Yes, the T30 fits and is long enough to fit. I also tried to unscrew the right sided one, and was also unable to loosen the tight screw.

I just need to replace the lights as they are all burnt out. Cruise control, Mode, Volume, Channel, etc.

Thank you!

 

I took my airbag out when I wrapped the switch bezels with DI-NOC.

One of my sides came out easy, with the other I had to line up the T30 bit and tap it in with a hammer it was just slipping otherwise when I tried to take it out.

After tapping it in it unscrewed easily.

 

Oh okay! Thank you,@mzilvar -- I will definitely try this!

 

Be really careful.


One of mine is stripped. Therefore I'm stuck with an ugly steering wheel and completely burned out bulbs essentially forever.

 

Good luck, I had the toughest time with those. Ended up drilling through it just to get them off... for some reason it was installed with heated thread lock..
