As I've said many times before, get the service manual :P

But to take the parkers out, first pop the bonnet. Then undo the single screw bolting the parker cluster to the headlight cluster (it'll be a Phillips-head screw on top of the headlight). Then, wiggle the parker towards the front of the car (it has some spring-clip thingies holding it in too) until it pops free. Then turn the globe holder anti-clockwise and pull out the holder, thus giving you access to the globe itself. I'm sure you can work out what to do from there on.

Posted here because your inbox is full:

which manual did you buy for your ae102 and where from?

...id image there a bit more difficult to buy now

cos their definatly difficult to find one to download LOL

I got my Gregorys from AutoOne, any reputable parts store (even Supercheap and Repco) will happily order one in for you if it's not on the shelves already, if not then they come up on eBay from time to time.

They're hard to download because no-one bothers to scan them in - they're not rare like genuine factory manuals so no-one sees the point.

im not sure if it will do it on your car, but the colour was way off to normal and the indicator was moving much faster than usual.

dont replace indicators, thats illegal.... and they flash faster due to the reduced resistance so the relay goes off tap.

Replaceing PARKERS obviously wont have the same issue.

I think he was referring to the parker lights and not the indicators.

If you change your indicators to LED's by the way, you may need to replace the flasher relay as it relies on the resistance from the globes to operate.

Edit: Beat by a couple of minutes.

Im not changing the indicators (aka turn signal indicators)

I just want to change the Parker lights as they are yellow as you can see on link below for my car on page 2.

ive been getting a few people saying it looks crap with the HID's. Let me know what you think...

I had my leds installed by an auto electrican and they are much brighter and better then the standard.

I would take the ones you got from autobarn back and go to an auto electrican. Might help.

yea i was talking about the indicators djkor..

i put them in once and then took them out straight away. it wasnt right.

anyway im happy with led parkers and reverse lights...

that led cluster for the rolla would be much better though!!!

      Insurance

      Yeah, kind of what I've been thinking, but due to how bad the drivers are through Chatswood and those areas I'll probs ensure it with someone like AusPost who have the cheapest insurance and will insure me but I will definitely get the cameras you suggested thankyou so much

      Insurance

      If you've answered all their questions honestly & tried all the majors then there's nothing you can do other than find the cheapest quote for 3rd party because that's the minimum you need to be out on the roads. Some 3rd party insurance will also cover your car up to a small amount ($3000) if the other party is at fault & they have no insurance. Because you will be driving around with no insurance for your own car, I suggest getting quality dashcams front & rear to cover yourself incase of any claims you need to make against someone at fault. I recommend the viofo A129 pro duo https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/295468431227 Start getting quotes again for comprehensive insurance, once enough time lapses to have confidence answering those licence disqualification questions without needing to disclose. Usually 3-5 years after the fact....

      Insurance

      Hey guys I'm new here I've run into a pretty major issue, I've just bought myself a 2007 aurion sx6 as an 18 year old red p plater who commutes to sydney city daily around 165km round trip (six days per work) for work. When I was younger I got done with some heft demerits and was given a police suspension (Dec 2022-Feb 2022) in court the judge ordered my license to be canceled (hence the red P plates at nearly 19) and I was suspended again in December of 2023 until March 2024 when I got caught by a camera doing 6km over the limit in the tolls tunnels (stupid ik) - and just before I bought my car I was T-Boned on my motorbike not at fault but a claim was made, most insurers are flat out refusing to insure me and the ones that don't refuse quote me around $5000-$6000 for full comprehensive. Have no family whose insurance I can be added to and as an apprentice I really can't afford $5000 for insurance. I know all of this is a result of stupid decisions made when younger - but if anyone has any helpful tips or advice it would be greatly appreciated I have been on the train for the past 3 months and it's a 4 hour trip each way so kind of need this sorted

      Ticking Hilux 5le

      Hi all, got a 2004 diesel 4x4 Hilux with the 5le motor in it. 250,000 kilometres, i’m the second owner and have had it about 9 months. Since I bought it there has always been a constant ticking noise while driving (anywhere over 1200rpm) but not while idling. Does it while accelerating, maintaining speed and decelerating. No real impact on power and I get about 12.5L per 100km. I never worried about it too much but it’s starting to ***** me off a bit. I’ll link a video below, any clues what could be causing the noise?

      Toyota Echo Mods.

      Hmm it seems like I can't quote anyone except the original post. @Wing (hope I tagged right person) I definitely relate. You did incredibly well with that find! Crazy low KMs!

      Toyota Echo Mods.

      Thanks for the post Aldo. Googling echo upgrades lead me to this thread and now I'm a member. I definitely hear you. I've been looking in to turning my 03 Echo in to a soft roader. I bought it for 2k (clear coat was cooked) back in 2021. I managed to lose my license in it within first 3 weeks. I HUGELY underestimated how much up and go it has. Although on fresh tyres, previous owner went cheap. In the wet, driving hard, I was spinning until 3rd gear/ or around 75kmh. Have been playing around with it, looking at suspension upgrades, bash plates etc, even a snorkel 😂 but best I've been able to come across so far would be swapping suspension and wheels from a Jimny or similar. Would require a bit of custom modifications and therefore engineering certificate etc. There already seems to be some great posts in here. Definitely suspension and air flow seme to be the go. Since we have the old cable 🚠 based throttle, unfortunately we can't do drive-by-wire. I was introduced to that by a workmates 06? Hilux 4x2... That thing pulled *HARD* just from changing the mode selected on the DBW. V6 obviously but yeah. Definitely following this thread and gonna pop the air filter next 👍🏽 👍🏽

      Wheels for Hilux

      Hi, I'm hoping to buy a good second hand set of wheels for my 98' Mk 4 Hilux single cab. Does anyone know if Mk7 wheels would fit regarding the offset please? Thank you, Best, Daniel
