    There is a spring clip on the front end of the light unit (end with the 'O' symbol), you need to use a flat screwdriver to try and compress that clip and ease it out from that end first. One of mine came out easily the other was a different story.

    Another good day spend cursing on the car

    Brought some wire, fire extinguisher, paint, and some other pieces for the car today.

    Wire was for the antenna booster mod.



    Pretty good get decent range on it now.

    Fire extinguisher was for safety but still undecided on where to mount it. Most likely going to end up in the boot.

    Paint is for the toe hook mod which will be finished tommorow so pics then.

    Also decided to pull apart my door to see why it wont recognize that its open. Ended up putting it all back together fine after stressing out that it wont lock anymore. Only problem is now the lock cylinder wont stay in the door. Figured out the problem and have to remove it all again to fix. Sigh.

    Door Trim off.


    Window and trim in boot


    Metal Sheet out of door getting further in the crap now.


    Lock module


    Possible cause of problem. Notice the corrode pin. Thats corroded on the connection in the door and on the module as-well. Only solution i think is to replace. Not sure need a bit more info on it.



    Picture of what should be the problem which is cracked solders but seems to be fine.
