reverse lights

[joseph81]

anybody know how to remove the reverse lights of a glanza as i am thinking of spraying them black?
tnx

i haven't got an exact idea as i don't have a glanza but i think u get 2 them by removing the tailgate inner plastic trim. as an opinion i wouldn't touch them and leave them standard. someone like idrees would surely help u as he changed swapped a starlet tailgate with a glanza tailgate so he must surely had to wire the reverse lights and knows how to.

i wanted mine out 2 clean them tock off the inner cover and was confused lol.

Yeh, should be a panel on the inside of the bootlid that will just pop off with enough force. The GT's have a similar panel, gains access to the wiper motor and lock. I'd imagine the Glanza is the same idea, but with access to the lights too.

What colour is your Glanza? If it's anything other than black, I wouldn't bother TBH.

tbh i wouldnt bother what would be the point in having very dim reverse lights ? i think the white lenses break up the rear of the car a bit. IMO anyway.

my glanza is black and to be honest i was wondering whether to clean them or spray them ....but still i need to remove them first . tnx guys .

It depends on how they are tinted. My front indicators were given a light blow-over with the same colour as the car. They're nice and dark to look at, but plenty bright enough when on.

 

[joseph81]

yeah i know wot u mean ....i like them like that

 

[gta001]

tbh i would tint the rear lights but not the reverse lights.not a dark tint but a slight tint.

tbh m8 all i wanted 2 do was clean them looks well beta like but i got that panel off and still no joy so cleaned them wif tooth paste an dun brill job lol

 

[joseph81]

i ll try that suggestion lol good idea

 

[scott_glanzav]

that us no hw u gt on wrked for me lol.

 

[joseph81]

i took off the inner panel but could not get them out somehow ....do i have to break the clips that support the outside back panel were the reverse lights are ? i assume you have to remove that first

 

[scott_glanzav]

m8 i just cleaned them wen they were still on the car and it dun a nice job.

 

[joseph81]

but u cleaned the outside i assume not the inside right?

 

[joseph81]

helppppp

 

[scott_glanzav]

yeah i fote that the dirt was all in the inside 2 but wen i cleaned the outside wif my toothpaste they came up alot cleaner.

When you remove the inner panel you need to remove the clips of the outer panel to reach them, but its not necessary to break the clips if you have a clip removal tool (or similar). Its a matter of few minutes to get it done and a bit of patience gdluck

 

[joseph81]

ill try again ...ill buy some clips first just in case i muck them up ...cheers mate
