mattarosa Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 get either a really small tacking pin and hammer it in on the side that the lights go of the pins, no wires, or a watchmakers screw driver, something thin and flat...

Arosaproject Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 or a thin bit of welding wire and push it up and bobs your uncle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 well if you push hard enough you should see it come out of the other side, the wire that is not the connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fereday04 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 okay i wanna check im doing this right..I've unsrewed the light and unclipped it from the wiring loom. Now i'm pushing the 2 metal things that are in the black casing (1 to 6) up and trying to get them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fereday04 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 i've taken the clip off the back of the light, yes. But done nothing else apart from try and prod the 'pins' out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 the top bit of tha folds out then just put the wire or whatever youre using on the side that is up and give the cable a good tug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 take a small screw driver i forget which side folds out and push it down where the cable enters, do this on the two corners, 1&6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 nah its fine now take whatever your using and push it down the side that hasnt been folded down, push it in from the side with the cables entering then leave it in as you pull the cable out with pin on the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fereday04 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I've got a paper clip and a tacking pin. I'm not sure what, where im meant to be pushing them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 use the tacking pin, the side of the black connector which has the cables from the wiring loom, the side which hasnt been folded down, insert the eed to hammer it in gently then pull the cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 insert the pin down there, you may need to hammer * stupid laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fereday04 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks for your help mate ... but i don't quite understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 you know where the cables come into the black thing? the side that folds down? not that side of the cables but between the cable and the fixed bit of the plastic, down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fereday04 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Okay, and im meant to hammer it down there? How does that release the pin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 then pin has two barbs on as you hammer the tack down there it bends one in allowing you to pull it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
