985, RE: 97 reverse lights...how the f*#k do i open them Posted by John99RS, Jan-25-01 06:57 AM Get a pair of pliers and gently turn the bulb assembly(socket). It will turn, it's just on there real tight that's all. There's a rubber gasket that's keeping it sealed real good. | |

991, RE: 97 reverse lights...how the f*#k do i open them Posted by BLKOUT, Feb-21-01 02:49 AM Yes. I'm pretty sure that they will hassle you. I don't know how the cops are there, but here I think they would be all over that. | |

992, RE: 97 reverse lights...how the f*#k do i open them Posted by Junoon, Feb-21-01 06:57 AM nah.. i don't think cops would do anything.... as long as those are red lights... unless if they catch you backing up... with no white lights... u can put as many red lights on the back of your car as you want... but if you have hyper white on all the time while driving.. then... soon you'd see red and blue blinking lights in your rear view mirror... | |
