But yeah, I was gonna try and replace my bulbs before but its a sealed unit like turbocab said..

[turbocab]

how do you get em out then henry ??? mabey we have different lights because i swear the bulb bit is like solderded in place on my ones??

[turbocab]

just to prove to myself ime not tripping i just pulled the light out again ::)and it is sooooooooo sealed up at both ends, that bulby bit aint going nowhere?
so can i get the whole unit from ripco,supercrap auto or autobarn or sumtin any one know??
or am i off to newcastle to see city cabrolet again ::)

[Jacko]

You should be able to get them from places like you said. Its not an uncommon shape (ie, not like a skyline headlight.. its just round).

So you might find one meant for a different application?

Oh and my city is still for sale  :D

[Colza]

Not a flame, but why does everyone post silly questions like this here? If i needed a headlight i would take the as much as i could get off (in this case the sealed unit) to repco and say "I need a new bulb" and they they go, "here is a new sealed unit for your car, that will be $30" ::)  is it that hard?

[AnimaLector]

not all places like that are as helpfull as you think.  I've tried going in and asking for parts and if they don't have it or it's not in their system, regardless if it's the same as the most common part int the world, they'll be unable to help.  Also in some cases removing the part prevents the trip into the auto store.

P.S can someone help me with my temp sensor

[Colza]

I should imagine that any temp sensor off any old Honda will be the same. Civic Accord Prelude City, they all measure the same thing and i should imagine it is a generic part. Grab one from a wreckers.

[turbocab]

colza as ime currently working from seven til five at a building site only accesable by boat ide have to send my mum to pick one up for me on her lunch brake as she works near an auto barn store(witch ime sure she would have a ton of fun doing for me) so a part number or brand of suitable replacement or more common car with same lights would come in very handy to send along with her on her mission >:(
so i thaught ide ask you intelligent fellows for advice first but in that case ile shut the f#$@ up in future soooooooooory :-*
often when i do ask a "silly" question someone will reply with something helpfull to guide me

QUE?? sealed unit ---since when ? sure your'e driving a T2
as "H" says available wholesale just about anywhwere.can even get those extra flashy blue thingys now as well totally trick they are .

[Henry]

I have a T11 with flat glass lights, a Pro T which have the same size light but with a curved glass, and an 88 Civic which has rectangular lights, they all have removeable globes and all use the same globe. On the back of the light is a plug with 3 pins, after that is a rubber boot (pulls off easily) then there is a spring wire clip that un-hooks and swings away, and the globe comes out. Globe is a H4-P43t  12V 60/55w Halogen. You may find it easier to remove the 3 screws that hold the headlight surround (black thing) then remove the complete light. The light is held in by 3 adjusting screws which have their heads through key-hole shaped openings, just press in on the light and rotate it until they release then you should be able to move it foreward enough to un-plug the wires. Don't undo these screws or you will need to re-align your headlights.  If it is the right hand light, this is probably easier than trying to change the globe with the light in place.  Have fun.  Henry.
