Spotlights!
« on: 29 May 2006, 17:22 »
Hi there
Just a quickie!
How do you remove the spotlights from the grille?
2 of the connections are threaded so thy are easy enough.  however 3rd connection is a knarly looking thing. Do i remove the whole thing including the plastic clip or is ther another way?
Regards
Alan

you have to turn the plastic clips through 90 deg to line up with the slots,
the spots should then push out from the back ;)

Thanks Pegasus
I will give it a bash

The nylon clips are held in place by 2 small lugs on the metal frame which prevent easy rotation of the nylon part.  Should I just force it and buy new clips or can they be teased over the lugs without breaking?

Use a pair of pliers on the lugs (bit of wd40 too) and like you say "tease" them...

**EDIT** Make sure you turn the lugs anti clockwise ;)
