How to remove trunk light from S14 trunk ? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello Zilvia , it seems fairly simple but I can't remove it . I removed the 8mm nut from each side , but the center section won't budge .

Can anyone give me advice on how to remove this light ?

Thanks

gently but firmly pull it off, there should be a sticky sealant on there to prevent water from getting in to the trunk

a hair dryer on hot or a heat gun helps big time. be very careful, i cracked the black trim part when i took mine out.

you can use a razor to cut away the stuff holding the lamp to the trunk

if brute force doesn't work...... you're not using enough of it.
