jeeze. that sucks. guess you shoulda blew the $4 on the m4's and had a good looking set that still worked too huh? shame.

 

so does anyone have instructions on installing these on a 2001 GS?
like how to take apart that emergency trunk exit lever thing?

seeing upstateGS's trunk, i really want to get the M4s now
btw, MrG4Life, does ur GS have DRL? what happens when u turn high beam on for the front lights that u have M4s in also?
or are they M6?

 

UBER-
this is a really easy install. pop all the little push in plastic clips off that liner on the underside of the trunklid. SAVE ALL OF THESE DO NOT BE FORCEFUL. IF YOU BREAK THEM YOU WILL WANNA KICK YOURSELF IN THE FACE LATER ON WHEN ITS TIME TO RE INSTALL. the liner will come right down after you do this. when the underside of the trunklid is exposed, you CANNOT miss the location of these lights. the bulbs PULL out and PUSH in. the sockets that hold the bulbs each need to be twisted left or right to take them out of the trunklid. you cant screw this up my dog helped me with my install its easy as knocking a fat kid out in dodgeball.

 

thanks
does your GS have the trunk exit lever though?
i read that its a b**** and a half to remove and reinstall

btw does anyone know how long M4 polarg is supposed to last?

 

I've had my in for close to 5 months no problems.

 

yeah- polargs for the trunk lights is the way to go...

the LED bulbs burn out too quickly and it's a PIA to get the inner trunk cover off to swap them out each time. I've had to swap mine already and I need to do it again. this time i'm going with the polargs. bought 3 sets for the long haul... i always buy stuff in bulk.

 

Holy crap that's funny

 

It took me 20 minutes to install them. The hardest part is taking those clips off. There are a total of 9 clips you have to remove. I used a screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers. Boy i hope those last a few years.

 

i just bought 2 packs of these M4s
gonna put 2 into licence plate area
and 2 into the wedge bulb in the inner front lights
(not the high beams but the wedge bulbs under the high beam bulbs)

when handling these M4's, do we need to avoid touching them with our bare hands and have to use gloves or paper to grab them?

 

I guess I would. The guy I got mines from supplied latex gloves with the bulbs I purchased.

 

Yes! Use latex gloves, you don't want to get oil from your fingers on the bulb.

 

looks like im more stupid than upstateGS4's dog
lol

i took off 8 clips for the trunk liner
but the emergency trunk exit lever is holding the surrounding liner on so i cant pull it down all the way

i now have access to the bulb harness on the right hand side but cant get it off to install the bulb

how do i get to the bulb? do i need to take the trunk handle bar off?
and do i need to disassemble the emergency trunk exit lever in order to swap the lights for the left side?

 

lol my dog aint stupid haahaaa I just said she could help because her paws are smaller then my fat hands! anyway..from a lot of past experience u don't need goves for these types of bulbs. just make sure ur hands are clean.. but headlights and hids u should definitely not be touchin the bulb w bare hands

 

heh

good thing you are online
so what do i do after removing the trunk liner, if i can remove it fully

 

come on man! this is self explanatory. don't even sound like u even tried. u can't miss the sockets and wiring if u use comon sense and look in the back of the lid where you can obviously tell the lights r located from the front near the plate area. the sockets twist out n u throw the bulb in and reinstallation is the reverse of removal. if u don't get up in there and just try ur always gonna think everything is more complicated then it really is
