    The lights are meant to last the life of the vehicle so they don't make them very accessible.

    Thats where I was at Thanks anyway. I'm getting my brakes done today and they will have it jacked up and the tires off anyway, you can get to the lights from behind when the tires off, so Im going to have them swap 'em out for me.

    Hey, I was laughing at the truth in your post and the cleverness...

    I don't have a fancy car and many a time I thought pieces of it would end up in the park behind my house

    I had no idea this thread was here, really

    I don't even know where this section resides on the forum until someone bumps

    not at all....I seriously didn't see this and started tearing mine apart at around 630...couldn't do shit by myself and then had my Pa help me around 10 pm when he got home.

    3 people and myself see that the whole left brake light bank is out, I rip mine apart, check all 5 bulbs, everything looks fine and just ended up putting it back together. Works so far....

    I knew with my car, after driving it on roads following gravel trucks for the first 15 years of its life would need new headlight lenses. So when I was moved to a different office, I had 'em done by a bodyshop. $50 for used parts and $200 for labour!

    Glad I did it, because now my car is 20 years old and the parts availability has dried up (a Nissan). They say with the Tsunami and the resulting catastrophe, Nissan had a subsiduary factory that was nearly wiped out - they told me it was a lot of the old parts were destroyed and retooling and remaking the parts is not in the equation.

    So guys, don't buy an old Nissan - the parts availability will be crap from mother Japan!!!

    I had toyed with the idea of bringing it back to new specs (wouldn't take much) and getting collector plates when it turns 25 but now, with no parts available, dunno how I can.

    I can buy a replacement sun visor but for $80 used and I must ship it from Toronto!!! I'd be better off doing what my buddy did and buy a 45 year old MGB and restoring it -- it'd be cheaper!
