    how do you open a driving light?

    I was having some fun (read: till gunter stopped bonnet first and floor flooded) in the pig pen at ripley and my new hid driving light filled with mud/water.

    how do you open a driving light to clean/empty it?

    Usually most of them will unscrew counter clockwise holding the reflector housing

    Farkem mate. Outrageous!!

    This is not your problem.

    If they are full of muddy water they are Rooted mate. The reflector is unforgiving and it is now wrecked! You WILL NOT clean it without scratching it and they will NEVER be the same again.

    Rip them off, send them back and make ALLOT of noise.

    JUNK.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    if there is no screw underneath or they do not twist apart, they will be sealed (supposedly) which means throw em in the bin or send them back for a refund.

    If they are sealed, once you break the seal they will be knackered anyway.
