DE YOKE FRONT INDICATORS 4TH GEN

Post by honda-hardy » Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:10 am

this is how i de-yoked my indicators.

before

Image

firstly you need to remove the front indicators by inserting a phillips screwdriver into the hole in the bumper by the number plate.

get a knife and insert it betwen the lense and the back housing.

Image

you end up with this.

Image

squeeze and pull out the orange defuser.

Image

then once that is removed you need to use clear araldite to stick the lense back on and let it set over night.

here is the finished item

This seems a little brutal! :o
I removed mine by using a soldering iron through the bulb hole.
You melt the orange plastic into pieces small enough to remove through the same hole.

There is a danger that you can melt the edges of the hole so you have to be careful, but at least the integrity of the seal isn't compromised. Mine turned out okay. :D

I've never heard of diadem bulbs. I used the chrome type. :?
Good write-up anyway! The results are the same. ;)
