Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Thanks to Ben, it was fidly but actually straight forward after retrieving my Torx bit with some BluTac on a stick. I broke the magnet version years ago.

Four Torx bolts. One 180mm deep in the dark undone.
Remove top two but only loosen bottom two that hold slide in tabs.



I undid top gour screws on grille and spaced it away with screwdriver handle.

Move light out like this to get to modified bayonet type fixings.



I bought a replacement bulb, except the pins are offset but it needs directly opposed pins.

Thankfully I had some in my toolbox I made in 1981 for my first car.
When pliers and two screwdrivers plus a plug spanner fixed everything at the roadside.
Good old days.

Bulb fits in stalk.

Stalk is bayonet fitting too, only one way to fit it.




Of course Galaxy failed on a sidelight as well

I got a replacement. Regular type.

BUT it had LED types fitted.

So same process to remove headlight.



This was removed.



So now I have two different looking but working lights.


Could this be a fail again? I dont care at this point.







Only a rusty brake line left to be fixed or replaced by a real mechanic.

Then retest.
