2809, Whoo...sigh...projection headlights...
Posted by shengxlong, Apr-06-01 09:26 PM
So, today I finally embarked on self intalling something to my car. A while back, I would've just brought the item and went to the nearest shop and pay them to do it.

The projection headlights from an auction I won finally arrived on Friday. I never done anything on my car myself, other then bring it to a shop to have an intake and exhaust put in. When I got into an accident, I bought my car to the body shop and tossed on some projection headlights, a showoff bumper and sideskirts, and some altezza tails. I lent my car to a few friends and kablewie my car went. My bumper is near dead now. The sideskirts are dead.

Not trusting anyone anymore, I decided my friend and I would try to install the damn lights. There probably was a simple and better way to do it, but man, we didn't have the tools and my garage was cramped. We manually took of the showoff bumper and the original dead projection headlights. Finally got the new set in and found out my blinker bulbs went awol. We put in super reds for now which I think are illegal. :P After all this we checked the lights, woohoo! Boy does it feel nice to do that kind of work on your own. :) However, after putting back the bumper I realized my battery went dead. Sigh...one problem after another.

Question, is a battery hard to remove and install? So far, I only dabbled with the removal of front bumper and installation of projection headlights. Any help would be appreciated~!

Can I purchase a manual from somewhere that would help me install some fog lights, or other stuff and that I can reference to when I decide to get my hrc turbo kit?

did you try jumping the battery off another car yet?
its probably just out of charge and needs a jump and a good 20 minute running time.
then again it could be your alternator starting to fail or they battery may actually have died at the same time you were doing the headlights.

To remove the battery, all you gotta do is remove the tie-down bar, and unscrew the battery connections.
