I had no choice, I don't trust anybody else working on my car .

I'm going to try to wash the car and take some shots with the A-Spec kit on it, so I'll make sure and get some close ups of the wheels.

Yeah if you don't have to swap springs or top hats, then by hand is fine. But, if you had to compress and release coil springs 8 times by hand with a screw compressor, that would really suck. Tein & H&R's coilover kits don't come with top hats for the 3G TL, so you have take apart the OEM coil/shock or buy new top hats. Megan's come pre-assembled with top hats, so it's an easy swap. It's just infinitely quicker and easier with an impact.

I actually have one of these:

They are cheap, but if you don't use them all the time, they are fine for stuff like compressing springs, etc. I've had mine for a couple of years and it works great. Definitely cheaper than buyers a compressor, etc.

Yea i know i dont really need air tools for coilovers,powerflow/Justin brought the the idea up just incase we have hard times getting some bolts out and want to do Ralph's springs install. I just got a duralast Torque wrench from autozone tonight,so im sure its gonna help out.

Anybody knows how to wire a switch for fogs? I'm trying to change my 01-03 civic fog switch to my accords oem switch. Ive been trying to do it all morning but ive been failing.

SaifTL

^^ yea i would have no idea how to wire the halos

Umm i was just thinking,how bout wiring it to your parking lights? That way you can have it when ur parking/healights are on.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

Emmanual, did you get wiring figured out?

Bada$$VTEC

iTrader: (1)

Nope,been burning fuses all day..no more fogs for me til i can find who's gonna help me do it.


Edit: The wiring diagram im following says a specific color for wires on the civic but my own civic wires have different ones.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

I wish i could mess with cars all day. as it seems like thats all you do


You're a smart kid tho, you can figure out the fogs!

Haha i pretty much babysitting my cousins since i didnt go to summer school (also gettin paid for it). And yea i also mess with my cars sometimes,just painted my rear H emblem gloss black and installed my fujita CAI.

I dont think im ready to blow up another fuse box,cause after when i first installed this fogs my radio and cig lighter stopped working. But then i got new fuse box and rewired it to my power side mirrors.I dont think i wanna try this switch like i did with my first attempt on install, I'll prolli just look for a shop to help me wire it if nobody can do it.

I know how that feels bro,but look on the bright side ur car is coming out with fresh paint looking like new. How much longer do u think its gonna be there?

powerflow

Hopefully they do a good job. Imperfections stick out like a sore thumb on black.

wow man. better make sure it doesnt happen again or ur insurance will drop you. get some camera's installed around. sleep in the car with a shot gun. lol.

its very easy man. do u have harness along with the accord switch? post what color the wires are.

Bada$$VTEC

iTrader: (1)

Here's the wiring pic of what i was following . My own civic harness dont match the ones in this diagram (eBay for the loss),so i guess thats why i was having problems wiring it myself. My own civic harness has 1 yellow,2 red and 1 black as opposed to the above diagram. The left side of the diagram is the civic side (ignore the blue wire,not included) while the right is the fog light switch(My switch has 5 pin outs while the civic has 4)

nspec_ya4

iTrader: (38)

so this is how the civic switch is right now? those are the wires going into the current switch?

and what do the wires coming out of the accord switch look like?

import4life

SaifTL I would highly recommend getting an extra set of headlights from the junkyard just in case the oven decides to melt your headlights and your sh*t out of luck. Not trying to scare you but its possible. Also when I did my bros headlight on his 3G TL I went with 220 degrees for 20 minutes and they came apart with ease. Let me know when you guys are meeting up to do all these jobs I might have time to swing by and give ya'll a hand.

powerflow

I used heat gun on mine, worked really good.

It's a good idea to replace the silica packs too.

I emailed the administrator and waiting for his reply.

I've done black housing on two of my cars (My Accord and old '02 civic) and i never melted or even broke anything when opening the headlights apart. The only problem i ran into the first time was fogging and thats cuz i used to same old oem silicone glue on the headlights. I actually used some Toyota Prius forums' DIY to do it the first time and i did it right.

Yes those are the wires thats supposed to be connected to current switch,and the civic switch is just like that except for the colors of the wires on them.
I just used some old HID harness for the accord switch,i used "sub D connectors" i got from radio shack to attach them to the pins on the switch.

haha same thing happened to me bro when i first tried to sign up,so i used my isp email to sign up but then i never got a confirmation email. Try using ur ISP or work email,it'll work..then pm me the email and ur screen name so i'll post it in the "awaiting activation list".

Nah, work is work. I ain't tryin to muddy up my work email with personal business.
I dumped my ISP email long ago for my gmail. And I'm not trying to sign up for another email address.
HI.com wasnt meant for me!

SaifTL

Hey man thanks for the heads up.. im thinking about waiting a bit before i clear the headlights. for now i want the hids.

Well the TL is gonna be in the shop till the end of the month, still gotta buy the a-spec body kit and other little small things to make it stand out when its done.

SaifTL

Anybody else think the g35 coupe is a douche bag car?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

LOLOLOL saif you're funny man.


and you're going for a higher temp HID bulb?

Bada$$VTEC

iTrader: (1)

I kinda think G35/350z/M3 drivers are cocky,JMO...and if you were going with a higher kelvin than oem in ur TL,i'll stick to 6000k.
LOL, well i guess no H-I for u but i dont know its its possible to get an at&t yahoo email w/o having to be a customer; cuz thats what i used for my H-I...and i have never got an email there for any pm's even tho i checked the box to always send me emails when i get one.

Bada$$VTEC

iTrader: (1)

Oh,and is anybody going to the Access Zero Meet on the 21st?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

Saif, try to stay in between 4300k and 6000k for the best light output.
anything higher looks cool but wont give you the same visibility as stock.
I heard visibility sucks in the rain with anything above 6000k.

Emmanual, I don't really care for joining another forum. I'll just stick to azine!
8:30AM HERE WE COME!!!!!!!
hopefully we're done by 11 or so, cuz I dont want to be stuck in the HOT ass SUN!
