Cool. Thx.

 

I have a 2005 accord ex and am looking to change the low beam headlights...i read the posts and bought the sylvannia 9006 st....went to a mechanic just to get an opinion...and he said it was a bad idea...cause these new lights will melt the harness....

i tried explaining to him that the wattage drawn is the same..but he still said these after market things hardly work...will work for a couple of weeks and then ur gonna have to get a new harness....bla bla....

what do yall say....to do or not to do?

 

He is probably one of those people who hates aftermarket headlight and feels annoyed by someone with brighter headlight. try a few more mechanics and see what they.
BTW the posts here are from people who have actualy done it and never had any probs with them so its your call.

 

hmm...i can see that..but he also said...these are the cheapest ones...if u want a better bulb..get it from a honda dealer..those things cost about $50 a pop but theyre the reliable ones...dont know how much truth is there to it...

quick question regarding the change though...the manual says to rotate the tires to the right to change the left bulb..and vice versa...and u have to take the inner fender out by takin those rubber clips out...tried one of em..broke em...(what a nub! i know)...any other easier way.....

 

^^ sorry to hear about what happened, throw that manual in the trash. The bulbs are very easy to change and you dont have to remove the fender or turn the wheels. Just unplug the white connector by puling it down and then twist the bulb.
BTW your mechanic sucks, get another one.
Edit: Make sure the engine is completely cold before you do.

 

thanks shonny..u rock...i changed those things out myself...wasnt hard at all...the left side was kinda weird..had to take the filter out...couldnt get the bulb in clean...but it works now...my first mod!!!

i saw ur profile on cardomain ...the interior vinyl stuff that u have is PHAT!!!!! ..what color do u think would go with black exterior n beige interior....?

thanks again

 

Thanks for the compliment. All the silver vinyl that I have came with the car on Black interior and I love it. Beige usualy comes with wood but you can put whatever color u want but try to match with exterior color.
Let me know if you ever need any help and goodluck with the car.
