Noob's First Mod! Yeeehaw!

by **P Funky** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 5:23 pm

Okay, so it's not really a "mod" in the way that any serious person would consider it, but I did change out my headlights for Sylvania Silverstars! It was awesome, I got all greasy, and there were moments of danger and drama, and I got cuts and scrapes on my hands (using gloves next time, fo' shiz), and it started raining (hard) 3 minutes after I finished, which would have screwed it up, I think.

So... anyway... I am victorious. Yay.

i suggest you keep it simple from now on lol.

adding an air freshener could be your next safest candidate

One day my friend....
You aint been greasy til you find yourself under the car. And that will be a glorius day when you learn the purpose of pumice.

Since your a newb, I'll ask...Did ya touch the bulb itself w/out gloves on? If so, get ready to re-"mod". Any of that grease ya got into or even the oils on your fingers will cause your bulbs to blow in record time.

Just looking out. Other than that, grab a :drinking:

One of the few mods that has a how-to in the manual.

I had to take out my battery. My hands could not squeeze between on the drivers side bulb.

Yep I agree with djsaltine. Be wery, wery careful.

Here's the trick. If you get grease on the bulbs, the bulbs should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol. Just use a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to clean the glass surface area of the bulb. Also, let the alcohol dry off (it dries with in 2 minutes). After all this is complete, the bulbs will be ready to install. :wink:

Dont feel bad, my first "mod" though I dont really think it counts was black emblems. LOL

Hey, yeah, I actually did know that grease thing, and I didn't touch 'em! Yay for me!

And the lack of space between the battery and the bulb housing was, sadly, the source of all my problems. I got past it though, using basically my fingertips, haha.

I need to know where that sign is.

I see one sign for the Garden State Parkway which runs through jersey so I'm thinking its were the GSP hits the NY thruway...Ive been there before (on the way to a really trashy club that I'm never going back to...all you North Jersians know EXACTLY which club I'm talkin about) and I dont remember ever seeing that sign.

EDIT - I think I found it....I think its on Rt-59 west of....this

And that sign didnt even mention Rt-17 which is that road on the left. I'll hunt it down one day, its about a half hour from my house.
