It's a second gen with a 99 spoiler unpainted, I have the 99 headlights and potentially getting the 99 bumper, so I was wondering what would everyone prefer?

1. Take off the spoiler, leave it spoiler-less, leave it as second gen
2. buy a stock spoiler, paint it blue, leave it as second gen
3. Leave the spoiler on, complete the 99 conversion

By the way exterior is in perfect condition

one thing I'm concerned about, if I decide to paint the spiler/bumper it will not match 100% factory paint I'm assuming ]]> Miscellaneous vr4much http://www.3si.org/forum/f11/need-opinion-spoiler-conversion-479692/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f11/hid-h3-fog-install-mod-2nd-gen-479458/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:24:15 GMT Got HID in my headlight thus making the fogs look funny with its yellowish output. The yellow is really pronounce when flooded by the white of the HID. So the thought was to get some regular bulbs that were whiter like the Silverstar or Piaa units. After seeing prices in the $50-$100 I said the hell with that and went with HID since it was cheap ($42 shipped). I had already bought my headlight HID and they were 6000k so I figure what the heck lets see what 4300k looks like so I got that for the fogs. Turns out to be pretty nice with the fogs slightly yellow compared to the 6000k headlights. The 4300k definitely puts out much more lights (well percieved anyway). I would recommend anyone thinking of doing it go for 4300k all around. When you have them both going together, you can really see the difference. The fogs 4300k were 35watts while my headlights 6000k were 55watts! and still the 4300k were brighter. Save your money and get the 35watts too. 55watts is overkill, but I didn't know it at the time. Oh well live and learn. Anyway on to the install/mod. I'm not going to show how to remove the fog or anything like that. I just took the whole thing out with the braket attached because it was easier for me, Gear wrench help alot :) First thing I notice after taking the fog apart was that there is no where to get all that wiring through the outer casing and into the back of the projector. Then I also notice that the HID bulb has a huge rear end. The casing isn't deep enought to accomodate the back of the bulb! The following sequence of pictures shoulb be self explanatory on what you need to do. NewB at this so hope the pictures shows.




You need the larger one of this at Harbor Freight


Drill out the back of the housing using low speed on a drill press or hand drill. The step drill bit makes drilling such a large hole so easy. Kudos to whoever invented this!



Drill until you can get the largest plug through and no more!


Feed all the wires through along with the attached grommet on the HID bulb and hook them up.


Put projector back in, there is plenty of room in the back to tuck the wires.

Having an issue were my lock actuators are engaging without pushing the lock button on the switch. So far I've checked the continuity of all the wires to and from the lock relay for the lock and unlock commands as well as the actuator motor. So there are no shorts in the door on the drivers side. I still have to check the passenger side. I have checked to relay for function and continuity and its fine. One thing I do not understand is that the circuit diagram shows two relays and I've found the one under the dash but the one behind the driverside rear panel has the wrong colored wires and does not look like the right relay. the only other relay under that panel is the intermitten wiper relay. I just do not understand how the switch is getting bypassed. Any help would be appreciated?

I was driving down the street and and all of sudden all gauges were at 0 position. No turn signals work, No speed, oil, votage, temp gauges, no windows. I checked fuses and sure TURN fuse was blown. I replaced it with new one-15amp and that one instanly burned. I put 20Amp and that one burned. I am not sure what is happening or where "short" could be. All lights-headlights, brake, position and hazards blinkers work. Regular turn signals dont work.

"Turn" fuse burns at same time when ignition is applied with the key.No crazy radios or amps in it. Car starts and drives fine. Please let me know what could cause problems.
