Default Quick Questions

Theres probably a better place to post this, but I figured its a quick question that can be answered by pretty much anyone. One of the screws holding my head cover on mysteriously walked off. I know it probably wont matter, but should I get another one from honda asap or just not worry about it and in the future sometime go get one. Oh and I have halos and halogens in my headlight casings, and one halo and one projector have gone out, does anyone know where to find replacements at?

Get a new valve cover bolt as soon as you can, it's not a big deal but I wouldn't drive around for a month without it.

The projector going out is just a blown bulb. Find out what size bulbs they are and get a new one. The halo is done for unless you want to do some majory surgery on your headlight.

Take out one of the others and go to advance auto parts and get a bolt with the same threads. I had to do the same thing when I stupidly tried to tourqe one of them down to 30FT POUNDS!!! That doesn't end well. But just a regular bolt with a washer will work. I have a few of the factory washers. PM your address and I will mail you one. I might even have one of the bolts.

Should I just go order one of the bolts from the honda dealership? And as for the halo, you can't order replacements?

^ if it is the halo ring that is gone, then you may as well forget about it, you have to take the whole housing apart and replace the LED,

You can't get replacement halo rings, you have one of two options, buy new headlights or, go out and buy some LED's, take apart the headlight housing, and replace the led's in the halos.< lot's of hard work and requires putting the headlight housing in the over to soften the sealent(i don't really recomend it unless you can find a real good DIY, i know there is a few on the net and i have a site bookmarked full of DIY's that has that in it, but i am at work right now

NEVER put a headlight in the oven. Use a heat gun.
