Those HID ahead lights are the worse idea Honda ever had, aside from the access. And the OEM bulbs are $139.00. Each

WOW I'm glad I never had to replace mine. Probably would have converted to LED if that happened.

[@touvue1]

139 is not that bad, it’s better than replacing a whole new headlight with these modern car that has led in them

boi I tell you what I was changing my gear oil in my toyota with one of those fancy pump things and I was pumping it when the line decided to come off and cover my face in gear oil 😐

[@6thGearGarage]

Hahaha, the times you wish you had a camera on, right?

Thanks very informative

[@6thGearGarage]

You're welcome

[@b-dawg3518]

is there a way I can just turn off the egr value instead of removing it

[@6thGearGarage]

You could try putting a thin piece of sheet metal with RTV on both sides in place of the gasket, but I'm not sure how that would work. I did it on a mustang once.

[@b-dawg3518]

@@6thGearGarage I might try that

Man, they don't make anything easy, do they, lol. Nice video.

[@6thGearGarage]

You got that right! Rust doesn't help.

I have a 2004 acura tsx I have a fender and a hood that does not enclose together, could it be some sort of bracket? I also have a bracket when you open the hood, it is above the headlight, that is bended inwards, and a part of the right side hood that is bended, but somewhat straightened out. May I ask for some assistance? We can privately message one another and hopefully you can help, if not I understand.

[@6thGearGarage]

It sounds like your car was in an accident and the front end is out of spec. Maybe they replaced just the headlight and called it a day? I have a video of a car with this issue and showed how to adjust the fender to match the hood line, but it is a Camry, not TSX. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWfIYYOpbLZskNE

@@6thGearGarageYes , it was in an accident while it was raining. Wheels skidded on the road, and hit the passenger side fender and headlights, along with the bumper. Do you also know, when the engine is running, near the right side of the headlight, there is a knocking sound. Could something be loose? And I did not take it in anywhere yet, I removed the broken headlight, so there is none at the moment. But do you know what could be causing the knocking sound?

[@6thGearGarage]

@@xoad9566 On the passenger side of the engine is where all of the components are (ac compressor, power steering) so if the impact was hard enough, one of those could be damaged, but unlikely as that would be a major accident. Did it only start knocking after the accident?

[@xoad9566]

@@6thGearGarageyes it started knocking after the accident. I checked the area and the frame where the headlights were, pushed back a bit but it did not touch the ac line. I did not turn on the ac, or the heat though when i would sit in the car after the accident to see if anything would happen. The bracket obviously broke, that held the fender and bumper together. I did not check the power steering area though.
