This close up shows the few undamaged teeth on the damaged adjuster I took apart, fortunately the headlights I was replacing had undamaged electric adjusters. To swap out the adjusters, the whole electrical adjuster unit can be removed from the headlamp - it is a bayonet-like fitting on the...

Before and after headlamps - note that the whole bumper has to be removed to swap them, Both replacement headlamps were bought used on the internet, the driver's side headlamp came from Southampton, the passenger's side headlamp came from Cumbria. Both appeared to be 'as new' - probably...

A word about screwdrivers, the Up/Down Adjuster has a plastic cog as the adjuster, if you use the wrong size screwdriver to adjust it you WILL strip the gear on the adjuster, The correct size screwdriver is a Philips # 2 - not the smaller Philips #1 see pic below (The sorry component in the...

I've completed my upgrade of the stereo in my 2001 Accord 1.8i Sport Having made the speaker rings to allow 17cm speakers in the front doors, I finally settled on Pioneer TS-G1723i speakers which are rated at 250W, and have 3 way drive units (Bass Midrange and tweeter) in a compact chassis...

Made the rings in 9mm and 12mm MDF today Elf and Safety - MDF has some things in it you don't want in your lungs - boring, but safe! Start the rings by drilling a starter hole for the jigsaw Then cut the rings - inside first, then outside They came out as designed and fit the grille we...

You can remove and disconnect the door's switch panel just after removing the interior handle, which makes removing the door card whole lot easier. spring the switch panel up at the front from the front clip, then move it forwards to remove it, there is just a plastic lug at the rear which...

Having checked the fitting, a standard mdf ring won't work for a 6.5 inch Pioneer speaker (the screws into the car would have to go through the speaker cone!) There is a further option - a stepped mdf ring, allowing the lower of the two to screw into the existing holes in the door, and the...

True - there's nothing wet in there.

I've got a 2001 Accord with standard front door speakers, the fixing is by 3 screws in a triangular mount - where can I get an adapter to fit 6.5 inch aftermarket speakers with 4 hole mounting Here is a pic of the standard speakers
