Yeah sorry it was a P2004 code error message - copy of print out attached? http://i44.tinypic.com/2s695bp.jpg The code was cleared and so far hasn't come back and the car was running fine with it on the whole time not missing or anything BUT I have experienced severe jerkiness - like WTF - in...

Hi, My local garage just diagnosed (for free) a P2104 fault code which led me to this thread. I've an 06 2.2 diesel accord with about 84K on the clock. The yellow warning light came on as I started a 450mile during a business trip to Warrington!. I have had the light come on before accompanied...

OK I'll give it a go thanks !

OK Dave thanks - is this something that needs to replaced if worn or a squirt of WD40 or grease might cure ? Cheers

Hi Guys, I've noticed a sort of squeaking noise fom the rear of my car which could be the leaf? springs or suspension in need of a squirt of WD40 or summat like that. Does anyone know the cause of this other than age (66K on clock) / maintainence schedule in this area which has probably never...

Hi MeatyChi, I removed the headlights and I don't believe it is possible to replace the OE bulbs with HID bulbs - and ***ociated kit - without doing this although I believe some have ? It is fairly easy to do even for a rank amateur like me ;-) Good luck !!

Hi J4JAV, Do you have any before and after pics that I can follow (for both the electrode and light beam pattern) ? PS. I know you said you have done this many times are you a mechanic ? Cheers 1050rat

J4JAV, Will they not break ?! The electrode is wire at the top but ceramic fixed into the plastic base so it will only move at a slight angle. Are you sure ?! Cheers I

It ain't just me...more posts on another different users forum here >> http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?18773-HID-shadow-in-light-pattern-*solved* in addition to the VW one posted above. My investigations will continue unabated......it is minor but nonetheless annoying so needs...

Brett, Thanks for the point in the right direction. From what I've been reading here >> http://www.passatworld.com/forums/68-b5-garage/301826-way-do-i-put-my-hid-bulbs.html these owners suggest the electrode should face down in projector lenses to avoid the shadows we are all experiencing ...

Having completed an install of 6000K HID's at the weekend I have become aware of two small shadows in front of the car which further (google) research suggests is due to the earth electrodes pointing up in the bulb holder when they should be pointing down. Having tried to rectify this tonight I...

Cliff, Night Breakers in the high beams is a good idea for a little extra lift - did you notice much change to the OE bulbs ? PS. I got my dipped HID's fitted today - what a difference !! Just back from a 40 mile test run and no "flashes" to speak of - bring on the bad weather I say (but not...

Neat thanks :D

Yeah I was at this for a while you'll find the bumper is wedged in there pretty firmly such you will need to apply a good bit of measured force to free it. I got my fingers in around the back and tugged it off bit by bit - the clamps that hold it in place are pretty strong. You'll find a reply...

Many thanks for the reply Jayok I'll have another look and let you know how I get on (will probably be next weekend now). PS. Wouldn't access to a Honda Accord parts micro fiche be useful do you know if there is any such thing available (I have online access to one when working on my bike which...

Hi CLiff, I got very close to completing this yesterday (removing bumper etc) but came unstuck trying to locate the final bolt to remove the headlamp (location queried on the original thread). That and heavy rain was forecast so I had put whole thing back together. I didn't realise that the top...

Many thanks Faz for taking the time to write this up it inspired me to "have a go this afternoon" getting oh so near yet so far to completing the task. Unfortunately for me I came unstuck trying to find this mysterious fourth bolt that holds the headlamp ***embly in place ? I am working on an...

Thanks Cliff ! I note that post deals with removing and replacing the headlamps themselves such I would question is it necessary to go this far when all we want to do is fit the HID kit to existing lamps (get cover off to drill hole etc) ? I can see the benefit of them being out of the way when...

Thanks Paul. Makes sense and to get a decent mounting position for the ballasts...ho hum...do you have any idea where I can get supplies of the brittle connectors I've read about (be prepared and all that) ? Cheers Fraser

Nae problems, sounds as if the bumper needs to come off and yeah the weather has been poor. Might have a go tomorrow.... Cheers Fraser
