Replaced my light bulbs

Today I replaced my headlight bulbs, turn signal bulbs, fog light bulbs, and the interior dome light bulb. Man, that was the easy. It took 20 minutes to do. That includes stopping after each set to make sure they work properly. The first time I replaced my headlights in my old Civic, they took thirty minutes alone. I thought the fog lights would take longer than they did, but I was surprised.

Now I can't wait to try them out after dark

Congrat! By the way, is there a way to remove the orange part at the corner of the headlights? Thx in advance.

from what i've read....... you have to take the bumper off. take the headlight assembly out, heat the light assembly heat gun or by baking for a few minutes in a low temp. oven, then crack the amber reflector out and reseal the headlights. i have'nt done this yet but i want to.

yea, i've heard that also, but the thing is it's an illegal modification, i think, that's b/c you wont have a sidemarker on the side, the pro5 has clear headlights, b/c there's a marker on the side bumper. correct me if im wrong

Yeah. I was told that you need a amber reflector of some sort forward of the front wheelwell. If want to do it, Aaron is correct with the process.

I think its great. I wanted a stick, my girlfriend said auto. No, you don't need to let off the gas when you shift it. You can even start in auto, change to autosport while speeding up, get to a speed you want, and put it back into overdrive. I still feel a little guilty not using a clutch, but it's much easier in stop and go traffic.
