    Brake Lights From Hell

    Per the TEWD the connections detailed in that writeup should do the trick. Although, if the TEWD is accurate, the third brake light won't function unless you also connect the red wire with the white stripe to the red wire with the blue stripe and the green w/white wires. To adjust the taillight...

    Changing Head Gasket

    The colors on mine alternate, but we've had a couple members who've had the same color clips for all of their injectors... besides, I've seen a few posts were people couldn't remember which goes first. At any rate, it never hurts to be thorough. Especially for a newbie. ;) (no, I'm not...

    how to get camshafts off?

    Just put a 10mm socket on one of the two bolts behind the gear that hold the rear timing belt cover in place and have at it... the gear's spoke will bind against the socket and you're set.

    Rain-sensing Wipers...

    Automatic headlights aren't too complicated. You could modify a circuit like this: http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/automotive/006/index.html for the job. Or build a circuit with a photocell or photodiode, a comparator and a latching relay. If you search on google you'll find several...

    Changing Head Gasket

    It's rather important. Without making sure the threads are straight and clear you may get a considerable amount of torque showing up on your wrench, but it's actually just because you're fighting the threads. Had you cleared them out you may have actually only been at 60ft lbs instead of the...

    Changing Head Gasket

    Don't forget the 12mm tap to chase the headbolt threads... I can't remember the pitch though, it's either 1.25 or 1.5.

    help with headlights please....

    If his fog lights aren't rewired they'll go out with the headlights from either a bad integration relay #2 or a bad headlight relay.

    vacum and wiring connector question

    The vacuum "tree" you show with the three branches at the top bolts to the front (of the car) on the side of the intake manifold. There's a smaller second one which mounts below the intake manifold (toward the rear of the engine). The EPC has the best diagrams for use as a reference...

    Seats

    Have you tried a search? There was a thread recently about some of the various options, including RSX, MKIV and Celica seats... I just can't remember the title.

    should my volts drop THAT much..?

    I only see mine move with the turnsignals and reverse lights.... and I know my wiring is in bad shape. In both cases though, my headlights do not dim. I've already started on renovating my electrical system, rebuilt my stock 70A alternator, put in a battery that's actually worth it's price...

    Fog light Shield removal ??

    Yup, wires are the primary concern... but it's not just the heat the bulb generates (not implying you didn't know this Kevin ;) ). Think of all the additional current you're trying to pull through aged wiring that was almost too small to begin with. The light pattern and height are both...

    Fog light Shield removal ??

    Perhaps get it chromed so it'll throw the light back into the main reflector... Your best bet really is doing a rewire and getting quality bulbs (and I'm not talking about those cheap 100W bulbs either, even if you get the good ones you risk damaging things due to the additional heat).

    Fog light Shield removal ??

    I'm sure it's purpose is more just to prevent the light from shining upward... unless it's inserted incorrectly. If you want more light rewire the fogs to pull directly from the alternator or the battery using a relay and buy some better bulbs. How do the lenses look? If they're frosted from...

    should my volts drop THAT much..?

    That's interesting... Personally I wouldn't just go relying on the stock meter, it could just be sticking.

    I just replaced my red top with a DieHard Platinum.

    should my volts drop THAT much..?

    The drop from my turn signals just bugs me... are you saying yours does all of the same stuff as RazoE's?
