    Glad to have u back eric. It pleases me

      And to make the headlight removable u could have went to your parts Mustang and cut out a factory plug with the correct number of wires and use that

    • @ericthecarguy

      Or gotten a new one from Amazon like I did with my radiator fans on the Ford. ;)

    Welcome back Eric, i really missed ya. These days quality content on this platform is thin and hard to come by in the proportions that it used to be. And as someone who watches videos online for their "therapeutic" and relaxing effect late in the day after work, know that i appreciate your channel a lot. A very lot.

      in general black zip ties seem to hold up well over time as opposed to the white ones, which get yellow and brittle more quickly. I buy them by the hundred from Harbor Freight.

    Nicely done Eric. Never Seize or some other type of product is a must. I think I have mentioned this before but when I was working with ROV's we used AquaLube because Never Seize in a salt water environment especially into Aluminum caused issues due to Electrolysis because of the metals in Never Seize. AquaLube always worked and never washed away. Great job Eric.

  • @Zapharus
    @Zapharus 6 років тому

    Eric!! Love your videos, man!
    They came in very handy when I used to work on my 2008 Element SC. I had to part ways with my Ellie because some drunk driver smashed into it pretty badly in the middle of the night while my car was parked curbside, he totalled my Ellie. If that hadn't happen I'd kept the Ellie forever. Had to get a new car. It's still very satisfying to watch your videos.
    Hopefully one day Honda brings back the Ellie with a more capable engine.

    I glad you took the time you needed!
    One thought. Generally I agree with mixing spades up.
    But the way it is now, if you take them out. Someone can connect the pos and neg together.
    And when it comes to soldering your wires before crimping. When you have uninsulated like you used, you can flow solder in after crimp.
    I like doing that when I have the time.
    Thanks again for the videos.
    These are just my dumb little thoughts. :)

    Very nice upgrade. I do recall the vid with the comparison of different headlights and IIRC the LED was the best in terms of length of the beam also, which living in Michigan I definitely would want. Really glad to have you back, I, along with so many others missed your regular vids.
    Btw, I was a huge fan of the Fairmont series, and I did miss those regular vids, but understood your position it.

    Great to have you back Eric. And very greatfull you put those crimps on. I almost went mad over it. A little note, soldering and then crimping can cause bad crimps. Also those insulated crimps you spoke about arent weather proof. You can spray wax oil over the top to help with corrosion prevention. Also ebay do have oem style 2 way weather proof connectors like Fiat use

    When it comes to removing a headlight assembly, the best design I have seen is on the Volvo XC90. The steps are:
    Open hood, pull two L shaped metal strips up and remove the assembly. That's it, no tools required, takes 15 seconds and if the assembly needs to come fully off, there's one plug. I love them.
