Patience is def needed to tackle a project like this.

For any one who wants to do a simple retrofit, the Morimoto Mini H1 is as simple as it can get. A literal drop in projector with decent performance. Any novice can tackle the mini h1.

How did you mount you projectors? Epoxy?

It says a sel and no starts a result and could be the battery or alternator but my battery is new and alternator I think is fine or else I wouldn't bramble to still drive the car if it doesn't keep a charge. So I'm gonna try to disconnect the battery a d put it back to as what happens

I dunno about the cel or codes..but I wouldn't doubt he's dead on about the fuse. I had it happen when I replaced my rear dome light (sunroof equipped) bulb with a led version. Its one of the fuses in the yellow fuse puller in the fuse box under the hood. Gonna need neddle nose pliers if you don't have a fuse puller. What you do is take the lid of the fuse box..then you'll see 2 fuses seperated from the rest by a yellow part. To remove the fuses you gotta pull up on the yellow part. Until you do that it keeps tension around the fuses preventing them from being pulled out. With new fuse in hand, slide it back in the yellow puller while holding the puller to keep it from moving back down as you push the fuse in. Only when the fuse is fully in the yellow puller, do you push it back down in the fusebox. Keep in mind the puller shouldn't come completely out the box..only slide up and down. Now your interior lights, radio, windows, and locks should work. To prevent it from happening again..take pos batt cable of until bulb is in.

Nuts and bolts. Drilled through the reflector and used long bolts to keep it in place.

Yeah I'll def look into that becaus my windows work whn the car is on and usually five seconds after its turned off but now it doesn't do that five second thing

^Yeah I don't know about the whole FR generator circuit code but for your dome light/radio/door lock issue, the under hood fuse thing should work out. 8thLS6 is spot on.

Ok I'll take a look and door locks still work. Just the dome light and radio doesn't, everything else does

When mine went, my keyless stopped working.

Hmmm weird, I really hope it's just a fuse because my remote starter, locks, and trunk are still intact

You have an aftermarket remote start? It's wired differently if so, so it wouldn't be affected by the fuse being blown, it's got its own circuit. I'm assuming the locks and trunk are controlled by it too.

Yes you're right and I guess thats why. Is it weird that I think it's weird that my ac/heat is still working?

That is a feature that IIRC you must have the driver door closed for it to work after switch the ignition to off.

Cars vary, may or may not work. Remote start is separate from said fuse. Trunk light will still work for the alarm as a trigger since its negative, even if the bulb isn't lighting. As for locks, I'm not quite sure, it's possible that they will still work off the interior switch and just the keyless module stops working.

A/c & heat is separate.

$4.019/gallon for premium.

Because I'm traveling nearly 100 miles a day for training, this is the second time this week I put this much gas in the G. Good thing I'm getting about 320 miles to a tank and training is over with on Monday!
