    Headlight

    I'm trying to take off my right side headlight and i can only find 3 bolts. Where's the 4th one. i need better lighting in this garage. i can't see much in here.

    One last question ( unrelated ) I'm checking out my hoses ( stock ) and i'm seeing another layer of rubber covering some sections of the hose. Does this extra layer serve a purpose?

    there are 4 bolts. 2 near the grille, one on top and one near the turn signal

    as for that hose, it shouldn't be seperating lol...

    That extra layer of hose serves as a heat shield for those hoses that come close to the manifold and other hot parts. In the case of the fuel lines, you'll see a clear covering that's supposed to do the same thing. If you replace any lines, I'd suggest replacing that shielding. I reused it when I installed my silicone hoses. Just slip the original hose out of it and then slip it ovewr the replacement hose.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.

    Aren't silicone hoses better for high temp than rubber? Thanks for the info guys.
