HEY!!! need answers quick
I'm in the middle of painting my headlight housing black and i was wondering for those who have done this if you heated the old glue/putty and put the headlight back to gether that way or if you used addistional glue / putty

ps. its almost 12pm the car needs to be out of the garage by tomorow and the glue that i haveis white not black like i thought

[Black8GV6]

There should be enough glue from when you pulled them apart, just reheat, connect the pieces, then use like a big C-clamp with cloth to keep pressure so it seals good

[Palmz]

Thanks for the tips wouldnt have tought of useing c grips :)

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the 99-01 headlights were chrome housing finish, while the 02-03 were black housing finish? The fitment is the same though, so you can keep your grill. But your requirement of going with with the 03 front would require you to change the grill, if you go with the 03 bumper cover as well. Remember the 03 has a nose between the two grills, while the 99-01 has the single grill with a bumper cover without a nose.

Alright dont want to start a new thread about this since these problem dont realy bug me thaaat much but here i go;

When i back up into my parking spot ( i go from making a full left turn and hit reverse and make a full right turn) there is a litle squeaky noise from the steering i think its from the steering rack, does not happen if i do a full right turn and then a full left turn and only happens when i hit reverse between these two turns. and yes there is enough fluid on the power steering resivor it does have a small leak tho (the only leak my 140k mile galant has) i mean ive gotten to a point where i only check on it when i do oil changes and that stuff usually full

another problem my exhaust is hitting my rear swaybar at low rpm (stock exhaust btw and stock swaybar) and it makes a rumbling noise and i rev the car a little the noise goes away, haven't realy looked that much into this one im suspecting a broken motor mount but then again this is almost as far away from motor mount u could be.

please if anyone has any tips or tricks please reply and sorry for my bad grammar

these problems have bin going on for months never realy bug me that much unless someone in the passanger seat has the nerve to point them out ( I need ejector seats )

[foxbrand]

That squeak could be your power steering belt, also check your tie rods (thinking worst case). Finally, how old are your tires?

Check the hangers and the rubber from hanger-to chassis mounts. That also suspiciously sounds like a loose heat shield to me, what engine do you have?

[Palmz]

2.4l I4 my tires are only about a year old lots of tread left the one back tire is fkn old tho its on its last breath and waiting to get changed out

[2002BlackDragon]

Yeah, I'd check the power steering pump/belt. And the exhaust could be a hanger or the rubber on the hanger. Or a heat shield somewhere.

Does any part of the gauge cluster besides the odometer use a 74 bulb? My key ring isn't lighting properly but the led is good, so now I have one to spare. Already have the odom, cig lighter, hvac, and ash tray led equipped. Anywhere else I can use a 74 bulb?

Thanks
