I wonder how hard it is going to be to wire up new sockets for the 194A bulbs, cause when they stole the lenses, they just cut all the wires.

Just wait till I get an alarm, imma start sleeping on the roof of my house with a .22, and then when they try to steal something, I will shoot at em, probably miss and hit my car, and be even more pissed. :p

I can't believe that they were too lazy to twist the socket out of the housing instead of cutting it. Lazy theives, the worst kind.

At least now I have an excuse to rewire them so the entire lens blinks instead of just one out of 2 bulbs.

melt this is what u do, put the clear corners back on then watch and see if the person would try to take them again then fuck him up if u catch him
Melt
01-31-2003, 03:26 PM
while I would like to get new clear corners, I cannot justify spending the $15 on them right now. I think I will just roll stocks for a while, and then after I get an alarm I will get new ones.

OHH YEA!!! Why the fuck didnt I think of that!! Even though my local pick and pull doesent have 4th gens, they have LOTS of hondas, I doubt the 194 Socket is that different!! You are the man H4!! Thanks!! :D
Anyways, I put my stock corners back in for now, even though they dont light up, i figure im less likely to get pulled over for a bulb being out than having no lenses at all, anyways, here are some pics for you guys even though im sure nobody gives a fuck.
Me doing 90 in a 30 zone cause I am pissed off, yes I know I can go to jail for going that speed, but it was like 6:30 in the morning.

damn melt that sux man! hope u find out who did it, as for sitting on the roof with a .22 i recomend a paintball gun instead hehe that way if u hit ur car it might just make a little dent and give u a new paintjob hehe better than shooting through the hood and killing your car hehe. but yea i hate ppl who steal stuff from cars. expecially cheap things like clear corners! good luck in the future and i hope nothin else gets stolen dude... hmm think i'm gonna go buy a guard dog when my cars done and get keyless entry so if i hear him bark just hit the button and let him chase the thieves lol

ended up not going to pick and pull today cause they probably would have been closed when I got there, anyways, I will go tommorow and get the stuff, but never mind sitting on my roof. My dad wanted to know if I got the mount for my bumper lenses cause the left one is a tad jacked and im like, yea, im gonna put my new bumper lenses on so they can get jacked again :rolleyes:
Ill put em back on after I get an alarm.

Well, I went to pick and pull this morning, and not only were there actually 4th gens, there were some lx's so if any of you DX / STD peeps in the bay area wanna go get yourself a cluster with a tach, roll to the fairfield pick and pull, its right off Travis Air Force Base Parkway.
I also got the two screws that holds the sun visor in, cause my car only had one, the previous owner must have been smoking something.
Anyways, I bought some 194 bulbs at pepboys, and rewired the lenses so the whole lens blinks (and not just 1 out of 2 bulbs in the lens)
While I was down there, I was wondering, has anyone ever relocated their front plate down lower in the middle, or off to the right side? I kinda wanna do this, cause I hate the stock location.
Total Cost:
$2 Entry fee to pick and pull
$0 for sockets (5 finger discount, h4bangin's method)
$4 for 194 Bulbs.
Approx $2 in gas.
Future cost:
$14 shipped for new clear corners on ebay.
Ill take some pics later and post em.
Oh yea, and about the washer led's, I got em cause my stock washers were clogged, and rolled with em for about 2 months, when one of the bulbs burned out, so they are disconnected permanently.

So heres some pics, if anyone wants to rewire their corner lense so the entire thing blinks, twist the red and green wires from your sockets together and then crimp that onto the green wire coming from your car.
Pic from yesterday when I put the lense back in, but it had no bulbs or anything.
