Problems with factory hood +washerlights

[EVOclipse]

Anyone else tried to do this mod....i found the cross support bar runs right over the washer area...i cant even figure out how to reach in there to take the old ones off......anyone else?

Mod? I take it your replacing them with pretty little lights that serve no purpose but getting you tickets for nothing. anyway, follow the tubing comming from you washer fluid box. it will lead you directly to the washers. I'm pretty sure they aren't underneth the crossmembers. but I could be wrong. check again... or you could just.. not put them on.

Cut a little square out of that part right under the washer. I did mine with scissors, tin shears would have been easier. And then you will have easy access to them.

Now someone want to help me to figure out how to get the rear sprayer out. I wanted to replace that with a LED sprayer. But I could not get it out.

[Import2nr99]

to get to the rear sprayer, simply remove the interior panel going over your hatch. there should be a fluid line running to the rear sprayer. I believe it has small clips or gromets on it I believe. you should be able to pop it out of the top of the car, then insert your new shiny light up washer and atatch the applicable wires and tubes and vuala!

I tried that and I got the clip off the bottom. But then it would not come off the top, it was weird.

sledge hammer!

[ashah000]

lol... The clip is not underneath the spayer.

well arent pretty lights diffrent from the stock...is it not a modification...just because some ppl tune looks doesnt make it a bad idea. anyways yeah if i can learn how to post pics i would show but yeah the cross memebers are blocking them...ill try the tin shears..they would have been nice today when i added some mesh to my front bumpber to help distract from all the broken damage lol....

sorry, wasn't trying to be a dick. if there is anyone who will bash you for modding your exterior it won't be me. I'm just not a fan of the whole led washer thing. but to each his own I guess. I can't honestly say I've never done it myself, so what I know is just from installing hoods. either way, good luck

[ashah000]

I really dont care if any one comes in here and says 'thats gay' or 'u ricer' either way I am going to do it. It is my damn car.
I personally like the LED washers... well that probally cause I am still 16 lol.

BTW what is the crossmember and where exactly is it.

[Import2nr99]

haha I was at that stage, you will grow out of it. trust me haha. the crossmembers are the supports on the underside of the hood. basically the just give it strength and a little more resiliance than the thin piece of steel that the hood is. and yes... I also am a ricer.. isn't it fun?

[ashah000]

I thought so...yea then he was right the crossmember does block the sprayer. Just take the tin shears and put them in the nearest hole and start clipping twords the sprayers location.
I hope that doesn't make the hood any weaker

those washer lights are so illegal over here in Boston,I was going to buy them but in mass any kind of blue or red exterior light they will make you break them off your car right in front of them,Boston police suck,shoot legal tint over here is 35% and up

[EVOclipse]

yeah blue is bad here and some red...but most ppl switch them on and off anyways...i decided not to install them anyways..im going to try and use them to accent the mesh i install where the bumper lights were...
