I need a G37 Coupe, 2018 86, Honda Civic and Accord (newer), for videos just like this one. Comment yours or a friend IG that’d be down for a similar basic build:

I’m installing halos and sequential led strip on a 2016 in 2 weeks, I fixed a pair last year but totally forgot how to wire the accessories (because I won’t have the car here, just the lights) this video was a life saver 👌🏻 I watched all 22 min and it was great! I love that you actually show what’s involved and how long opening headlights take. People complain on the price for something as simple as chrome delete but they don’t understand and totally wouldn’t do it themselves Definitely subscribing 🙏🏻

I would rather sit through an hour long video and get every single angle and shot and all the real unedited content covering all the little details or roadblocks one would face when doing a project like this themselves (me). So thank you.

I'm a DIYer simply because I don't have the money to throw at my daily driver. I try to do all the maintenance on it myself (dad's a mechanic so he handles the more technical problems) and I was looking for a way to give the car some more life. A headlight rebuild would be perfect so...I'm still here mate. Simply an amazing tutorial. Consider me subbed.
