can someone help me out?

Post by FCser »

ok my vibe is nearly done but i need to find out something. If someone could look under thier hood and over on the passenger side there is the window washer fluid hose, could someone take pictures or explain how it goes up under the hood and where it goes around the fender. to kind of show. im pretty sure its covered up by a material thats under the hood but if anyone knows or can look that would help me out so much. thanks

I've actually removed the material... Check out these pics. Putting the LED's in was a real pain in the You Know What

The Actual Wahers are hidden up under the support for the hood. Making tightening the bolts extremely difficult. The wires you see are for the LED Lights. Good Luck

Maybe I'm ignorant, but what are you guys doing involving the washer nozzles? What's this about LED's?

Ok I made a post in the warranty and service section and I will get the word out in this thread as well. Here is detailed instructions and pictures of what to do. BTW why are you messing with the washer hose?1. Remove the 3 lower plastic retainers that retain the hood insulator. 2. Fold back the bottom of the hood insulator in order to gain access to the windshield washer nozzle hose. 3. Disconnect the washer hose (3) from the following components: *The washer nozzle (4) *The hose connector (2) 4. Position the hose connector higher than washer solvent container, if necessary in order to prevent the washer fluid from being lost. 5. Remove the washer hose (3) from the vehicle.

Now to reinstall.1. Install the washer hose (3) to the vehicle and connect the hose to the following components: *The hose connector (2) *The washer nozzle (4) 2. Reposition the hood insulator back to its original position. Secure the insulator with the 3 plastic retainers.

This is what the LED's look like when they're on at night... still a pain to install, but they look great day and night.

How did you get the plastic tabs that hold the insulation off? I tried for half an hour and the thing would not budge.

I cut the tops off... and replaced them. They're pretty cheap... I found 'em at Automart. The hardest part was getting the original washer's out.They don't add horsepower, light up the road, or really do anything use full... but I like 'em and that's all that really matters.
