EJ7 Headlamp Restoration - DIY

Most of the plastic material of the headlamp will become yellowish or blurred over a period of time. It happened to my 13 years old ride too. :P

Well, after some research through the Internet, I found that it can be cleaned...but needed some effort and risks involved. Therefore, I had consulted numerous people who is dealing with cars. Mainly car painter, mechanics and etc. Car painter's own car were having the same problem. He said he tried to polish with sand polisher but still failed. I told him my idea. He against it by saying it would not do much and most probably I'll make a hole at the headlamps. Hehe. :)

Well, I just go with my plan and did the headlamp restoration for my ride. ;)

Basically, you just need 3 grades of sandpaper(try to find the finest, used by car painters), water, masking tape, car polish or headlamp restorer and some patiences. :)

The defect...

Well, after comparing the 1st photo of the defect with the last photo of the final result, I was quite satisfied with the result. :)

Now, the headlamps look much better compare to last time. ;P

P/S - Here, I would like to warn anyone that wish to attempt to DIY as what I did, please do it at your own risk. Don't blame me if your headlamp got a hole or you can't get the same result as mine cause every situation is different. ;)

EK4 Door Visor - DIY install

I had always like a door visor at any cars. It just make the car look so good. Besides that, it is useful when you need to wind down a little bit of your door window especially during raining time. Door visor will prevent the rain from pouring in. But of course not during heavy down pour. :P

I had surveyed the price for this EK4 door visor set for a few months. Almost everywhere was selling at a very high price. At last, I got a set from Sasuke. He is a Honda used parts dealer at KL. Very nice and responsible seller. The price that he gave me was a really nice price. So, I just grab this set of EK4 door visor.

Princess Bumblebee got to know about this and she insisted to pay for this set as my Christmas and New Years present. Thanks a lot Princess Bumblebee!!! :)

After a couple of weeks, finally I have some spare time to install the door visor. I tried to DIY the installion since it was just plug and play. ;)

Check all the clips. Should do this before buy the set. :P. Found that 1 of the clip was missing. So, I just DIY a similar clip for it.

The DIY clip look smaller..hehe..but it fits well...


Use some extra strong bond adhesive to hold the clip...


Make sure all the clips are in good shape. Reshape it if necessary...


Pull out the rubber at the door frame


Place the visor to the door frame. You need to figure out a way to slot the clip in...


After the position of the visor was correct, all the clips should be able to clip in place. You will need a small flat head screw to add extra security to the visor. After tighten the screw, you can start to push back the door rubber back to the door frame. It was not an easy job. But once you get the technique, it would be fast. Hehe.. :P

After done installing...3 pieces more to go...



Repeat the same steps for the front visor. You will need 2 small flat head screws for the front visor. It would tightly secure your visor when you hit the highway. Hehe.. ;)

Front and back, right side done...


Nicely aligned...

Repeat the same steps with the left side of your car. By this time, you should be able to get all done with no sweat. Hehe.. :)

Done all 4 pieces.. hoooraay...

It took me 4 hours to get everything done. But it's worth it as now I will know that it is not an easy job to assemble things back. When disassemble it, no sweat. But it is hard when assembling it back. :)
