did you check the fuse? most cars have separate fuses for each bulb so if one blows the other will remain on and not leave you without headlights at all. on my friends outback he had to replace the headlight housing due to a small crash and when we installed the new one the high beam was out on the drivers side it turned out to be a blown fuse in the fuse box located in the engine compartment.

i wont go the hid route without projectors. i did that once on the bmw and hated the way the light came out of the stock halogen housing. my car is also a legacy l wagon witch did not have fogs from the factory i also installed them myself but i wired them like stock fog lights should be and used a subaru fog light switch. so the fogs only come on with the low beams. ive been thinking about rewiring them to be on anytime the headlights are on.

what i mean is the rattle is still coming from the rear hatch even without the panels attached. ive banged on the hatch with my palm and can hear a metallic reverberation/rattle sound that comes from what seems like the flat exterior metal on the hatch its self i have all 4 screws in my license plate and can confirm the plate its self is not the rattle.

interesting. i did this mod to the bmw years ago and never had issues. the mod required re-grounding a relay inside the fuse box to a ground that did not switch off with the high beams on. it never burned out the bulbs in the year and a half i had it that way before i did the hid swap and yes i did use projectors.

if i had to have the car i would strap it to something on the drivers side down low and try a come along to pull the right side up high and attempt to bend it back then plexiglass the windows get a cheapo windshield and glue the hell out of it to get it in there and drive. ive seen worst cars driving around before. glad you were ok.

i wound up buying a pan today it needs it as soon as possible but unfortunately i cannot find a place to work on it now that i have everything i need. my uncle seems to believe that there's no way to do the job without removing the engine but from things ive read here im pretty sure i just have to raise the engine a few inches. my other uncle doesn't want any new cars at his garage now he said there been too many cars there the past week and they have all been problem after problem to work on so he don't want to have it right now. my next option is tomorrow after work im going to have to drive up to a friends house and help him clean out his garage so he can help me get the job done.

so on my ride home today i began to notice at 50mph if i let off the gas i would hear a clicking sound from the rear right. after a bit more driving it began to make the sound when turning left as well. a few miles after that when i would let off the gas the clicking was also accompanied by a binding feeling that seemed to go along with the click sound. is this my rear passenger axle failing? will the car be able to make it 7 miles to work and then another 15 miles to the parts store with another 10 miles back home? i do know that the rear passenger axle boot is torn and has been since i bought the car i put grease in it within the first week trying to preserve it
