Default spyder head lights/ tailights

hello everybody question here. I am going to take my stock head lights and tail lights and replace them. I was on carid.com and I was looking at the spyder halo projector head lights. I have watched videos on how to install and will there be an extra wireing to install these? I am 17 and not comfortable doing that.

second question is for the tailights. im not sure how to reach the back I know you are supposed to remove the bumber but How am I supposed to disconnect every thing? there is the liner in the car but I can not find away to move it


Honda accord ex 1999 coupe!

You're not really going to need additional wiring for the headlights unless you want those rings to work. that's optional. If you do want them to work, just splice the power wire from the ring to the blinker or parking light, whichever. That'll be really simple compared to taking out the whole front bumper, which you'll also have to do, simple yet time consuming without the right tools..

Not particularly hard, just buy some quick splice connectors (I think thats what they're called).. They are little plastic things, they're on amazon or ebay. Splicing them is surprisingly easy..

Depends on where you buy them but 95% of the time they're included. But if you're going to put in the effort to go projector, you may as well get HIDs. Just don't buy purple or green HIDs, you'll get endless tickets. The included bulbs are always halogens. And if you're concerned about HID wiring, it's a snap, it'll take you about 5 mins or so.

Oh btw, as far as the tail lights, I don't know which tail lights you're buying but if they're the LED ones, you may need to worry about soldering resistors on. That's a bit of a pain if you don't have a soldering iron. Personally, I haven't messed with that yet so I don't understand resistors except for the purposes of physics..

I just want to say that i just bought some halo projectors for my honda from carid.com and i have to return them because somehow the right headlight got moisture in it and fogged up the light, this guy was telling me alot of the time your going to run into problems with aftermarket halo projectors like the rings burning out and poor sealing. i would have gotten them replaced but to me it just seemed like more trouble than its worth. if you end up getting the lights id say trim the original seal around the housing and go over it good with silicone seal from any hardware store like auto zone.
