Glad to have u back eric. It pleases me
And to make the headlight removable u could have went to your parts Mustang and cut out a factory plug with the correct number of wires and use that
Or gotten a new one from Amazon like I did with my radiator fans on the Ford. ;)
Welcome back Eric, i really missed ya. These days quality content on this platform is thin and hard to come by in the proportions that it used to be. And as someone who watches videos online for their "therapeutic" and relaxing effect late in the day after work, know that i appreciate your channel a lot. A very lot.
Also congrats on the million :)
Thank you!
Eric it is so good to see repair/upgrade videos from you again.
Those headlight assemblies look like the eyes from The Terminator. Glad you are back Eric!
You have no idea how happy I am. I missed these!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!! :)
I now understand why a power probe has its place in a toolbox but could be a very misleading tool in diagnosis. Glad you are back
As far as the halos go, I would hook those into a separate circuit so I could control when they are on or off. But that is just my preference.. Man, it's so nice to be getting alerts letting me know you have posted a video. Great to have you back.. Thanks Eric!
so happy to finally see you back eric. fridays have been boring haha
Feels good to see you posting here again. I really missed these videos.
Was starting to type a video asking for a light aiming video, then you go and mention you have one already. Thank you Eric.
I am glad that you back to the channel, Welcome!!
Eric, it's good to see that you are back again, you have been missed!
Where I'm at in Canada the white tie wraps get brittle in cold temps. There's been days I can't even get them to cinch up without breaking. Glad to see you back at this kind of vid, though I had kept up with you on ETCG1.
Welcome back Eric and also to Cameraman Brian. Enjoy your work !
THE KING RETURNS
Nicely done Eric. Never Seize or some other type of product is a must. I think I have mentioned this before but when I was working with ROV's we used AquaLube because Never Seize in a salt water environment especially into Aluminum caused issues due to Electrolysis because of the metals in Never Seize. AquaLube always worked and never washed away. Great job Eric.
Good to have you back on RUclips Eric.
I really like the format of following up a year later at the end of the video with a retrospective look at the project (I get that this was due to the hiatus, but still)
Awesome Eric you working on the Honda Element love it welcome back brother😄👍👍
Nice winter tires! My dad bought some steel rims at a good price to mount winter tires on for the family van. When winter came, we just swapped out the normal tires for the already mounted winter ones :)
Glad to see you back! Every year around this time I binge watch your videos. Not a mechanic or anything, but it's really neat to be able to learn how cars work and how to work on them. Genuinely happy to see another video from you.
Thank you!
Immmmmm sooo happy these are back!
I glad you took the time you needed!
One thought. Generally I agree with mixing spades up.
But the way it is now, if you take them out. Someone can connect the pos and neg together.
And when it comes to soldering your wires before crimping. When you have uninsulated like you used, you can flow solder in after crimp.
I like doing that when I have the time.
Thanks again for the videos.
These are just my dumb little thoughts. :)
Glad to see you back, Eric! I've learned so much about repairing my vehicles from your videos, and even helped out a few friends. As a woman doing this work (as a hobby only), I've been told it's impressive!! LOL Anyway, thank you for your previous help, and again, so glad you're back!
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your future projects. Personally, I think women have a better temperament for this work. Thanks again.
ericthecarguy in my notifications is the best feeling in the world
Good to have you back Eric.
Yes! Thank you! Welcome back @EricTheCarGuy!
Eric!! Love your videos, man!
They came in very handy when I used to work on my 2008 Element SC. I had to part ways with my Ellie because some drunk driver smashed into it pretty badly in the middle of the night while my car was parked curbside, he totalled my Ellie. If that hadn't happen I'd kept the Ellie forever. Had to get a new car. It's still very satisfying to watch your videos.
Hopefully one day Honda brings back the Ellie with a more capable engine.
Welcome back brother...U where highly missed
First of all, huge fan. I was butthurt when you signed off, at the same time most respects for your decision. Second.... well no seconds.
ETCG is back. All is right in the world...for the moment....
Welcome back to the channel. Always a good watch.
Thanks for the video! Great having you back and congrats on 1 million subscribers!
Thank you!
So glad you’ve returned Eric, you inspired me to follow my dream years ago and get into this industry, who makes that 1/4 ratchet I like it?
Those pliers for pulling the push pins look to be the most ingenious and time saving devices since the invention of the ratchet!
A classic video from ericthecarguy.......so happy your back......looking forward to lots more....
Welcome back Eric miss ETCG vídeos also welcome back camera man Brian
Welcome back Eric we missed you buddy
Welcome back! I have really missed your repair videos.
Welcome back Eric!!! Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!!!!!! The projector headlights look great, and are a great addition with hid bulbs. That is what they were designed for, but you already know that lol
Actually, I swapped them out for LED's. They came with halogens originally. Thanks for the comment.
Glad to see these kind of videos pop up again.
Guess who's back, back again
Eric's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back.
lol
So glad you are back!!!! You and Eric o. Make the best car repairs videos!!!!!!
Thanks, Eric! The video is on point, I very much liked editing, it wasn't too long, I watched it from beginning to end with no feeling that it's stretched or anything. I like the new way. Thanks!
Love when you say "My element is a bit rusty".... You want rust? Come up to my area of Upstate NY. Our pastimes include listening to cars rust.
Great to have you back! Missed seeing you on the 'tube- Remember, don't let the armchair mechanics get ya down! (or the Haynes Jockeys as Matt calls them.... Haynes Jockeys, dual purpose, as most of the posters are also in their undies while posting..)
Have a great day!
Thanks for the comment. BTW, I'm from western NY. I know all about rust.
You're back! Welcome old friend! Nice to see you again!
Eric, so excited to see a new ETCG video. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.
@ericthecarguy Great to have you back man.
when I installed fog lights on my truck I used a 2 plug trailer connector .. 2.99 for a set so 2 sets needed for this headlight setup and you cant mix up the connections - PS great to have you back
Very nice upgrade. I do recall the vid with the comparison of different headlights and IIRC the LED was the best in terms of length of the beam also, which living in Michigan I definitely would want. Really glad to have you back, I, along with so many others missed your regular vids.
Btw, I was a huge fan of the Fairmont series, and I did miss those regular vids, but understood your position it.
Eric. You're back. My Fridays can get back to normal now.
I put CREE LED low beam only headlamps in my silverado pickup.Really work great and well worth the effort.
happy to see etcg back. all ways looked forward to new vids from etcg :)
Glad you were able to recharge in your time off from ETCG.
@14:30 Liberally coating the fasteners with antisieze in areas where rust is a problem... yes. Earlier I was screaming, "Eric, coat your fasteners with antisieze! (because you're doing it wrong)" Well done! Being from the rustbelt myself, I always coat any exposed-to-the-elements fastener. I just sold my Tacoma I owned for 12.5 years and the new owner asked if he could re-contact me with questions, and my reply was, "If it's got antisieze and it came apart, sure; otherwise, I haven't touched it."
nice to have you back.
Man I missed you I am so glad that you are continuing uploading new content. I actually wanted to do this on my rigged so this video is really well timed for me.
Welcome back Eric - Was so excited to see your video today!
Really happy to see you’re back. You and Charles (the humble mechanic) are my favorite you tube mechanics! I like that clip removal tool. Need to get one.
Welcome back bud :) it’s so great to have you back. Long time loyal fan and subscriber here just letting you know I still appreciate all your content
Lol seriously on the "this is the box, I obviously took everything out of the box" comment. Loved it
Sometimes you have to spell it out. I'm sure you know what I mean. Good to see you in the comments Paul.
I unsubscribed when I saw the video of you not doing this anymore. Here you go popping in my feed. Lol
I subbed.
Great to have you back,,,,missed you Sir
They are pretty bud!! Love having you back! Missed you!!!!!!
Welcome back and just in time. I was thinking about converting my 2002 3.0l Stratus R/T coupe to halogen projectors. Great fuel for thought. BTW...Happy New Year, Eric.
Return of the Mac!!! Glade your back MrToolGuy!!!!!!!
Glad you are back on this channel 👍
FINALLY... I have never unsubbed, been waiting a while for ETCG to come back... Ive been watching ETCG1 and its good, just not as satisfying as watching you repair stuff.
Thank you!
Hello Eric missed your ETCG VIDEOS good to see you posting them again. Thanks.
When it comes to removing a headlight assembly, the best design I have seen is on the Volvo XC90. The steps are:
Open hood, pull two L shaped metal strips up and remove the assembly. That's it, no tools required, takes 15 seconds and if the assembly needs to come fully off, there's one plug. I love them.
Early 2000 Ford trucks are the same way. Thanks for the comment.
Is good to see you back Eric, I love those headlights, nice fit👌🏼 on the Honda Element, waiting for more videos. Have a nice day. God Bless You Always!!✌🏼😉👍🏼
Really nice to have you back again. Love your videos and I've been a subscriber since the start.
I thought you were done with RUclips, good to have you back. 😀
Missed you man. Glad you’re back!
Really good video Eric glad to have you back.
Missed you Eric! Nice to see you're back, hopefully you're back in full force. Also, that is the most tedious bumper removal I have ever seen hahaha
Great video as always Eric. Now take the old headlight assemblies and bake them open and do a retrofit video for your fans. That would be great. Thanks.
Glad you're back buddy.
glad to see you back Eric!!!
You are very neat when doing electrical connections. My compliments.
Good to have you back.
Welcome back dude. Missed yah!
Glad you're back, Sir.
Welcome back Eric, always been great videos, keep them going stay happy
thank you Eric i'm following you from Algeria and im happy see you back
Im so glad to see you back
You're back! Just realized. Good start on my new year :)
Welcome back Eric
Missed the quality content.
I'm so glad you are back
Another awesome, informative video Eric (even if I don't have an Element). Very responsible of you to add the "check local laws" disclaimer.
PS: it's my B-day today. 41 years down, ? years left to go.
I had no idea you were in Ohio. Heck, I'm right up the road from you in Lebanon! I'm bringing my 2011 sienna over for some advice. Stay put!
Ah...its good to see you back at it
Great that your back again Eric👍
Welcome back Eric!
Great install, only thing I would have done different is staggered the cut on the wires to the marker lights. Less chance of shorting out if your splices are staggered.
Nice a video of aftermarket upgrades and I’m glad you can read that manual I sure can’t.
I couldn't either. I was just winging it.
Wonderful to se that you are back! fyi those projectors are way better to hid convert than regular old housings, i converted my old Bmw e34m5 1992 that had projectors with hid and the lighting was the same as on a new car. but i remember that there was two different hid h7 bulbs one h7 and one h7r one was for regular old lights dont remember witch one though.
Nevermind i looked at the end now =)
Welcome back Eric!😃
Glad you’re back!
I have the same body style as your truck; and I had a heck ufa time getting the back side to fit in the core support. (with projector beam headlight assm's)
I bet that Element works real nice in the winter with those dedicated snows and AWD.
I have had Anzos on my car for a few years. I haven't had a problem with condensation but after a year or so, a layer of protective film that were on the lights began to crack and peel. They are still clear and function properly as of now.
Thanks for the heads up.
