New Member Help.

Hi..Newbie here....I always wanted to put xenon lights on my car, (2002 Civic EX) and I was just wondering how to install it myself??.......do i have to take the front bumper off in able to install?
2nd ?? ...everytime im just driving my car in the Drive mode...I step on the brake to stop and when I let go I hear a brief noise..(sounds like a whislte for 1 quick second)just as soon as I let go off brake....sounds like its coming from the brake pedal...or somewhere around there... even the when the windows are close I can still here it loud....meaning its not coming from the outside....anyone know?

My civic

first off, with the lights, are you talking about HID's? installing any lights doesnt require you to take off the bumper unless you are installing new headlights, then you need to take off the bumper, but for the bulbs, no.

Also that brake noise you here is normal, I have it and so do pretty much every other member on here.

dont even need to do that. All you need to do is remove the bottom bumper clip on the corner and then 1 of the fender well clips and pull it back and stick your hands in there.

the squeak probably has soething to do with the ABS cause you Ex's are the only ones to get that. your brakes pump release pump release, so when you come to a complete stop the stop pumping I guess, and that is probably the ABS disengaging.
