   Okay so the red wire is positive one and the other is negative!! But how would we know about battery terminals? I mean how would I know which one is a positive termainal and which one is a negative one? And should I Attach the positive wire with positive termainal or positive wire with negative termainal?? I hope u can understand…I NEED HELP BADLY!!!!

   well who ever did ur oil job fucked up man..but make sure your not tightening it either umm really all u need is an oil filter wrench and some elbow grease xD it has to come off lol..and when you put it back on make it snug and tighten it 1/4 way and thats all you need.

   problem is there is no can any more just the rime close to the engine so i might try with a razor blade cutting the seal then taping at a slight angle with a really long screwdriver but the problem is again space but if u have any more ways of helping then it is much apricated thanks

   drive long screwdriver through it and turn.if that causes can to crumple,use the tap on the can at the base with screwdriver til it moves a little.the cap end is the best using breaker bar.

   take the engine out to get an oil filter out? old school trick tap at edge of filter little at a time with screwdriver on an angle and oil filter will move a little at a time,ot get cap end oil filter wrench exact fit and use a breaker bar like 18″ for leverage.

    the way this guy talks is annoying low to high low to high but yeah installing a battery is nothing
    just dont short anything out while your doing it which is pretty hard to do

    no you always connect the negative first, and take it off last

    Are they HID? Or simple projectors (lenses). If they’re just the lenses (with case) they should be a basic replacement. The red wire will be the positive, if there is a black wire, it’s the ground. Otherwise the ground is the case itself.

    I recommend using some dielectric grease on the battery post/clamp to prevent corrosion. Also, make sure the lower tip of the J-hook is pointing away from the battery. It could pierce the battery and cause a nasty leak and no-start.

    LOL no positive first, neg last. Dont touch both sides battery with wrench also be careful not to touch positive then ground on body or any metal. There was a guy i met fussed his wedding band somehow looked pretty bad can you say weld!
