How to replace 2005 Honda Pilot Headlight Bulb

My wife’s car, 2005 honda pilot, has got recently serviced by honda service center  which related to recall of headlight connection. Then, we have found out the right side of low beam of headlight was broken.

So, I was researching on the internet to find out right bulb for my car. Most of people recommended the Sylvania 9003/H4  Xtravision that is $18.88/pair at the walmart. Yes. you could buy the high end products at $30 0r $40 but all I want to do is replacing the broken one.

The below steps are  to replace the headlight bulb that is located on the passenger side. Before doing it, please be careful not  to  touch the glass side  of new headlight bulb.

Halogen headlights can be compromised or damaged altogether by the oils and alkaline in our skin.

1. Turn off the engine and headlights  when replacing the headlight. Release the hood latch which you have to pull the hood opener that is located at the left bottom side of driver seat.

2. Open the hood and stay it up by using the prop.

3. Locate the bulb that needs to be replaced and unplug the wire harness going to the three-pronged bulb by simply pulling it out.

4. Take out the black rubber gasket that covers the back of the headlight outlet.

5. Try to push and move side to unclip the steel wire that hold tightly the light bulb.

6. Extract the old bulb and insert the new one in the exact same position.

7. Re-Clipping the steel wire spring to secure the bulb.

8. Insert back the black rubber gasket.

9. Plug the harness into the bulb.

10. Turn the lights on to make sure that it is working properly

11. Close the hood.

Can Google Nexus 4 to survive from Samsung Galaxy S3 & Apple iphone 5?

The Nexus 4 is a google reference phone and the unlocked version was recently released from google play store.

The manufacturer is LG and their market share was getting lower than Apples’s iPhone recently due to new release of iPhone 5.

I have been using it for a week after waiting almost 2 weeks. This phone has a speed and performance that can be recognized from many other smartphones.

The first impression of this phone that comes out from the box is just average feeling. It looks bigger and thicker than iPhone 5 and smaller and thinner than Galaxy S3.

And after adding straight talk micro sim card and activation, it starts showing its strengths in many ways.

The touch feeling is smooth as other device and response of any action is instant without any delay or pause. And it has a good and high quality of camera feature too.

The output of sound or music player is not that good which is minus to this device. As you have already got an information on the Straight Talk, it can support up to HSPA+ that is slower than LTE 4G but data transaction has no issue  with proper speed.

The weird thing from speed test(speedtest.net app) is it gets only less than 100kbps for downloading. But the internet browsing speed was fairy fast enough than normal 3G speed.

For the more , when it starts the wifi hotspot, the download speed was more than 7 Mbps that was fast enough to watch youtube movies.

Also,  it has a great battery life time (2,100 mAh Lithium polymer) than any other smartphone I have ever used before. With general talking and usages of phone, the battery can stay for most of business time without any charging so far.

Overall, I am very happy to get this nexus 4 phone that finds an edge to hold a breath between Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5.

 

Apple Store started selling Unlocked iphone 5 (11/29/2012)

Apple Store has started selling an Unlocked IPhone5 from  11/29/2012. You can purchase it from online store then pick up from any close offline apple  store.

The price of 16GB model is at $649 , 32GB  is at $749, and the  64GB is at $849 right now. The price is identical to Unlocked version of iphone 4S initially.

I had ordered last night (11/29/2012) and got a test message from apple that pick up is available from today morning time.

I went to apple store around 5pm. today and the line of pickup was not that long and it didn’t seems to be that busy inside of store.   And on the way home, I have stopped by tmobile store and purchased a nano-sim card with $30 plan(100 minutes with unlimited data plan) .

As soon as insert the SIM card to iphone 5,  it starts working but my home area was not goot the reception signal for 4G of tmobil then it went to the 2G edge signal.

Then I have experienced very slow speed of data connection from that time. I have another phone that is the Nexus 4 that is using straight talk service and has better reception on At&T HSPA+ signal. The speed of data transaction is much better than Iphone 5. Yeah, it is matter of coverage of 4G service that is essential to check before you buy a phone and service.

If you don’t clean clams then you would taste very sandy clams. In order to remove sand from clams, there are two or three things you must do before cooking them.
First, wash them from tab water to remove outside of sands and dirt and pick cracked or broken ones.

If clam is opened, then tab its shell to see whether it is closed or not. if it is not closed then throw it away.
Second, With one gallon of fresh water, add 1 or 2 t spoon of sea salt and stir. Pour all clams and leave them into the dark place. Be sure the water temperature that should be around 40 degree that should cold enough.

Third, replace water after 30 min or 1 hour later for the next round.

Google Nexus 4 sold out in couple hours and put my order into back order.

I was waiting the google play website has be ready to sell their Nexus 4 phone. Finally the “Notify Me” button was changed to “Add to Cart” from its site. However, it didn’t work out to checkout from its shopping cart.

It made me think many people hit google play website at the same time. I’ve been kept trying to check out but it returned with an error message and removed an item in the cart.

With all those issues and problems, the checkout process had been through successfully and they have charged me $396.57 for  the 16GB model. And it included tax and shipping too. The order confirmation email indicated the phone will be delivered in couple days.

However, I have got an email from google as below in this afternoon and  I have to wait 3 more weeks from now on.

What a painful waiting time to get a new phone from google!  They have to change the  way of selling the Nexus phone in different way than what they have it right now.
