WTF WIRELESS HEADLIGHTS/ Engine mount bolt size

hey guys! I got two issues going on with my car that I need some help with.


First, it turns out the owner before me converted the car to wireless H.I.D. headlights. I was trying to put the stock headlight bulb back on cause one headlight isn't turning on but I cant find the connection anywhere. I guess I'm going to have to buy the bulb that goes with the wireless unit. does anyone have any experience with this? should I buy the headlight bulb and the box? or just the headlight bulb?








Second, doesn't anyone know the exact bolt size for the driver side motor mount that goes on the right side into the engine?


I would really appreciate the help since my car is up for inspection again.

Wow ... you are probably the first person I have heard of that actually has one of those wireless HID kits .... they are nothing but garbage, get rid of them when you get the chance.

Chances are the wire is tucked under the headlight housing so you may have to get dirty and remove the bumper/headlight assembly to get to it.

To answer your question though... it is pretty rare for a HID bulb to burn out since it doesn't really have a filament, it is probably more likely that the ballast is what died (common with cheap ballasts).

Got the headlight situation fixed. Took it to one of those dudes that sell HIDS on craiglist.

Can anyone tell me the size bolt for the motor mount in the picture. It's #4 in the picture. It's the drivers side
