Prepare for the installation.
• If possible, install the SWI-PS while you are installing the new head unit. Keep in mind you may need to plug in the factory stereo to locate certain wires; therefore do not complete the head unit installation until the SWI-PS is working properly.
• Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-PS plug and the control body. Keep in mind that the supplied wire harness is two feet long, and the 1/8″ plug harness is three feet long.
• Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits.

The fuel filter should be replaced every 4 years or 60,000 miles (96,000 km), whichever comes first.
Have a qualified mechanic change the fuel filter. Since the fuel system is under pressure, fuel can spray out and create a hazard if all fuel line connections are not handled correctly.
The filter may require replacement sooner if you happen to buy one or more tankfuls of contaminated fuel. Have the filter tested or replaced if you suspect it has been clogged by contaminants.

MacPherson strut cartridge replacement on GM-10 series (“W”-car) vehicles. This includes 1988 and later Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass and Buick Regal, 1989 and later Chevrolet Lumina.
PROBLEM: A MacPherson strut spring compressor is not required to replace the MacPherson struts on these vehicles. The strut cartridge is removed and replaced through the body shock tower. Special tools are required.
Do not service the strut unless the vehicle is on the floor. All 4 tires must be on the floor and facing straight ahead, otherwise the coil spring can fly free.

Step 1: Remove the intake in order to free up space so you can get to the back of the passenger side headlight.
Step 2: Remove the access cap on the back of the headlight to reveal the stock bulb. Also think about where you want to mount the ballast so you can clean the surface with degreaser or alcohol so that the sticky pad will stick. I chose to place my ballast under the intake as shown. Also unplug the bulbs wiring harness so you can remove the stock halogen bulb.
Step 3: Drill a 1” hole into the back access cap for the wires to feed through. Then feed the wire harness of the bulbs through the hole from the inside out and seal the 1” hole that you drilled with the gasket as shown. You should have the bulb and the connector that will plug into the OEM bulb harness both coming out of the same side.
