Hey everyone, John here from O'Reilly Auto Parts.

Today, I want to show you how to jump start your vehicle.

First, it's always a good idea to keep jumper cables with you.

There are different gauges of cables so be sure to consult your service manual to determine which gauge will work for your vehicle.

If you happen to wind up with a dead battery, having the right cables could be the difference between being stranded or getting your vehicle started.

If you can get to an O'Reilly Auto Parts Store we will test your battery and find a replacement if you need one.

Or, if it's looking like a bigger problem, we can refer you to a professional technician nearby.

So here's a dead battery that needs a charge. Unless you have a jump starter, you'll need someone else who's willing to let you hook your cables to their battery.

Before you start that process, make sure your lights, stereo, and other accessories are turned off to keep any extra strain off the dead battery.

The other vehicle should also be shut off and the two should be parked close but not touching, so that your cables will reach.

On both vehicles, set the emergency brakes and remove the keys from the ignition.

Jumper cables come in several different colors, just make sure that you're using the negative cable for the negative terminal and the positive cable for the positive terminals.

In almost all cases, the negative cable will be black but it's a good idea to check yours to be sure.

And once you start connecting these don't let the clamps touch each other.

We'll start by attaching the positive clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery. That's the terminal with the plus sign.

Clamp it on there and give it a wiggle to make sure that those teeth get a good connection.

Let the clamp of the negative cable on this end rest somewhere that isn't metal so there's no ground.

Then, we're going to attach the other end of the positive cable to the positive terminal of the good battery.

Make sure it's really on there. Now, attach this negative clamp to the negative terminal of the good battery and on the other end you want to find some bare metal to attach to.

Again your service manual will tell you if there's a negative terminal specifically for jump-starting.

Once you've found your ground and attach the cable you're ready to start the vehicle with the good battery.

Let this engine run for at least a couple minutes before trying the other.

Once you've let the good vehicle idle for two or three minutes, try starting the other.

And we're good. When you go to detach the cables you want to take them off in reverse order.

Starting with the negative cable on the vehicle that was dead then the negative cable on the good battery.

And then your two positive cables. It's a good idea to let the vehicle that you just charged run for a while.

And, if you think that you need a new battery, head to your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store.

They can test it and let you know if you need a new one. You can also pick up a set of jumper cables if you don't have a pair.

All the items that you need whether batteries, tools, or jumper cables are also available online at OReillyAuto.com.

How To: Restore Your Vehicle's Headlights - Duration: 3:02.

[Mechanical SFX]

Hey everybody, Chris here from O'Reilly Auto Parts to address a fairly common problem.

Dull, cloudy, headlight lenses. The haze on the lens looks bad, but it's also a safety hazard for you and other drivers.

Today I'm going to show you how to fix them. There are two basic types of headlight restoration kits.

One type of kit comes with an attachment for your power drill, which makes sanding a little easier.

Today, we're gonna use the second, the more manual kit, which will allow you to do the job by hand.

This particular brand is Turtle Wax but any one of them will do the trick.

Aside from what the kit includes, you'll need some of this low tack painters masking tape and a few cotton cloths or hands towels.

It's also a good idea to wash and dry the headlight and the area surrounding it.

Once the area is clean and dry, masking around your headlight assembly will keep you from damaging your paint.

The first step of this process involves a lens clarifying compound.

We want just enough on the cloth to rub over the entire lens. Apply a fair amount of pressure as you put this on.

Now you're going to take a clean hand towel and buff that out. In some cases this step alone will make the headlight look clearer again.

If so, you can skip to the end where we're putting on the final coating but there's more work to do here.

So, in your kit you'll find two sanding pads and some spray lubricant. Take your green pad and spray it with some lubricant.

Also spray your lens. You want to make sure the pad and lens stay wet during the whole standing process.

And we're going to start by standing horizontally. Getting as much of that oxidation as possible.

Now flip this over. Should be tan on the other side, and repeat the process.

Only this time we're going to sand vertically. Okay, now grab your other pad and we're going to do the same thing.

Start with a teal side. Spray it, make sure the lens is wet and we're gonna sand horizontally.

Then, flip it over, spray the purple side and the lens and we're gonna stand vertically.

Alright, we're ready to grab a hand towel and dry this lens off, and we're going to reapply our lens clarifying compound.

So get yourself a clean cloth and rub that over the whole lens until it's nice and clear.

Once that dries to a haze we're just going to buff it out.

If you're doing both sides repeat the steps I just showed you before moving to the final step.

Once you've completed all these steps on both sides you're ready to open the lens base coat wipe.

You'll want to move fairly quickly and coat both lenses.

Once they're dry, you'll want to wipe the lenses down right away with the lens sealing wipe.

This helps keep yellowing from happening later on. This coating will cure for 24 hours, but once it's on you're okay to drive.

There's a night and day difference in how the headlights look.

We've also restored better down road visibility, making the night driving a lot safer.

All of the products and supplies you need to do the job are available at your local O'Reilly Auto Parts Store or online at OReillyAuto.com.

How To: Install Headlight Bulbs on Your Vehicle - Duration: 2:34.

John here from O'Reilly Auto Parts and today I'm gonna show you how to change

your headlight bulb and you probably won't even need any tools. I'll be

working on a 2008 Ford Escape, but if you have any questions about your specific

vehicle we always recommend that you look at your service manual. We can even

recommend a professional technician if things get a little bit more complicated

than what you're expecting. When a bulb burns out the one on the other side is

probably going to burn out soon as well. It really is a good idea to go ahead and

change them both. It will keep you from having headlights with two different

levels of brightness. Because, as a bulb wears out it's going to continue to grow

dimmer. Once you have your replacement bulb we're gonna pop our hood and

identify where our headlight housing is. You should be able to identify the back

of the bulb pretty easily. In some cases you might even need to remove your

battery or your air cleaning unit. If you do, don't worry. It's usually just a

couple of bolts or screws. Just make sure you remember which bulb high beam or low

beam needs replaced and that your car and the lights are turned off. When you

get to the bulb you'll see a socket with wires that's plugged into the base of

the bulb. You'll want to detach the wire socket from the bulb. Just press the tab

to release it and pull on the socket. Be careful to pull on the socket and not

the wires so you don't damage the wires in most cases you'll twist the bulb to

the left and slide it straight out. Some vehicles have a clip or retaining ring

that needs to be loosened or taken out before the bulb can be removed. Have your

replacement bulb ready before you remove the old one and when you handle the new

one be sure to not touch it with your bare fingers. Finger oil and grease can

make a hot spot on the glass that can cause the bulb to burn out prematurely.

Bulbs will have tabs that align with notches on the opening at the back side

of the housing so there's really only one way that it will go in. Once you've

slid the bulb back into position and secured it it by twisting it to the right,

reattach the wire socket and you're good to go.

Repeat those steps on the other side and then check and make sure that your

headlights are working before you close your hood. Now remember, all the bulbs

that you need are at your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store or online at OReillyAuto.com.
