I have a set of factory plugs painted to match my car. The posts on the plugs seem to be much smaller than the holes in the nose of the car and don't snap in. Is there some kind of clip on the inside or something?? I don't have a Helm manual. What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated, I'm getting ready to drive to Malibu in a few days and don't want 4 cold air holes in the nose.

 

If they are the correct plugs (I think the same plug fits all Hondas), they should snap right in with no problem. I don't know if there is a "wrong" way to install them. Someone else here needs to chime in , because I'm a wuss who runs with a front plate (Supposedly, they're working on a law in Texas to do away with the front plate).

 

When I first looked at the plugs I didn't think that they would fit either. If your post on the plugs are too small they may be the wrong ones. The post on my plugs were sctually much larger than the holes and it took some force to get it in. You may want to take it to the dealership and ask them.

 

I had to push pretty hard to get the plugs in.

 

Thanks, I'll check with the dealer.
