      Looks like a relatively clean car to sort with. Is it a '95 or '96?

          Another thing you can add is the rear sway bar. I think all '95s had one, but only the ES '96-'98s had a rear sway bar. Or, if you have the money, you can get either a 19mm or 21.5mm AWR rear sway bar. The stock one is quite tiny.

                The '96, '97 and '98 ES had a sway bar. The LX and DX didn't. All trim levels for '95 had a sway bar, though.

                      It should, yes. I think the '95/'96 mounted differently than the '97/'98 bar, but the bar itself is the same. I'd have to look at my Haynes manual again to make sure.

                      As for the HID cutting out, are your grounds good? My passenger light flickers when it gets wet sometimes because the ground is pretty exposed.

                        yea well i think i grounded it to the motor and now it only does it at high rpm like around 5800 but that mite be cause its grounded to the motor

                            You might be able to tape it up to the ballast so that it doesn't move. Lots of tape, probably.
