    Default Does Lowes or Home Depot??

    I just ordered a HID kit and for my car the headlight cap that seals out dust, etc needs to have a 1 inch hole drilled into it, But I dont have a drill. Does anyone know if you can go to Lowes or Home Depot and have them drill a hole?

    I used to work for lowes back in the day and they offered no such service. The only services they offer like that are for items being purchased from the store.

    You need a bit that will fit the drill. Assuming that he has the most common drill, it will take a 3/8 shank. You will have a hard time finding a normal drill bit that will be 1" and fit that shank. HD and Lowes will probably point you to the 1" wood drill bits.

    You may find that you need a smaller drill bit, and a Unibit to get 1".

    Walmart has drills cheap. Probably will only last a few times, but you only need it once so...

    Brett,

    You man-card is hereby revoked along with the privileges and prestige that comes with being a real man.

    Henceforth it is deemed acceptable you carry your girlfriend purse whilst she shops for shoes.

    You shall also see romantic-comedy movies... In the theater.

    When "it's that time of the month" you are hereby ordered to be understanding and compassionate. Furthermore you must carry a spare pad in your back-pocket... Just in case.

    You shall not drink beer, play sports, or engage in any other act involving testosterone. Until such a time that this panel can conduct a full and formal investigation into the matter.

    Deepest regards,
    Real Men

    Find yourself a honda tuning and you can get I think 20% off one item with a coupon in the harborfreight ad.
