my boot lid keep dropping down on me .. it just cant stay open, only on very very flat ground it will but otherwise i have to put a stick to hold it open.. few times it dropped on my head and back .. how do i fix this?

And how do i make my room light brighter, i just changed them to white bulbs which is not bright enough.. i can only notice the lights now when it is very very dark outside, and i want to keep them white, looks cool.. i tried modifying it to hold 2 bulbs but the result is 2 very dim lights... *sigh* any ideas?

Anyone help plssss....
wtf is a boot lid?
someone has to knw... plssssss
this is a stab in the dark, but are you talking about your trunk lid?? anyway, i'm only guessing here, but depending on what style car you have coupe,sedan,or hatch diffrent peices can wear out in the lid, coupes and sedans have springs, which can be replaced, and the hatch has gas shock things which are also replaceable, i hope that helped, if not then i have no idea what you art talking about
for those who aren't familiar with other words used to describe the same thing:

boot = trunk
bonnett = hood

im not sure why it would drop like that. . . maybe you should see if there's anything that can be tightened?
take it to honda, there is a screw that needs to be tightened OR and most likely, the trunk is too heavy for the spring and that needs to be tightened up, that is what they did for me, if you go and tell them that your boot lid keeps falling down then they will do it for you, takes like a minute.

yah.. i dunno wut ur talkin bout wif the boot lid, but the lights i think i know. u gotta hook those lightz up in parallel instead of series. so say u got a battery and 2 bulbs. u gotta hook up each bulb to the + and - of the battery directly. don't hook it up like that: bulb 1 connected to + of battery and bulb 2 then bulb 2 connected to - of battery.

dunno but hope that helpz for that
yes take a circuits class and you will understand the difference b/t in series and parallel.
