hi
the headlights and tal lamps you should have no problem with , the cold air intake is no big deal either , but i have done alot of testing on many cars with cold air intakes and found most degrade the fuel mileage by sucking in hot air from the engine instead of cold air ,

thanks
if you are happy with the info please leave feedback we all here do this for free feedback is a way of saying thank you for the help

Suggested Repair

Headlights and tail lights can be installed yourself, and a cold air intake is also straightforward. Be aware that many cold air intakes reduce fuel mileage by drawing hot engine-bay air. Exhaust installation was not specifically addressed.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse asked whether headlights, tail lights, an intake, and an exhaust could be self-installed or taken to any mechanic. The expert said the lights and cold air intake are straightforward DIY jobs, but noted that many intakes hurt mileage by pulling in hot air. Exhaust installation was not specifically covered.
