Just be VERY carefull to not topple the car off the saftey stands whilst
trying to compress the front spring - it's easy to do . you should be
able to attach the top shock nut and then extend the shock down enough th
start the lower nut - if not , you'll likely have short shock life as
they are not designed to limit suspension extended travel . 

 The front park lights are (depending on your light switch) connected to
the same terminal as the taillights , early switches have a seperate
terminal for the front park lights - check this out as they switch off
when the headlights go on if you have an original light switch .
