Here are some more information for Headlight Decal Package:
If your car's engine doesn't turn over, or does so slowly, it's likely that the battery is dead. If the cause of the flat battery is that you forgot to switch off the headlights, it's simply a matter of connecting a car battery charger to recharge the dead battery. It's more problematic if you have no obvious reason for the battery being flat.
Frequently, the reason for a dead battery with no obvious cause is either the battery is faulty or that it is not getting charged by means of the alternator. It may be that the alternator has a fault, or it may be that the belt driving the alternator is slipping.
A simple way to check that the alternator is charging the car battery is starting the engine and switching on the headlights (This works best if it's a least a little dark outside). With the engine ticking over at normal tickover revs, observe the point (wall, etc.) on which the headlights are shining. When the alternator is sucessfully charging the battery, the lights get a little brighter when pressing the accelerator and increasing the revs. If the headlight brightness fails to change, it's probable that the alternator is not actually charging the battery.
Another reason for the battery being dead is that it has reached the end of its useful life. Batteries normally last for approximately three to five years, depending on their cycle of charging and discharging, and also on maintenance. Doing mainly short journeys, the battery will spend the majority of its time at less than fully charged, and this can have the effect that the battery doesn't last for the same amount of time as one doing long trips and getting charged completely.
Using a multimeter set on voltage measurement it's possible to test the battery's voltage. Attach the red-coloured multimeter test lead to the positive terminal of the battery and then attach the black test lead to the negative terminal of the car battery. When the engine is off, voltage is usually around 12.5-12.8 volts. After starting the engine, at idle speed the voltage should be around 13.6-14.3 volts. If the voltage fails to increase, it could mean that the alternator is faulty.
Starting problems can also occur as a result of loose battery terminal connections. Make sure that the connectors are tightly attached to the battery's terminals. Another reason for starting issues is corrosion getting between the battery connectors and the battery terminals. If corroded, they will have to be removed and cleaned (Make sure the engine is off before disconnecting the battery connections).

Ford - One of the World's Big Three
One of the most profitable company in the automotive world is known as Ford. This is an American multinational corporation which is considered the third largest automaker based on sales. In 2006 was only topped by Toyota and General Motors as far as vehicle production according to OICA.
Ford divisions and subsidiaries include: Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercury and Volvo Cars. Aston Martin was also part of the Premiere Automotive Group which is a division of the Ford Motors Company until 2007 when it was purchased by a British consortium for GBP 479 million.
Ford is also one of the companies which introduced several innovations to the automotive industry, one of them is the production assembly line which is not only used in car manufacturing but in fields such as technology, construction, etc. At some point the Ford Motor Company considered suing other car companies because they used the assembly line in their production. Ford decided not to go through with the lawsuit because they realized it was vital to creation and expansion of the industry as a whole.
Due to such innovations, Ford's factories became extremely efficient which was of benefit to employees who were getting paid very well, and yet the production costs were relatively low, this later became known as Fordism.
Today, this company takes great pride in their vehicles which have been accepted worldwide for their quality levels. Cars models such as Mustang created a great buzz in the automotive community ever since it's first generation. Contemporary Mustangs have increased the passion of many car enthusiast who have created many customization packages which are referred to as MODs. Changes and upgrades to headlights, bumper, decal additions, tail, rims, tires, paint all contribute to the way these cars are perceived.
Aston Martin set a very high standard during the time it was under Ford's supervision and it's cars were featured in films such as 007's "Casino Royale". On the the other hand, Jaguar which is a subsidiary of Ford, keeps producing luxury cars which set a standard in elegance. The Jaguar model XJR-15 gave a new twist to the car style this subsidiary produces since its appearance is that of a sports-performance vehicle.
This company has also diversified its portfolio by not only focusing in sport and luxury cars but in vehicles which run using alternative fuels to keep the environment clean. These vehicles use CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), electricity as well as a combination of Ethanol and Gasoline. Currently there seems to be significant efforts aimed towards the production and distribution of E85 (Ethanol 85%) fuels so it will be interesting to know what kind of fuels future Ford vehicles will use.
