    2014 Corolla Headlight Bulb

    Interesting comments. Agree with most posters. Def cannot put a low beam bulb in the hi beam cavity as beam pattern will blind oncoming drivers. I've modified stuff over the years etc, but sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and replace a bad part with the same oem part for best...

    A/C Takes a Bit to Get Cold

    Clarkemode, I haven't noticed a change in vent temp depending on speed up or slowing down. Is this in auto mode? I don't use auto mode, I just keep it set to coldest LO on the dial and play with the fan speed. So I'm less likely to notice what you are describing. Sorry. Klinetime574, thanks...

    Ac cooling issue

    I know my response is to an older thread but I will add my data point to the discussion for future reference. Im in Florida mid 90 and high humidity. When I start car after it sits overnight, the ac blows hot non cooled air for precisely 45-60 seconds. I know how ac works. This is unusual and...

    Anyone have inferior black spray coverage on 2015 S 17in rims?

    So I'm washing my new s with the factory black sprayed rims. I happened to notice a lot of residual spotty overspray in between and behind the spokes on all 4 rims. Hmm, what's up with this? Any S owners with similar? It appears on first blush to be inferior coverage imo. Ive had rims powder...

    MPG

    Two factors I noticed from the posts......first the lady lives in south Florida. I just did 20k suburban miles of delivery in a 2004 Corolla 1.8L auto that I tracked mileage in for central Florida. My ac is always on which sucks 10 percent fuel mileage right off the top. I kept tight records...

    2015 Corolla LE Eco Premium-Extremely Rough Ride after 3,500 miles-HELP!

    My new s with 1000 miles rides like a luxury car. An old instructor taught us newbies that to insure success when diagnosing a problem you have to ask the right questions. 1) is this a complaint on smooth pavement, rough, or any type of surface? 2) did the problem occur suddenly or gradually...

    2015 Headlight Indicator

    I got the s version and the idiot engs should be reschooled. As pointed out, the yellow headlight icon is obscured by the steering wheel. I'm tall and I like my seat riding high. Don't need the icon though. When it's gettin dark, the full on blue dash gets my attention and I flip the stalk from...

    High beam

    I posted earlier in another thread. I have both the high beam and h16 type 2 6th gen Jdmastar installed. I've learned that bulb intensity and scatter pattern are very subjective when you write about it. And Internet pix don't always do justice to what it looks like when you'r standing in front...

    New cars first oil change to remove metal from break in worth it?

    E.D. That's a good question. I'm old school and I just hit the 1000 mile mark on my 2015 and been thinking the same thing. But recent experience with Mobil 1 ep oil has me more concerned with the factory filter possibly containing these metal fragments. 10k miles on the syn oil doesn't scare me...

    LED Parking Lights 168

    Yea. Get your neighbor girl next door or SO with small hands to assist. Passenger is moderately hard to get your hand up in there to grab hold of the socket then twist quarter turn and it'll drop down. Driver side....pop the battery hold down nut 10mm I think, and slide the battery towards the...

    LED Tail Lights 7443

    You're right. Jdmastar is a good choice bang for the buck. I have and am running jdmastar bulbs in some of my cars. With the 2015, I actually did an a b comparison with the jdmastar and the jlc concept. I didn't see a big brightness improvement with the jdmastar so I went with the distinctively...

    Those odd looking cut outs in under the front bumper??

    Yep...Curb feelers with fancy mpg cutouts for those triple digit freeway romps. Gotta save gas money to buy more aftermarket stuff right?

    A/C Takes a Bit to Get Cold

    This is not a phenomanom. I know exactly what Clarkemode is experiencing. My brand new 100miler 2015 does it. Every car I ever owned with AC will turn on the compressor within seconds of ignition or motor running. You'll get cool air or at least air that is not as hot as cabin air coming out...

    Horn Replacement

    I've done horn upgrades. Plug and play is not totally accurate. It depends on the current draw of the new horns. If you're gonna upgrade for more audible output, install a pair of quality horns of your choosing. You need some basic wiring skills or a buddy who can do it for you. Wire the 2 horns...

    LED Map and Dome.

    Bcrewcaptain, nice mod. I did a similar on my mr2 dome. Ran 18in strip under each visor and dremeled a slit in backside of the plastic dome cover, snaked the wires in and cheated. I soldered them instead of modifying a festoon bulb. You can solve any car problem with a little ingenuity!

    LED Tail Lights 7443

    I like a really bright rear tail brake led. So the texters here in sunny Florida MIGHT NOTICE that I have pressed the brake pedal and will subsequently be slowing down which will require action on THEIR part so... I am using jlcconcept 50watt Cree red led 7443 or t10. ($60 pair) These have good...

    ANYBODY REPLACE TAILIGHT BULBS WITH LED?

    Just bought a 2015 s plus and changed all bulbs to led. JDM ASTAR sx chipset for the signals were brightest. Look for them on Amazon. Also used their 921 reverse bulbs. Diodedynamics has a brighter bulb but not worth $90 cost for the pair imo. Next, I liked jlcconcept rear 50watt Cree...
