    2014-15 Corrolla Complete DIY Parts for Modding/Upgrades List

    I'm biased because I quoted K&Ns own FAQs where they state that? or that I have no use for an overpriced drop in filter of any type? I am not, nor have I ever been a K&N fanboy, but each to their own, especially those with deeper pockets than myself, which is most.

    Can I fill my tank with Hi-Octane Only?

    At least with the fuels in the US, 87 octane is all you need for these vehicles, anything higher is a waste of money and serves no purpose other than draining your wallet faster. Now if there are any additives or differences in the refinement process for your fuels, there may be a need to think...

    2014-15 Corrolla Complete DIY Parts for Modding/Upgrades List

    easiest response to this is right from K&N...http://www.knfilters.com/faq.htm#1 The filter itself will give you no power, or mpg increases. A poorly maintained one, will however DEcrease both. I have had them in several vehicle, from an econobox, to a rock crawler, to a fairly heavily modified...

    Warranty and Maintenance Plan, is it Worth it?

    Unless you don't have 2K in that emergency repair fund.... then adding it to the monthly payments may be the difference between Nikes or Goodyears.At stated above, the peace of mind aspect is a big thing, and if you want to argue THAT point...you can meet my wife and get back to me.

    Adding cruise contro

    Just the part and 10-15 minutes at the most. It doesn't get much easier. Spend as much as you want on the part, I ordered the cheapest generic one from ebay, ended up being a Toyota part.

    Factory USB port

    What is the goal for the port? If its just for charging devices, that's an easy fix. If you're looking for phone/tablet interface control, it's going to be a pain, slightly less if it's an Iwhatever since they like to cater to Apple, but will still need additional parts. Pioneer has NEVER been...

    Warranty and Maintenance Plan, is it Worth it?

    When we got ours a month or so ago, I decided to spring for basically the same things. Granted, my car was new, but this car I just want zero effort. we read the fine print. Pretty much the only thing we need to do is the consumables(brakes/tires/wiper blades) free oil changes/inspections for...

    High beam

    I paid $11 each for my bulbs...check under the sofas cushions

    High beam

    Step one, get a relay harness to boost the power going to the lights, the factory wiring causes you to lose about 15% output right off the bat. One you do that, you can also go with a bigger bulb. Hella makes some 110W units that fit right in, they certainly match the output from the low beams

    My Personal 2015 Corolla experience thread.

    Check local installers to see what is available, preferences on a website won't matter if you can't get it put in. It's going to be expensive, buckle up. Go to amazon for bulb reviews, there are a lot out there, make sure they're gonna fit properly, are as bright as stock, and you know how to...

    Fog lights questions

    The fog lights(unless modified) are designed to be on with low beams, and OFF with the high. If you are seeing anything different, either the vehicle has been modified, or there is an issue.

    Cruise control install complete(2015 L)

    Literally it's a matter of taking a screwdriver, pressing in 3 clips, airbag pops off the front of the wheel, slide on to of steering column, pop decorative cover from side of steering column, slide switch in place, 2 screws hold it in. Push connector on, and snap everything back in place, there...

    Cruise control install complete(2015 L)

    Correct, 3 clips and it's out. Contrary to popular belief, the airbag is not going to go off if you hit the steering wheel hard enough or pull it out. You would have to directly short out the terminals on the back of the airbag for that to happen. It doesn't hurt for peace of mind, but you're...

    Item was http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Cruise-Control-Switch-84632-34011-For-Toyota-Camry-Corolla-Lexus-/181783795406?hash=item2a532896ce&vxp=mtr Which interestingly enough was the actual toyota part, not an off brand, I would expect that was a fluke, but hey, not going to complain. Lowes had the...

    I would suggest re-reading, certainly not the case for all of those examples. State by state will vary, but there is no"federal exemption"

    Also becoming more and more of a ticketable offense. I know several states have it written were it falls under the "obstructed plate" category and it's a pretty good fine. Lot easier not to run lights and avoid paying the stupid tax in the first place.

    Cruise control install complete(2015 L)

    In all honesty, I didn't even notice that it was there until the day after purchase. I'm ok spending a few bucks on the features I need, if I don't have to spend them stepping up to the model with the features I don't. There wasn't anything other than the cruise I needed from the step up, so...
