    2014 Corolla - Wanting Opinions on Adding Fog Lights

    If they are good then the answer is yes. I would get factory housings and mounts, either from online or a wrecking yard, that way they are a proper fit then the only issue is to aim them.

    2013 Corolla - Question About the Security System

    for the life of me I can't find out where a member is from ;-(. Anyway I believe in the US the base L did not come with a key fob to control lock functions. Might have been an option though. Here in Canada the base (CE) did not even come with power locks or windows, had to get a package to get...

    2014 Corolla - Wanting Opinions on Adding Fog Lights

    fog lights are not meant to illuminate the road in front. When driving at night in fog the light will bounce off the water particles right back in your face. Try your brights and you see what happens. What fog are meant to do is give off light low to the ground and off to the sides so it does...

    2014 Corolla - Strut Brace

    well, not sure if the corolla will have them. but traditionally the upper strut brace will be bolted to the top of the suspension. if you lift your hood, look for where the top of the struts are bolted to the unit-body (look right above your tire). if there is a brace a bar of some sort will be...

    2015 Corolla - Automatic Transmission

    at what speed are you down shifting? if your not going fast enough to be in 4 and you move it over to 3 then there will not be a change. if you are at high speed at you move it you will feel a shift down. if the later is the case then the tranny might not be shifting into overdrive (4) and you...

    2015 Corolla - Automatic Transmission

    well, if you count the shift points while your driving then after the 3rd shift point you will be in fourth. D is fourth gear and if someone wants to "gear" down why would there be a 4 to select? when you shift out of D then you are in 3 and so on, hence why there is 1-2-3-D (4). when in 1 the...

    2014 Corolla Front End on a 2010???

    Won't fit. to much difference. you would need fenders, hood, bumper, light, bumper cover. even then the lines won't match and I don't think all that will just bolt right up. Now a 2011-2013 front end will bolt up no problem.

    2013 Corolla - Headlight and Taillights

    for your headlights not sure, I figured they would be plug and play, so I don't know the difference. The rear lights on your trunk will fit on a 2009-2010 trunk. when the 'rolla was redesigned in 2011 the North American version got a slightly different trunk lid. The rest of the world stayed...

    2011 Corolla - What Other Oil Can I Use Instead of 0W-20?

    Here in Nanaimo BC the synthetic is more expensive as well. Do as you wish but if you do not use the oil recommended and something happens Toyota will likely not help to fix for free. You can do your own work (oil change and etc) but keep all documentation and use what manual states to use. As...

    2012 Corolla - Need Spare Immobilizer Key?

    I think the key has a chip in it and it needs to match car. What I did with my GM vehicle was purchase a fob on ebay for 15 or something and took it to dealer to get coded for 30. If I went to dealer it would have cost nearly 200. There may be a number code (on the back of my GM fob there was)...

    Well, if auto air is not available in any model in your country it may be much more difficult to install it.

    2014 Corolla - License Plate Screws

    my metal screws are not rusting as they are stainless but the screw hole is starting to rust and it is only the second winter. I'm too lazy now but I will be looking at either replacing with plastic ones or treat the insignificant surface rust (insignificant for now anyway) and use a mild thread...

    2015 Corolla L Keyless Entry

    not sure but my question is why settle for a particular vehicle for price and spend money on getting options that are on other models. Why not spend the extra cash a and get the model with keyless entry already in it?

    2014 Corolla - Auto Start

    I don't think it is worth it. if it comes factory installed that is one thing but to have someone splice one it that could potentially cause electrical issues is not worth it in my book.
