Maybe its supposed to do it, but I noticed tonight, that when the car is turned on and light switch it set to off, and then to either auto or on, the cluster lights dims from its normal intensity to less intense. Does that happen with the regular halogen bulbs as well ?I never really payed close attention to it before.

View 2 RepliesI installed some 5K HID's with 35W ballasts and a relay on my 15 toyota camry SE. When I start the system, it says check charging system and once the engine starts it goes away. I initially had 50W ballasts installed but I changed it to 35W as the 50W caused the HIDs to be too bright for my taste.
View 4 RepliesSo I was searching around online and it seems this thing happens to some ppl after lowering their cars. I'm getting a loud pop/clunk noise from the front left side only. Seems that's the most common place ppl are having this type of issue with. What it could be? My mechanic wont be able to look at it till Friday. So not sure on what to do. The sound only happens when I'm hitting bumps on the road.
View 6 RepliesHave probably 1500 miles on my '15 XSE. Got in the car today and noticed that there was a crack in the instrument cluster plastic shield. I just detailed the interior of my car 400 miles ago and it wasn't there and I've been the only person in my car.
View 5 RepliesI own a 2012 Toyota Camry LE (TCLE), and recently I've noticed that the "instrument cluster" shows "MAINT REQD" warning light on for more than a few seconds when I start the car. All other warning lights do turn off while the "MAINT REQD" is still ON for a few seconds more than I usually remember. This car has about 25K miles, and I bought it with 19K miles. Should I take it to a dealer for a check up? By the way, I was waiting until the end of February to take the car for a oil change, but I am now concerned with this stupid WARNING light

View 6 RepliesAccent 2012. I replaced the trunk and map lights with LEDs and they worked okay. I did the dome light last and something caused the interior lights to not come on. The light switch is set to door for the dome and middle position for the map lights. I am pretty sure I have the LED dome light polarity correct because it did come on for a bit while I was seating it.
Now the map and dome lights don't come on. I checked the 'ROOM LP 1' fuse and it looked good but I replaced it with one of the spare 10A fuses anyway. Still not working. The trunk LED does still light.
I searched this site and found in the 2007-2012 santa fe forum under 'front dome light not working when doors open' which mentions a blown diode in the dome light housing causing a similar issue.
So first time esc light came up on cluster was around 56k miles. No cruise control or ability to use obd2 port. No cel just esc light on..... Dealer fixed by replacing a blown fuse behind fuse panel. That lasted maybe 500 miles and esc light back on with same symptoms. I replaced fuse myself, which fixed it, just to last maybe 100 miles before coming back on again. Replaced fuse again and waiting to see how long it lasts. I will be going back to dealer to see what they come up with but not sure what is making it blow fuses all of a sudden and so frequently?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to install a pair of headrest screens in my 02 and can't seem to fish the wire down the seat. I have removed the hog rings at the bottom of the seat but when I try fishing a wire coat hanger down from the top I am hitting something about 5" down and can't get past it. I am a little leery of removing the leather seat cover (especially since I don't know what I am doing).
View 1 RepliesI purchased a set of HIDs for my 2010 SE fogs last week from DDM Tuning and couldn't wait to install them. Since I purchased my low beam set from there, it made a lot of sense to get the matching pair from them too. Anyway, after the install, all was working fine. I did a few test sessions to make sure they would turn off and on the way they were supposed to and they passed.
As I am driving home from a friends house (shortly after the install), I realized that my switch was turn to ON and not AUTO. I turned my switch from ON to AUTO while driving.. After doing so, I noticed that the road in front of my were not as bright as they were before turning the switch. I pulled over and saw that my fog lights were no longer on.. I played with the fog light switch switch, turning them off and on and the only light I would see go on and off, was the one on my dash (the fog lamp indicator).
I have since switched ballasts with my low beams and STILL.. NOTHING. I don't understand what happened and why BOTH fogs have gone out?!? I checked the 10A fuse under the hood that is linked to the front fogs and it's good. I checked the HID bulb and it looks to be burned out, BUT I also plugged my stock halogen H11 bulb into the socket and NOTHING. That puzzles me more..
Found some threads on this but mostly for the 05-07 models. I am wondering if it is possible to install the upgraded message center (right above the steering column) into the dash of a 2012 F-350 XLT that has only the 2-line text message center?
View 1 RepliesMy old flip style rear view mirror was getting a little bad looking on the bottom of the mirror, so I decided to go pick up an OEM auto-dimming one. I did not care for homelink as I have no need for it, nor do I need temp since thats on the car already, so I wasn't interested in a non oem mirror. Plus I like simplicity, so plug and play is always nice. I paid $70 for the mirror, you can expect to pay around that as well.
Anyways, from my understanding, our Camrys should come prewired for the auto-dimming mirror, or at least the sunroof equipped models should come prewired. The plug sits in the overhead console near the drivers side sunvisor taped down. It's just a little white plug with a black sheath around the wiring.
Tools Needed:
-Your hands
-A smallish hex key (I don't know the exact size) or a smallish torx screwdriver
From start to finish, this shouldn't take you longer than 10 minutes to do. Let me emphasize first that you should make sure you're prewired for the auto-dimming mirror before you go out and buy one unless you prefer to hardwire things, or return things.
Step 1: Check if you're prewired for the mirror. Start by pulling down the overhead console. Push on the sunglasses holder to drop it down, grab on with both hands, and pull down. Don't worry, you shouldn't break anything, but don't pull down insanely hard otherwise you may pull some wires out of the harness attached to it. Now check near the drivers side sunvisor and see if theres a plug taped down, if there is, fantastic!
Step 2: (if you're not prewired for the mirror, you can stop here).Push that plug through the hole near the windshield to get that out of the way. You can now put the overhead console back on.
Step 3: Behind your stock rearview mirror, theres a little screw holding it on. You'll need either a hex key, or a torx screwdriver to remove it (although you can probably use a flathead to get it out if you want). DONT LOSE THAT SCREW. Once you unscrew it, pull up on the mirror to get it to slide out of the little metal mount its sitting on.
Step 4: Now that the old mirror is out, get the new mirror. Get the plug you pushed out of the overhead console and plug it into the mirror. Now, slide the mirror back onto that metal mount and then screw it in.
Step 5: Turn your key on, or to acc, and the mirror should now turn on. Easiest way to tell is if the compass comes up.
Step 5.5: Admire your hard work and your fancy new mirror!
