Camry :: No Covers For Fog Lights


Aug 14, 2007

I finally installed fog lights this past weekend.Mine is a Kentucky made Camry, so no covers for the fog lights. I had to cut them out, and I do not believe that no matter how careeful you cut the light holes it will ever look good as good as a factory bumber ready for fog lights. I was ready for the imperfection Especially considering that my dealer asked for around 1600 dollars to install fog lights.

make sure you clean and sandpaper the inside of the bumper really well. It held the brackets so strongly I was surprised. Electrical was a breeze .. I used an existing grommet thingie to slip the single cable in, but I am not happy with that. It is going through the side of the grommet and it might/will let egine gasses into the passenger compartment for sure. I will most probably get the original turn stalk and the relay and use the original wiring afterwards. Right now I used the wiring that came with the kit.

Golf IV R32 :: How To Remove A-Pillar Covers

The fabric has been falling off most of the interior pieces, so I figured I'd start with trying to reglue the fabric on the A-Pillars. I searched the topic & found threads that said to remove the airbag emblem by prying gently, then remove a screw behind that. So I gently remove the emblem & find I have snapped off the 2 posts holding it in place, & there is no screw behind the emblem. What is the removal procedure?

Prius (Gen 4) :: Headlight Covers Already Developing Haze

I've had my Blizzard Pearl 2016 for about 5 weeks and about 2500 miles. Today I took it through the automatic carwash and while I was wiping it off afterwards I found I couldn't get the headlight covers completely clean. It looked like there was a drop of moisture on the inside and also the beginnings of the micro-scratches/haze I had on the inside of my 2010 Prius after 5 years or so.

Phaeton :: Any Way To Keep Front Vent Covers Open With Car Off?

I took my car in for its first detail (while mine, that is). How to keep the front vent covers open with the car off, for purposes of cleaning the vent directional slats. The best I could figure out in a hurry was, with the key in accessory or the engine on, to switch climate to manual (direct air) to open the covers, set the fan to lowest speed (one light segment above off,) and position the vent switches to furthest left light illuminated (again, one position above off.) Is there any way to keep the covers open with the car, or at least the HVAC fan, off?

Gen 2 Prius :: High MPG With Wheel Covers Removed

I have removed the 15" wheel covers from my 2012 Prius since they interfered with accessing both the lug nuts and the tire stem (what a stupid, cheap wheel cover design), and replaced them with 2.5" center caps to protect the axle threads from corrosion. Although I didn't rigorously compare mpg before and after removing the wheel covers, on a recent out-and-back trip with the new center caps installed, the Prius averaged 56.5 mpg on a hilly, 240 mile course, at a speed of 66 mph (dry road, not very windy, air temp about 75F, cruise control employed, no hypermiling techniques). I was quite pleasantly surprised at the high mpg (even better than I typically get with my 07 Prius on that same trip), and can't imagine that the mpg could be much better with the wheel covers on.

Prius (2010-12) :: Removal Of Wheel Covers

I always thought the wheel covers on my 2012 Prius IV were dorky but wasn't willing to spend to upgrade them. Then I got a flat tire, and you have to remove the wheel cover to take the wheel off. Wow, the naked wheel looks GREAT! Blackout metal with nice spokes. I had seen Prii with similar setups on the road and had assumed they were a customization or an upgrade.

The only problem is the lack of a center cap, which is really only apparent when looking at the wheel straight in from the center, which hardly done. So I pulled all four wheel covers off and stored them. Have others who have done this seen any negative consequences? Especially to not having a center cap?

Intrigue :: 2000 3.5L - Oil Loss / Valve Covers Leaking

I have a 2000 Intrigue 3.5L 155,000 Mi ... Oil use has been about 1 QT at 3000 miles since 120,000 miles. Before that I wasn't keeping track.

The valve covers were leaking pretty bad and could be smelled burning off. I replaced them along with my P/S pump. There also was fluid in the engine valley that I believe was P/S Fluid..

I changed the oil and I was 1.5 Qt low at 2,000 miles. So it is suddenly WORSE. Even though I replaced the leaking valve covers. There is also currently not fluid in the engine valley. I park in the same place every night and do not notice a puddle. Also there is no noticeable blue smoke from the exhaust. Just a little white as it is winter.

I am looking for where else the oil could be going that it doesn't leave a puddle on the ground.

Phaeton :: Headlamp Washer Covers Get Open When Parking The Car Every Once In A While

Every once in a while one of the headlamp washer covers will be open when I park the car. When that happens I just push it back into place, but it would seem that there should be some sort of auto-retract spring or something to keep it from gravity opening. Is there a spring that might be missing on mine?

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: Tonneau Covers Modification?

I was just offered a free tonneau cover today - it's a hard cover that's "split" (it opens in sections) and came off a Ranger (it's either an '03 or an '05 - I can't remember) - the guy who's giving it to me took it off his truck when he had a camper shell put on. He claims it ran him about $900 at the time he had it put on - I think he got it from a Ford dealership...

Anyway, I'd like some input from folks who have these covers on their trucks. Trying to get some pro's and con's from people... Is weight an issue? I hear this thing is pretty heavy, but I haven't seen it yet so I haven't gauged for myself the weight. How much would it affect gas mileage? Are these things effective at all in reducing wind drag or is that another myth? How accessible is the bed with one of these covers on? I understand that the sections can be removed, if needed...

The bed rails on my truck are already pretty tore up from the aluminum bed rail caps that are on there now (it used to be a service truck) so, I'm not really concerned about that... I've also got a drop-in bed liner that, I think, was installed by whatever dealership in Montana this truck was originally purchased at... Anything else I should know about these covers?

Camry :: Normal Lights Are Dim / Auto On Position Results In No Lights / High Beams Ok

2008 Camry Hybrid. Normal lights are dim. Auto on position results in no lights. A turn brings the lights on, but appears to be a "parking" position. High beams OK

The dealership has no clue - they wanted to sell new bulbs. They are barely bright enough to drive at night, certainly not 10% dimmer from age as they described.. (plus the auto on does not work ).
