Going to ask what is likely a dumb question........ Just had my bulbs and ballast replaced under warranty and tonight was the first time I drove at dark and they seemed like they were pointed at the ground. I couldnt see more than what seemed like 20 feet in front of me(might be a slight exaggeration but not alot really), driver was worse than the passenger by a bit.
View 4 RepliesI just ran into an issue with my 08 Sonata. Tonight while I was en-route to a emergency call, I came very close to hitting a dear. The low beams are angled almost to the ground and I don't know how to angle them up. I have to have my fog lights lit to see the road signs when my high beams are not on. Also need to know how to angle those as well.
View 8 RepliesI just put in a new headlight for my 08 600hl. My issue is the head light is pointed downwards. Is there a thread that shows how to adjust the headlight.
View 5 RepliesJust had my alignment done last week. Left toe was -0.27 meaning the front of the front wheel was pointed slightly outward. Right wheel was at .01.
View 2 RepliesCar is on airlift slam xl and on a set of bbs style 5's 17x8 et20 with 195/40 all around. problem is the front subframe hits the ground already before it completely airs out so i got some front tires still showing in the front.
View 1 RepliesI am getting 20 intermittent ground fault codes and the kid I bought the car from had an alternator put in. I see a terminal closest to the front of the car on the alternator that has no thick wire attached to it and when I was at the junkyard they had wires connected to them. I cleaned all other grounds on the car that I can access so I think that could be the issue but I don't know where the wire should lead to and how the alternator should be grounded!
View 1 RepliesWell my car is crapping out lately,
I put a new steering rack in my mk4 1.8t jetta about a week before I parked it for winter. I went out to the garage yesterday and noticed a pool of PS fluid on the ground, I located one very small leak from the bottom banjo bolt on the rack (needs new crush washers, Was in a rush and didn't have time to pick new ones up :bang head: ).
But the part that confuses me is there is a puddle on/under the passenger side subframe, the rack boot appears to be dry, and I don't believe the new rack is faulty, they are supposed to be all tested and approved before reaching the buyer. and when I turn the car on I can't see a leak anywhere even with the wheel off and a decent view of the rack.
My headlights are getting foggy and I don't feel like polishing them anymore. I had it done about year and a half ago and the yellowing is coming back.
I heard TYC replacement headlights assemblies are decent and they are cheap.
How's the fit/quality etc, specifically on gen 5s?
I am talking about straight replacement retaining the OEM function. Not into HIDs and all that stuff at all.
2005 prius. My passenger side headlight bulb went out. so I replaced both bulbs. Now my headlight aim lower than before. I don't know why. Mines are halogen. I checked auto-leveling system, but doesn't look like anything wrong with it. So I tried manually adjusting the height, CW, CCW doesn't look any different.
View 2 RepliesThe headlights on my dad's 2003 Camry has yellowed up really bad and I can barely see anything when I'm driving it at night. I'm thinking about buying a restoration kit for it or just replacing the entire headlight assemblies. I like the look of some aftermarket for the Gen 5 and 5.5. I just wanna know if I should buy aftermarket headlights or just replace them with OEMs. which headlight restoration kit is the most effective?

2003 xle with foggy headlights. Bought some aftermarket units.
Looking for the straight skinny on getting them out. Some have told me I have to drop the front bumper. Seems extreme to me.
I'm looking to replace the headlights and turn signals on my 2002 Excursion - I've seen loads on Ebay, but don't really know how to tell what ones are ok? I like the chrome style, and like the led lights too - but mainly I just want the front of the truck to look more modern (I am buying the 05 style grill too)...
View 10 RepliesI have a mkvi gti with all stock suspension except rear sway bar. And I'm right about to order driver gear springs. But have a question about suspension. My rear driver side of the car sits about half inch lower then then rear passenger side on a flat ground. Would this be caused by springs? Or struts? Or what. Planning on ordering the driver gear springs but what the real problem is. I want the driver gear so I'm a bit lowered but not crazy low since the roads in my home town are awful and my street I have to do figure 8's all the way down it to not hit a pot hole.
View 3 RepliesWell now I have to replace the multi function switch due to moving my steering wheel and the headlights sometimes working and turning signals not working. I saw a great video on youtube about changing a Multi Function Switch and it shows where the air bag needs to be removed. I was hoping that since my truck is an older 1997 F250 LD I wouldn't have to remove the airbag. Is there a way to do this w/out messing with the airbag on the 1997?
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering about the HUD messages I've posted in below. I didn't have any errors at all, and then all of a sudden I have two. Is it possible that both of my lights have gone out (almost simultaneously) after this many miles? Are there any other factors which might cause this type of message when the lights are actually fine? Or would the easiest option to be to simply replace the lights and clear the error....unsure. I've read there's a known issue with the lights.
View 3 RepliesI have a 2000 suburban and it's leaking anti freeze but not going on the ground not sure where the leaking anti freeze is going to. it started out with no heat I, with my dad replace the cabin filters and got front heat back but after awhile I lost heat only in the front I have rear heat. not sure what the problem is? I am afraid to take it to a dealer and get scammed. it's not over heating or getting hot, but in the winter when it first started it i doled hard and it sounded like something was wrong with the lifter?
View 6 RepliesThe dealer tells me my oil is leaking and I need a new oil pan. After leaving the car in the garage overnight, I backed it out this morning and there is absolutely nothing under the car except a couple of water puddles (we've been having rain). Can my oil leak and not get on the ground?
View 7 RepliesI have written a lot over past years about my 2002 Sienna. It has always been very low on oil consumption, even over 200,000 miles.
In Sept/Oct during my annual visit to the States it used a quart in 3200 miles, which is more than in the past.
Last week, for the first time ever, I saw oil under the car on the concrete. First thing I looked at was the drain plug. Solid, and no oil on it.
Then, the filter. Ditto. No oil on the bottom nor under it.
I looked further and there is oil around the edge of the metal part on top of the motor which is obviously the valve cover. So, I am assuming the valve cover gaskets are oozing based on where the oil is visible.
But, first, I will check to see if the screws on the cover are loose, just in case.
As time passes, I will look around in other places. I realize a quart in 3200 miles is not the end of the world, but if I can make it better, why not?
If I can, I will wait until my next trip to the States, next October to do repairs other than checking for loose bolts/screws.
Last night i got into my car and my headlights did not level. I recently lowered the car (a month ago) and the headlights were fine until yesterday. I had not touched the sensor or motor when i lowered the car and i am confused about why nothing happened until last night.
View 5 RepliesSometimes when I turn on the headlights, they do a dance. They level themselves up and down, in and out. Other times, they just come on.
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to run the LED DRL's while headlights are on? Vagcom code? euroswitch? Not really too sure just figured I would throw this out there.. Somewhere in the options on the MFD??
I think if your parking brake is engaged they are on but if its just headlights on they turn off. Also I'll just whore this pic of my R ....
