Hi, anyone has experience changing the headlight bulb before? I find the space to hand on is very small. Do we have to take out the whole head lamp set? Anyone has experience b4, please share ur experience.
Thanks.

normally i do have low battery during start, but that because i have used battery power to park my car on the evening. But if i travel more than 5km, the FC will increase well like up to 15km/l and will back to normal after ~10km with ~22km/l... smile.gif


Added on January 3, 2013, 8:40 amhi pc owners, do anyone experience changing spotlight bulb? during my 3rd service they found out both of my spotlight not function and after inspection the bulbs are faulty. They said bulbs are not covered on warranty service. And cost of 1 bulb about rm60.. lor!!!

I checked the socket number for the fog light bulb, it is H16. This is very special number(uncommon). When I asked bulbs seller, no one has such H16 stock. Hence, it is expensive i think. When Google, u can find such H16 for LED bulb which is shown in one of the video above. Not sure H16 has common socket as H11.....anyone know abt this?

Why do you want to change the fog light to led white light?? Actually according to an Uncle who is the shop owner selling all kind of led bulb at pasar road who advice me not to change it to white light. Coz when raining is not clear...yellow light is better at raining time driving. According to him is that white light will reflect at the rain and wouldn't able to see anything other then white rain reflection in front. That change my mind to replace the bulb to white light  tongue.gif

I only bought 2 led bulbs from him for my PC interior compartment lighting(very cheap only cost me RM12 bucks...Uncle very nice guy).

Wan, u r absolutely correct. I was thinking to get higher intensity fog light bulbs but unfortunately dun hv.
What color of ur LED?

This is not normal, it is missing in operation manual/process unless reasonable explanation. I insisted my my salesman to feedback to Toyota manager. I think you guys shd do the same.

Actually i thot of changing my low/high beam bulbs with either Toyota Camry or Prius cos it is "whiter" plus a bit blueish from some angles. Mind posting some photos for sharing....
*
Sorry dude, din take any photo bcos it is very very easy. Just unplug the socket from the bulb behind the headlamp set, by pressing the catch to release it. Turn the bulb leg anti-clockwise, then take it out. Replace with reverse procedure. Remember dun touch the surface of the bulb.
If you are not sure, pls refer to owner's manual 381~383, there are diagrams and procedure.

That why they usually say install at your own risk. If ECU spoil, they are not going to pay for you. Anyway is still up to the owner to take the risk or not. I am going for it, is becoz I want to track the code in it(coding for mine Scangauge device) or see what component they use....maybe use a PIC chip to do the job.  hmm.gif
*
There are 2 types, the one i got is OEM without label and the photo shown in P13 has label and price is RM170. It is up to individual to choose what quality. If i know mine without label, I rather buy the one with proper label.

yesterday i was driving through a very straight road and i stepped all in, somehow the speed is capped around 125-126km/h and cant go beyond that. i have not tried stepping my pedal when going downhill, perhaps that way i could get more than 126km/h. can anyone verify this?
*
Underneath the pedal, there is a stopper to cap the speed.

Good Morning. Does anyone know how I could get this infernal mark removed? sad.gif .my car has come in contact with someone else car and I have tried to remove the mark as much as possible but these are the stubborn one...

This is mark, not scratch. It can be removed by polishing it. I prefer to use PG Polymer Sealant which is not so abrasive.

I was thinking of Fix It Pro, the pen if you guys have come across it? But then that's for scratches...

So this PG Polymer Sealant could work on it? Can be obtained at some accessories shop like Ace hardware? How much does it cost?
*
I normally got it from Jusco, u could try ACE. It is around RM30~40. I have been using it for 20 yrs, very good product. Try to put the bottle of PG Polymer Sealant on top surface b4 and after polishing, you will know how smooth is the surface.

mine also kena yesterday when come out from tight parking spot due to, the other car parked too near to my car. however it is minor one.

a few pages back, forumer smliu recommend PG sealant to fix the infernal mark. it is available at Ace hardware. i never tried one before, not sure how effective it is.

This only effective on removing the mark on the paint, not the cut/scratch mark.
