Yea, I mean the climate control display...

I changed them to blue last night and I've noticed they are always on. Never noticed it when it was green.

Just trying to find out why my driver side headlight's fuse keeps blowing.. Must have something to do with the centre console considering that's all I was doing last night until the headlight stopped working. Went to auto electrician today and changed a fuse. Worked fine until I tried to install the HIDs again. Blew again.. <_<

nice, its probably the blue leds are stronger than the greens. (even the blue leds i got now don't show under strong sunlight). Did you disconnect the battery when u worked?

also i dont think the centre console got anything to do with the headlights...

and how come u installed your HIDs again? what did u take them off for?

Process...

Started out the night perfectly normal. Green console, HID headlights.

Parked my car, took apart the console, fiddled around with the T5 12mm bulbs cause its latch is too big to fit straight in. Had to test and trial about 10 times, I guess I must have touched something. Anyway, after installation is complete. Driver side headlight doesn't work, so I thought it could be the ballast or or the bulb, so I changed the bulb and ballast across from the other side, doesn't work as well. Went and got teh OEM bulbs, lights up very slightly on the driver side.

Went to auto electrician today, he said it was a blown fuse. CHanged it, and it worked fine on the OEM bulbs. So I thought I'll put the HIDs back in again. and then it blew the fuse again. <_< Have to wait until weekday to visit electrician again.

Maybe I should have disconnected the battery, but it would ahve been so much hassle while test and trialing... :angry:

Having said that, I don't know how the centre console has anything to do with the headlights? I don't know... maybe I'm just clumsy?? <_<

Yeah u should dc the battery just make it loose and take off n put on as u like.

I was lazy too lol didn't take out the battery AT ALL. :P lucky for me it was just the passenger seltbelt warning light blew.

U didn't plug in the console when the key was in the "on" position right?

I assuming your new lights in the centre console are LEDs?

If they are it explains why you never noticed them on beforehand.

The halogen bulbs have the ability to dim if less voltage is going through them, whereas the LEDs will always be at the same luminosity.

Actually, I got the ones you suggested on the Workshop post.. :lol:

Although your halogen/HIDs headlights are still working fine... <_<

Could it be the shortage of power that's causing the fuse to break?? Just a random guess.. :rolleyes: I'll install another fuse tomorrow and see if it blows. Could be just a coincidence.

On another note, does the left LED in the climate control display seem darker than the right side and the time display? I've changed the bulbs and it's still the same?? :(

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
