Im interested in purchasing a new HID kit. I was just wondering if any1 with a facelift corolla has a 4300K-4500K HID kit on thier car, and if they found that they were suitable. I've had previous experience with a 6000K HID kit, but found it too bright.

i had 6500K HID's on my 1zz, the kit that i had came with a rubber bung so i drilled the same size hole in the backing place on the headlights and just pushed it in and it worked like a charm think they were KDG's

MMM, I bought a set of 4000k Osram cool blue halogen globes today. All I can say is that they are less yellow and thats about it. Nothing blue or white about them. Visablility is quite good though. O well I suppose thats what u get for 26 bux. I'll need to buy some HID's.

      Air Conditioner not workimg

      Air Conditioner has stopped cooling the car. Have had it looked at by Air Conditioning Specialists and they indicated it was an electrical issue. Have had an Auto Electrician look at it and he could not find any faults with Relays or fuses but power is not getting to the compressor. He is under the impression it might have something to do with either a Faulty SLIP Sensor or it would be the Air Conditioning ECU. Has anyone had a similar problem and was there a way to fix it. Thanks

      1990 Camry sv21 overheating- Rad fan not starting automatic

      Thank you for help in the past! Now again facing some challenges! When the temperature gauge needle moves beyond the middle point, I noticed that the radiator fans are not running. When stop or Key OFF and then ON after few seconds then the radiator fan start running. I am assuming that radiator fan thermo/ radiator switch or fan radiator relays are not malfunctioning. Firstly, I tried to the relays (4pin,5pin). There are two 4pins relay, 1) the 4 pins relay (90987-02004) tested by supplying 12v power and I hear the click sound and tested the multimeter-continuity of the other two legs, I sound beep on multimeter. while 2) the 4 pins relay (90987-03001) did make the click sound, and when tested with the other two legs shows continuity on multimeter-continuity. Secondly, The 5 Pins relay (90987-04002) (2pins on onside and 3 pins on other side. I am not sure how to test this type of relay. I tried to search on google but help on text or video for specifically this model of relay. I tested randomly and found that in set of 3 pins side between Pin 1 and Pin 2, there is resistance (de-energized) and 2pins set on other side, lets says between pin 4 and pin5, there is no continuity. As I energized (12v at pin 1 and ground at pin 3), I hear click sound, there is continuity between pin4 and pin5. I hope it means its functioning though there is not set standard operational specifications to compare. I tested the similar way to all the relays I pulled out and fuses are good. I put all the relays and fuses back. But the same problem as I mentioned earlier, fan does not start when temperature is increasing beyond limit. however, when I start A/C, both the radiator fans start. Same thing is repeated as I mentioned earlier. I do have oil Leake from sides of distributor, but it was there before for couple of years. This time I going to fix with new distributor because last mechanic said that the inner seal he can't fix so I have to go for new distributor. However, I am not sure is this part of the overheating cause? Also, attach is picture of engine area, if anybody can help me locate radiator fan switch in the picture. thanks Any help! Thanks so much

      Sorry for doing and dump and run I thought I had updated the post. Problem was immobiliser wasn’t talking to the key after all that. I have LPG on the car as well. I was after the picture so I could take that out of the equation initially but honestly wasn’t sure which part was lpg plumbed in. Eventually found fuse box for that to disable. as an aside what OBD2 software people use?

      2003 Camry ACV36R Engine Oil in Sparkplug Well

      Hi Tony I replaced the rocker cover gasket back in 2021 when I had the head off due to a leaking head gasket. You are right, it is a 4 cylinder. For now, I intend to just monitor the situation and check if any oil is accumulating in that sparkplug well tube. The Camry has now done 256381 km, is in daily use, and is still the most reliable car I have owned. Regards Paul

      Are you looking specifically for a 40 Series Aurion engine bay without the beauty cover ? I have one of my 50 series if it helps. They both have the same engine more or less. This was just before getting a bath.

      2003 Camry ACV36R Engine Oil in Sparkplug Well

      Hey Paul, there can be several scenarios you have your plug sitting in oil and the most common is a worn rocker cover gasket or well tube seals. I'm assuming it's a 4cyl right ? Judging from the picture, the plug seems to have some good colouration, indicating the engine is running fine, so I would bet that it's your rocker cover gasket or tube seals. Have you ever had the rocker cover off ?
