  1. Bulb socket is located all the way at the end near the fender. Just reach in there and unplug the connector and twist the socket and out pops the bulb. Just replace and follow reverse order!
  2. Roughly about $300 total. The mufflers were about $80 for the pair. The tips were about $35.00 for the pair. Then for the shop to use 2.25" piping and all the labor was about $150.
  3. Yes it pulls stronger than what it did.........but it pulls differently.......if that makes sense. Because you decrease backpressure, the tranny shifts differently because less vaccuum is created. But it still has the low end torque, it is not lost completely, but midrange and top pull much stronger!! I have also seen about a 7% increase in fuel economy over a tank of fuel even with my heavier foot now!! Not too shabby!!
  4. Part number is MAG 13945/104101 I think thats what they were......
  5. Sorry I threw away the boxes when I got the exhaust done. I will try to locate the exact part number for ya. They are called Magnaflow XL SS mufflers. Yes, this is true duals.....I changed out the cats to magnaflows, after that it was 2.25" piping from each cat back to the mufflers, no more resonators either. And those are Airspeed tips on the mufflers as the mufflers did not come with tips. There were no issues with space or mounting, everything lined up perfectly, just like stock because the mufflers are the same dimensions as the OEM ones........the muffler shop guy was very impressed with how it turned out as I was too!!
  6. This link should answer all your questions............... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1
  7. If you want new check the dealer........if you want a used one try www.taprecycling.com It stands for Toyota Auto Parts recycling. They are very reasonable on their prices and have a complete inventory listed on the site. Also try Ebay.....ya never know what you may find there! Hope this helps ya some!!
  8. There is a guy that owns a business and he does it. It is a pretty extensive switchout judging by what he says. You send hime your unit and he switches out the lighting and ships it back to you. If I remember correctly it is around $150.00 He also has auctions on Ebay offering the same service. Check out the modifications forum.......hope this helps ya some!
  9. I redid my exhaust system with taking everything off past the 1st 2 cats. I replaced the piping with true dual 2-1/4" piping all the way back which deleted the coupler cat, and the 2 resonators. The mufflers I used were the polished stainless Magnaflow XL SS mufflers which are offset just like the OEM ones. I also put on Airmass non resonating 4 inch tips. Here are the pics and some sound clips.
  10. All you guys are great. So is it better to keep it set to ECT or power for gas? How much of difference in saving gas is it from over drive too just normal drive? Will I notice it? Right now I have it set to Power, and never use over drive. If anything some times i put in L or 2 to take off from the line or stop light. LoL I wont be doing that any more. Love the car way to much. Difference in gas mileage is negligable...........Im not sure if will notice a huge difference........maybe 10-15 miles less per tank keeping it on power.........but even that could be highly debated!!! Just enjoy!!!
  11. Yes, I will keep ya informed and provide pics once installed. It may be a couple of weeks though as I decide what I want to get!
  12. Not sure about the phone. Just order another key from the dealership. Once it comes in they program it and the new key fob to work with your existing one All the buttons around the gear shifter are the ECT/Power which means Electronically Controlled Transmission in power mode it holds the gears out longer before shifting. There are 2 more top/left of the gear shifter, those are the buttons for the heated seats. The other button top/right of the gear shifter is Traction Control on/off Overdrive is 4th gear or the last gear. It has less than 1:1 ratio........that is for gas mileage benefits. Just keep that button pressed in at all times. Unless you want to ride around town in 3rd gear all the time!! Hope this helps ya out some! Welcome Aboard!!
  13. Unfortunately that is a very tough question to answer as all types of wheels will require different offsets.....ie, if you want the wheels to have no lip, some lip, extreme lip etc, each offset will be different......concurrently depending on what size wheel you go with your tire sizes may vary also. In a nutshell, there are too many variables to answer this question without a more definitive type of wheel you want to go with, along with diameter and width...... Yeah... I guess youre right!!! I totally see your point. Figure a "newbie" to ask something like that. :chairshot: Thanks for taking the time to point that out Kramer Hey man, no problem. I am in the market for wheels right now too.....I just cant decide which route I want to go as far as color.....I am going to do a stagger setup, wider in back but just cant decide if I want silver wheels, gold, or black all with polished lips.............tough decision!!!
