Replying to: oac (Dec 29, 2007 11:50 am) How do the HIDs work? What was involved in their installation and what difference does it make in visibility? Is it street legal?

Replying to: spenbaba (Dec 29, 2007 1:36 pm) How do the HIDs work? What was involved in their installation and what difference does it make in visibility? Is it street legal? Thanks for the compliments... The HIDs are 6000K and are NOT street legal, but you'd be hard pressed to find a cop pulling you over for your lights... I had it installed by a local audio shop, but the kit required modifying the bulb housing to fit the HID kit. I have HIDs on my other 2 Lexus vehicles and you really cannot compare HIDs to halogens... Its apples and oranges.... My Lexus cars had 4300K lumens, which are 15% brighter than the 6000K on my TCH but still plenty better than the stock halogens. Visibility is at least 5X better than my stock halogens, IMO. |

Hello, I have a 2008 TCH. I heard there was a modification to allow the electric motor to remain on for a slightly longer period before the ICE kicks in. Does anyone know anything about this or had the mod installed? Thanks

I want to replace my stock wheels and tires on my 07' camry hybrid with an 18" package. Will I have any issues doing this? Will it effect the FE? What about Load Ratings? I've found the wheels, but I am still shopping for tires. (235/45/18)

Replying to: flipcreatie (Mar 06, 2008 7:13 am) Heavier wheels and tires will affect your mileage, and the bigger tires are likely to increase rolling ressistance, once again decreasing your mileage. Load ratings will depend upon what wheels and tires you buy, but as long as they are quality wheels and tires it shouldn't be an issue. Good luck. Post pics when you get them on your car! tom |

Replying to: flipcreatie (Mar 06, 2008 7:13 am) On my TCH, I was tempted to go minus one for snow tires but opted to stay with the stock sizes. |

I used Silblade replacement wipers on the 4 Runner I traded in on my 09 TCH. They were garenteed for 5 years. I had them on for 4 years and they still worked fine. |
