Thanks lzc. Were they able to shorten the time? Mine are set at 30 seconds, which is 15 seconds longer than we want. I investigated toyotoiguide and learned they can be set longer (60 or 90 seconds), but not shorter, unless the dealer can do something that the owner can't. Thanks.

So having read multiple postings on the issue of adding fog lights to the TCH, I am confused. There are concerns re: if it can be done, the amount of power used - would it be safe, and how to do it. All the posting are dated. Does anyone have a relatively easy way of adding the fog lights - either DIY or professionally? |

Replying to: lungdoc63 (May 31, 2007 10:00 am) A remote control kit, as above, looks the cheapest easy way to go. I'm going to do that, once I get some lights that will look right. (Waiting for some clones of the factory lights) As to load, not a problem. Consider that the system can handle an auxiliary load just fine, from one or both of the sockets inside the car. A more expensive solution would be to get a factory stalk assembly from a model that has fog lights, and factory fog lights. I'm too cheap to do that, you might not be. Would look a bit better. Of course, any warranty issues that arise may be a problem. Your choice how to proceed... |

Replying to: lungdoc63 (May 31, 2007 10:00 am) Since putting xenon headlights in I hardly ever use my brights. With all the cars I have owned, this is the first time that has happened. Check with a local dealer how installing the xenon voids your warranty. I was warned about this but never looked into the details. Still, the xenon lights have eliminated the need to put in fog lights. If I had put them in through an after-market dealer, they would have had to drill into the frame and put a lovely toggle inside the car. |

Replying to: plknj (Jun 06, 2007 11:31 am) I have a blizzard pearl anniv tch. I saw a white Saab with light blue zenon lights. Did they give you a color choice? I think the purple ones would spoil the look of the car. I love my tch more than when it was new. The mechanic at Conicelli told me the reason for the low speed brake squeak is that the pads are hard and should last about 50k. With my Volvo I was lucky to get 15 to 20 k

Replying to: wvgasguy (May 03, 2007 4:01 am) My Toyota mechanic says the charging system will handle the current flow as long as they dont splice any of the existing wiring. I would like to have a backup camera installed for my wife, if you know anything about people having them installed let me know I love my TCH so far and the mechanic says Toyota know about the brake squeak and they are trying to figure out a fix. He also said these brakes should last 50 k or more because of the regen system. Thanks for your reply and keep writing.
