That's good to know. Ours is in pretty good shape with a couple bruises that we know of.

I think we're buying a new sr5 premium '22 when it arrives in April. We have a 2010 sr5 premium with 163k and it still looks great. The trade in offers were from $14,500-$15,000 which was somewhat surprising as I was expecting somewhere around 13k. The dealership that offered 15k, first offered...

It would be nice to have a new body style after using it for 11 model years. wow, 12.

Sold locally.

This was one of my worst ads. It's $250 for the set of four. On my local CL ad i had forgotten to say they were 17" I have really gotten lazy.

These came off of a 2010 4runner and will fit many years. The shop who took the tires off scraped the one wheel so it had some curbage. They had it repaired and it looks great. Only one wheel looks brand new. The other three are still in great shape. No tpms are included. There are no bends or...

This was exactly what i did. Thanks for the tip.

It's fixed. I took out the tail light and bent out the tabs where the bulb made contact. I took some sandpaper and scuffed up the surface too. I figured a tail light can't go bad electrically, esp after seeing the wiring. I knew there was no possible way, it was too simple. Thanks all for the help.

Thanks guys. I haven't had much time to monkey with it this week. I'll have to clean things out and do what you have suggested. It was the white bulb that wasn't working. I have replaced a lot of different stuff on our 2001 4runner in the past so i do all of my own work. I couldn't tell you...

This could be what they were referring to. My wife had taken it in so they could look at it again. Since it's a 2010, it probably has the original taillight. This is the first time i have seen a bulb with this connection. I was a bit surprised to see a bulb in there without being attached to a...

It was in for the state inspection and it needed the bulb to pass. I thought it was strange too. I'll have to check it out when i have time. I'm thinking that i need to clean the contacts on there.

I had replaced a bulb a few weeks ago and then the dealer replaced it last week when it was inspected. That bulb went out again and they said that the assembly needs to be replaced. I wonder if cleaning the metal connections will do the trick or do these things go bad? If so, i need to buy a...

NEVER buy the autozone or advance auto rotors. I had used them for several years on multiple vehicles with generally easy driving. They develop a shimmy and are not worth the cheap price you pay or the time required. Go by the other suggestions.

I skip the warranties on our Japanese cars. If you pay $1000-1500 for a warranty, the repairs seem to be much lower.

I replaced mine this weekend. I was having issues using the relay and getting them to work. After seeing a video on a prius forum while searching "fiamm install", all they did was hook up the single wire that went to their old horn to the new one. of course you had to make a pigtail to connect...
