    Question: I ordered this one: I got Sylvania dome ones which worked PERFECT for the gage/instrument cluster (total night and day) but I couldn't find a Sylvania 74 LED. I'm not sure if this is what you meant by an even one (there was a single light version but that seems likenit might be too spotty). Also I opted for the "natural" option. Do you think that would match the Sylvania 194s or I should have gone the cooler/brighter version? www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-and-subminiature-bulbs/74-led-bulb-3-smd-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/228/13213/

    Sorry to be that person, but... Where'd you get the hood deflector? That looks really good! Also, did you by chance order any of your headlight/turnsignal housings on Amazon? I'm trying to decide which one to buy. Lastly, the fog lights? Thanks 😂👍

    Hi! Thank you for all the questions and your comment. The hood deflector came with the car when I bought it and it may even be factory. Not sure. I tried to take it off once and it didn't wanna peel up so I stopped before I ruined it. I got my headlights and corner lights off of ebay but amazon sells them too, same for the turn signals. The only thing is that I retrofitted custom projectors on the headlight low beams. The assemblies that are sold on Amazon and ebay do not include projectors. As for the fog lights, I got those from Amazon. They're just simple LED mini light bars or pod lights, whatever you wanna call them. They're not the best but they look good. I would like to upgrade to a full light bar. But other than that all my bulbs are LEDs except for the turn signal bulbs.

    Well it sounds to me like it's stuck on floor. So you have to find out how the switching is done. Is it mechanically changed with a wire that hoes from the knob to the little door that moves? Is it electronically actuated? Or vacuum operated? Then depending on which one it is you dig deeper and see where the connection isn't made. Maybe your wire is broken, maybe your electric motor is broken, or maybe you don't have vacuum going to it. Good luck!!

Can this be a fuse on fuse box driver seat? i have a toyota corolla from 1994. (i already check the back fuse from the radio and its ok)

    That's very strange... I honestly don't know what it could be. But what I would do is test for power at the 12v accessory wire, constant 12v wire, and test for ground at the black wire from the connector on the head unit. Do this when it's acting up. If you have all good power and ground, it's a heady it issue. If you don't have power, chase it down the line until you find the issue.

    I believe the computer is underneath the armrest. I don't plan on making a video on that anytime soon but just remove the armrest and that whole plastic panel and it should be there.

    You'll need another one to properly disperse the light through the whole HVAC panel. Otherwise it'll look weird. Your best bet is a junkyard or maybe you can find the part number online and buy it from a third party website
