Just read the article regarding bulbs, going to pull out the one I just got and have a better look at it.... Not all HID Bulbs are created equal.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Comparison Of D4S Ballast And D4S Bulbs In 9006HID Kit

So I recently got a 9006 8000k HID Kit off of E - bay and I'm planning on installing it in place of the stock HIDs. However , I just realized that the stock HIDs have a D4S ballast and connector which do not fit the 9006 HID kit that I just got.

So should I remove the old D4S ballast and put in the new kit, or buy D4S bulbs that fit the stock ballast ? Also, the driver side headlight is flickering and goes out at times so I don't know if the stock ballast is acting up.

Camry :: Change Air Filter On 2007 3.5 V6?

It appears that after you unsnap the three clips you have to loosen the clamp between the air cleaner box and the intake manifold and separate the air box top from the rubber tube before you can access the air filter. However there appears to be hinges on the back of the air filter box that gave the impression that after you unsnap the three clips you can open the lid.

I have not found any step by step instructions to tell me the correct steps to perform to access the air filter

Camry :: XLE 2007 Speeds Up During Gear Change

Original owner of a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE with 96,000 miles. Here's my problem.

Right about a month after I bought the car, I noticed that the car would jump/speed up suddenly when the car changed from 2nd to 3rd gear. Here are some additional symptoms of the problem.

-This only appears to happen when the car is shifting these gears for the first time of the trip. All other times of the same trip, the gears change finely.

-During the first few years of owning the car, this problem only happened when the outside temperature was cold. It wouldn't happen in the summer time.

-Over the years, the problem appears to be independent of temperature

-This problem hasn't caused me to make any repairs to the car and the car runs without problems.

-I'd like to understand what the problem may be so that it doesn't get worse. It seems like it's getting worse and more noticeable.

Camry :: 2007 XLE - Idling Too Low After Plug Change / AC Is Not Working At A Stop

I have a 4-cyl 2007 Camry XLE. I changed out the plugs, simple enough. but now the car seems to be idling too low, just a tick below 500 RPM. Its causing some minor vibrations as also the AC is not working at a stop, it just blow warm air. As soon as i push on the gas the RPM jerk up pretty sudden, the air pressure from the vents increases and its cooler. So it seems the AC issues is related to the RPM being too low so once i get the RPM's back up it should be good to go.

These are the stock Denzo SK20R11 plugs that were in the car : [URL] ....

And these are the equivalent NGK IFR6T11 plugs i put in [URL] .....

So, I thought maybe because the ECU got reset maybe some re-calibration, but I have driven a good 100 miles on it and no change so i doubt that's it.

Camry :: 2007 XLE Stalls And Check Engine Light On After Battery Change

I have a 07 Camry XLE. My previous battery started dying on me so I changed to an Optima Yellowtop battery. Next day the check engine light came on, and sometimes while idle the car starts stalling, it never turns off though just that the RPM goes really low and the acceleration is really slow and it feels like the car is having trouble accelerating. Today it happened again but I was over 60MPH and hitting the gas pedal and it seemed to stop accelerating a few times.

Camry :: 2007 Toyota Oil Change - Loud Squealing Noise When It First Accelerates

I recently did an oil change on my wife's 4 cylinder 2007 Toyota Camry which has about 126.5k miles so i was suggested at Autozone to use synthetic 10w30 instead of the conventional 5w20 they put at the shop when my wife gets an oil change. So i did a oil flush and did the oil change with the new synthetic 10w30 and now the Camry feels really heavy and has difficulty accelerating at first. It also makes a really loud squealing noise (like when your breaks are bad) when it first accelerates. Should I go back to conventional 5w20 even tho it has so many miles? Is there anything else wrong that i should get checked?

Golf/GTI VI :: Passenger Headlight Went Out - No Change After Switching Bulbs

So on the way home tonight my passenger side bulb went out. No big deal, I pull into the auto store and pick up a set of new bulbs. The problem is now that the light that went out is not working at all. I replaced it and reset the bulb to make sure it is tightly connected and nothing. Next I try the other working bulb in the passenger socket and still nothing. All other lights work. City bulb, high beam and turn signal works in the housing.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Failing HID Ballast?

I've got a 2010 GTI with xenons, fogs are vag'd to turn on at low speed and when the turn signal comes on. Now there's a loud noise shortly after driving. Go to turn at low speed and noise can be heard and message comes on to check low beam light. Headlight, fog and turn signal are all affected at the same time especially if I'm stopped at a light with turn signal on. Talked to a friend that's a tech at VW and he said its most likely the ballast and when I talked to him and his parts guys they had never replaced one.
