$100. See #80.
I know that service, and probably worked on that car.
The engine comes out partially to do it properly. When the plugs are replaced Ferrari recommends changing the distributor. Then they want proof that you did it. And if you didn’t do it, they’ll mark that customer’s car ad an undesirable Ferrari and probably in the future not provide support for it.
These cars are all so stupid to own.
I did read it, no toyota needs to take the bumper off to change a bulb, the engineer that designed that would have jumped off a building in shame by now.
You need to read it again, it is about replacing the actual head lights for “upgrades” from the oem ones.
The car the article is about is a 2008 Toyota Corolla, the most popular car sold in the united states and in the world.
Here is the bulb replacement for the headlamps

Read and weep
Sorry that you bought a piece of garbage obama government mobile trash can, but going out to forums trying to justify your poor purchasing decisions by using a post that you do not fully understand is just embarrassing on your part.
Pleas stop posting fake news
I know the feeling. I went through a BMW phase. Now I have a couple of Hyundai Santa Fe’s and my 2001 Ram pickup. V6, rubber floors, roll up windows. It sits until I need to do truck stuff.
#36 A venture capitalist she got engaged to. She was engaged to another guy but broke it off. I bet a divorce before too long if they even make it to the altar.
“I wonder who is servicing Paris Hilton?”
I believe the proper wording is “who are” servicing...
I clicked on the link to the article as soon as I saw “Servicing Paris Hilton.” I must say that was a disappointment.
it’ll probably cost as much money to service her as it does her old mercedes...
Yeah, probably just the meds alone. :-)
It is true. Because you shouldn’t even be required to do so. And there are plenty of places that nickel and dime every repair they can find a way to.
This is some kind of retarded hold over from the 1930s when people came to town with homemade kerosene headlamps on their flatbed Model-T.
Texas vehicle inspections are an artifact of the Texas mentality that there isn’t ANYTHING that can’t use a little more regulation and organizing. They come at it from a different direction than California, but the end result is close to the same.
There is a board, a commission, a law with 63 subsections, and a lobby for anything you can imagine. Texas benefits from it’s Germanic heritage when you are speaking beer, sausages, chicken fried steak, etc. But not so much when they ape the Prussian bureaucracy.
They are stealing 35 bucks from you every year.
—”I must say that was a disappointment.”
You win some and lose some.
For this particular event, I think you came out ahead.
I am not opposed to the $25-35 safety inspection fee. What I am opposed to is the $75 registration renewal every year. That is theft. It serves no purpose other than to raise revenue.
My thoughts exactly.
Show me a Toyota where you need to remove the bumper to replace a bulb
Please do
I will wait
BTW your precious Obama Motors are made in Mexico, Canada, Korea and China.....
While Toyotas are made in USA, Canada or Japan (ones sold in US)
My Chevy malibu was made in Kansas City, MY wifes Camaro SS in Lansing MI and her 2500 GMC Sierra HD in Fort Wayne.
The Malibu was sold The Chrysler 2ooS that replaced it was made in Sterling Mi.
If you go to the dealer, they will rip you off. I am guessing a third party replacement battery can be found for a third to half the cost unless the car is extremely rare and has a specialized battery design.
