    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Not arguing that, but it isn't the OEM's that are causing most of the problems, its the EPA.

    Fog Lights

    Not going to argue with you in the forum, but I've read that yellow fogs are a myth - going back to when kerosene lanterns put out less light (and glare) than electric lights and people thought they worked better in fog b/c the kerosene flame was more yellow. The important thing with fog is...

    Trailering Jet Ski

    If it weighs 1,000 lbs and the manual says it can tow 1,500 lbs I don't see what your question/issue is. OTOH - towing anything is going to be a bit harder wear on the car - it might make more sense to spend $1500-$3500 on a used truck to trailer the jet ski and save wear and tear on the...

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Yep - as I said - it is NOT just Toyota - Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Dodge, all of them have issues with paint quality and the paint chips much easier than it used to.

    Fog Lights

    We are actually closer to on the same page than I thought with this ... I agree - they should OFFER them in yellow or the very least they could do is put the tint on them for you for free. Personally, I would want white driving lights and if/when I get a Corolla, it will most likely be a LE...

    Fog Lights

    They could offer them in yellow. Then again - from what I can see, it is $120 for the Nokya 9618 (at least the Amazon link I went to), for LED bulbs in reflector housing as opposed to $150 for true LED projectors with the lenses. If you are okay with white, the price is about the same - or...

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Concur - you need to talk to the Zone rep. What the service lady says doesn't mean anything. What the body shop says doesn't mean much - but could be mentioned if it supports fixing the issue. What may mean something is "I bought this car and it looks terrible and if it isn't corrected, I...

    Fog Lights

    I didn't say they were "good" pictures of the lights properly aimed!!! :laughing: They look to me like they throw out a lot of light (brighter than the headlights from the front view), and look like they would work well if aimed downward. I would want them for driving lights and not...

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Get the zone rep involved. If necessary - threaten to park your car across the street and stop everybody going to the dealership and show them what your car looks like and that the dealer refuses to fix it, etc.

    Thinking About Buying A New Corolla But Have Question

    Agreed - you may indeed like the Civic better, but after you drive both cars you will KNOW whether or not you do.

    Stereo Upgrade

    There are a couple of things to check - I am familiar with Metra, but I think you are using a 3rd-party harness (unless that was just power and didn't include the antenna. I also don't know the 2014 Corolla harness wiring. Pioneer usually has among the best aftermarket FM reception - (oddly...

    Fog Lights

    http://www.montypython.net/scripts/buybed.php Like "mattress" there are some things that can't be said on here, but if you look on "another forum" there are now pictures of the Miromoto fog lights installed.

    Fog Lights

    In most states (at least GA and FL), the law is HEADLIGHTS on when it rains (even drizzle). Parking lights come on with the headlights, but that is legal even in California.

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    New car paint isn't what it used to be. Yours looks worse than most, but I've been on Ford/Dodge dealer lots looking at new cars that had orange peel bad enough that if it were 20 years ago and the car was used, I wouldn't buy it b/c it looked like it had been wrecked and re-painted (badly)...

    2014 Alits Parts Compatible With the Toyota Corolla?

    The administration has no problems with Americans working - they just want all of us working for the government. But I'd rather see the political discussion off the main forum.

    2014 Corolla Radio Reception is Horrible

    YOUR options are pretty good. First take it back to the dealer. If they say it is normal - walk to the new car section and get a salesman to show you some of the other Corolla's. If they all have similar reception to yours, maybe it is normal. If they all have better reception - perhaps the...

    Traction Control Off Button

    Not if I can help it (which I usually can in GA), and I've never had a car with TCS. (I did have a similar situation where I was on a hill in a stick-shift in snow/ice, and the truck in front of me stopped to change his front hubs to 4WD, so then I had to let it back down the hill to get going...

    Fog Lights

    The OP said that the local police aren't worried about HID headlights, so I don't see them worrying about fog lights. This came up on the Elantra forum - (actually, it wasn't fog lights though), in California, it is illegal to have the car in motion with the parking lights on unless the...

    Does the Stock Radio Have RCA Outlets?

    Same as an amp ... If it has speaker-level inputs, you just splice into the speaker wires. If it only has RCA's, you will need a LOC.

    Traction Control Off Button

    Are you sure? That seems like a bad design - I've never had a car with TCS, but from what I've read, there are places with snowy conditions where you might want to turn TCS off to maintain progress up a hill and turn it back on before the curve after the hill. 0 m.p.h. is usually NOT a good...
