Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Rice color, but the JDM version has a parking light inside the low beam. And fog lights are independent, which we don't have.
I found out why the Gen5 fog lights can only be turned on with the headlights. That is because the customer said so! This is not a law or anything, just an preference issue.
here's his personal website... (i had it in my Links section on my site). he's added a lot of stuff to it since i checked last. nice... ToyotaNation.com is listed in his links section! ya betta recognize!!!! :p
It's cool that he did the Taiwanese rear inner taillight conversion, too bad the outer taillights don't match because Toyota make the change to them as well.
On the site it says that he got a one-off custom exhaust system and the intake installed, and it seemed like he gained 20 hp, but when he dyno'd it at Autobacs, the hp actually went down. "Maybe muffler is not good?" the guy says.
Getting intake and exhaust does not necessarily mean an increase in power. Have we all learned our lesson?

The law states that the fog's are supposed to go away (turned off) when the high beams are turned on. If you ever turn on your fog's and then your high beams...see that the fog's go away.....With that said..i did rewire my celica fogs and was never pulled over for them! Here's a pic

the Gen 5's i've read have a variable backpressure exhaust system, so this could be the problem?
