There can be enough power to run the electronics, but not enough to spin the starter. Check the voltage on the battery.

Fahren bulbs are really solid. Much brighter than stock, cutoff is preserved for the low beams. High beams will blind everyone (but so would the stock units).

I'd like to add fogs. The car doesn't...

For the moment, I bought a set of Fahren 6500K LED bulbs. It's a cheap experiment; the entire 4-bulb set (H11/9005) was like $50. If they're garbage, they'll go back to Amazon and I'll buy the HID...

That's surprisingly inexpensive. I'll check it out, thanks. Anyone tried LEDs they like?

Headlight upgrades?

I have a 2010 S model with the standard halogen headlights. The low beams in particular seem very weak (or my eyesight just isn't what it used to be). What's a cost-effective, durable way to improve...

There isn't enough power to the rear lights, it needs a separate line. I was curious if anyone had attempted to route anything from the trunk to the fuse box. Perhaps for a subwoofer or the like.

I used to get that, then had an inexplicable MPG drop around 50K. The car does ~16 around town and about ~24 on the freeway steady-state at 65 MPH. This is with Costco 93. What gas do you use?

If you're still looking at this, check all the intakes and filters. Mine dropped by 30% because I had a clogged air intake. A bad fuel filter will do the same.

Yeah. Simple, not easy. I screwed this up once by pushing in the filter lip too far. It too the guys at my dealership 45 minutes to get it out.

You'd be better off installing a third-party wireless camera that beams to a display, whether your phone, a Garmin, or a new rear-view mirror.

The styling. The seats. The sense of isolation from the outside. The highway power. The lack of gear changes and abrupt engine noises.

It's a smooth, classy car with a lot of power. I like that.
