Front left headlight out

[devinlamothe]

The break squeel has been happening to me for the past 30,000km. I have no idea what it's from and Toyota can't figure it out either. They attributed it to me living in a cold weather area (BS).

If you end up figuring it out let me know.

Oh and to change the bulb ... you basically have to just undo some clips for the bumper, unscrew the 3 screws for the headlight and remove the housing ... then just unclip the bulb and replace. I know it seems like a pain, but I've done it when both of my lights went out and replaced with some GE Nighthawks (what a difference from OEM).

I may or may not try to just replace them myself (im really not a DIY guy *at all*)

But either way, think I may go the route of buying some better headlight bulbs.

So obviously you'd recommend the GE Nighthawks.

Anyone else have bulbs they'd recommend instead of replacing with new OEM ones?

At the Nighhawks HID?

Nope, the Nighthawks aren't HID, they are just 'brighter' halogen bulbs. You can really notice the difference with your high beams. It's like night and day ... literally.

I think ill buy some Nighthawks or SilverStars. A friend recommended and loves his SilverStars (installs them on all his rides), but ive read online about ppl complaining about their short(er) lifespan, and apparently it seems most ppl agree the Nighthawks are a better, more illuminating headlight.
