- what is the bulb size for the side mirrors and how do i remove the lens?
- when you vinyl your roof do you need to take off the side plastic moldings (i don't know what they're called) and if you do how do you take them off? is there a DIY?
- for the MT are the crush washers the same on the fill/drain plug as the engine drain plug?
- what is the correct torque for the lug nuts?

-LED's inside mirrors, no bulbs. You must remove the outside glass then remove 1x 10 Torx bit screw to get remove the signal.

-With Vinyl overlays you don't need to remove the roof strips.

-MT and AT crush drain plug gaskets are not the same as the oil, they are bigger.

-80 LBS TQ spec for lugs.

 

i would just replace the whole sidemarker, instead of opening it up

 

Doing the overlay without removing the strips is a pain ... its easy to remove them. I never took mine totally off I left them attatched at the "A" pillar and tied them up over that car with a string to the garage roof .

Here is the link .. scroll to the bottom.

To remove them take a block of wood and tap on the back of the weld strip. It will slide 1/2" forward. The just lift it and roll it to the outside of the car and it will pop off the retaining clips.

 

Sorry for the newb questions... Does the type s mufflers just bolt right on to a base TL?
Where is a good place I can get a good deal on new 04 TL headlights?

 

to answer your first question, yes it does but you will need a type S rear bumper (or you can cut your base bumper)
