Hey guys new to this forum glad to have joined...i have a 06 tl and my back left caliper is rubbing just enough to wear through brake pads..ive gone through 2 sets of pads in 3 months and I need this problem fixed..ive.heard that at certain mileage either back of the back calipers will stick but ive only got 93000...any advice would be greatly appreciated..im guessing a new caliper will be needed

You'll need to replace the caliper. I've replaced both of mine two times in 80k miles.

Is this common for the 3g TL? This is the first time I heard.

Yea thats what I was thinking..ive had some different opinions and some people say brake line some people say caliper...all I know is I cant keep spending money on brae pads like this..is it possible that ive damaged my rotors?

Unless the caliper completely wore through the pad and made contact with the rotor, no. Buy a brand new caliper and you'll be fine.

yes ... all that heat could've warped the rotor

This off topic from the caliper but my passenger side headlight is turning pink and purple then shuting off....im guessing the h.i.d. Bulb is bad but ive been told its the.ballaster...is the bulb as complicated as everybody says it is to replace

The bulb needs to be replaced. The process to replace it isn't complicated, it's just a pain. There's no easy way to access it.

I hate cars

Pink eye is normal for a failing bulb.

Caliper sticking is becoming common in these cars. I'm guessing it's more prevalent in areas with rain and snow and bad weather. Mine have been fine for 117k but the car hardly ever sees rain.

Changed caliper drives like a dream again..next in to the headlight?... Anyone know where to get an hid bulb for cheaper than 100 bucks? I havent looked very hard but is 100 a good price?
