    Same here. I only got the seat heaters to keep peace in the family. She is one of those women who is perpetually cold. I swear, she would wear a sweater on a tour of Death Valley.

    As @Casper66 saw last night, my headlights are 'weird'. The outer-orange lights are the ones that come on for the parking, or running, lights, and the inner-orange lights are the turn signals. I see a LOT of trucks have the inner-orange lights as their parking or running lights. Is this a mod or is it factory set?

    For her birthday or Valentine's Day, I bought her a long-sleeve shirt that has "I'M FREAKING COLD" on it. She loves it and knows it's true.

    My 08 is the same. I've never really looked at how the lights are on a 2012+, but I would guess Toyota changed it when they did the front-end facelift.

    Blinker where our side marker light is would have better visibility for oncoming traffic.

    Yep mine have the constant orange daytime running lights. Partially the reason why I swapped to the DTLR white LED mod.

    Same on my '08. Kinda like it honestly, since they had issues with the DRLs melting the inner lenses on the early ones with them.

    They fixed the melting issue on the '08s. They replaced the plastic diffuser in front of the blinker/DTRL with a glass diffuser.

    Ok, that's actually really sweet, and cool of you to offer. I live on blue mountain. I do commute, but most of the time I'm driving my civic. It's a red 2 door 03 lx. Better gas mileage lol

    You'll hopefully love that size. I have the same but in 17" and have really liked them. Which tires did you get?

    Thanks man. I do like them. I have noticed a higher loss in mpg ( not that its a that big of deal) but my truck was reading really off. Is there a way to reset the trucks computer to read mpg with these tires?

    Not that I have found so far. perhaps if you get an ultraguage it will. I don't even have that feature in mine I've just looked into resetting the speedo. In the other truck they only threw the speedo off by 3-4 mph I haven't checked this one yet

    Unfortunately, I don't. You don't run across a lot of 4 bangers.

    With the Ultragauge that @Casper66 mentioned, you can calibrate it to show true speed and mileage, but it won't alter the factory ODO/Speedo. Hypertech makes an ODO/Speedo calibrator that plugs into the gauge cluster (http://www.hypertech-inc.com/vehicle-results.aspx?AAIAID=469405). It intercepts and alters the signals to provide true readings.

    AutoAnything sells the Hypertech modules, so if you're interested in that hit up @eccracer104. He works for AutoAnything had can hook you up with good prices. @memario1214 is another forum vendor that can get great deals on various parts.
