    Don't forget to top off the blinker fluid.

    Operator error. You shouldn't be using your blinkers anyway. You don't see BMWs flashing their blinkers, and those are the ultimate driving machines.

    Oh I definitely don't use it. It's a sweet looking taco, most people just pull over in awe anyhow. Since they double as running lights, I felt I had to replace it.

    BMW don't use blinkers because the stalk is broken. That's good ole German plastic won't hurt a squirrel or nothing

    The ones I bought from Advance Auto were Sylvania. The OEM's I pulled out were Sylvania as well.

    Yes, but they are not authentic Toyota Sylvanias. You need to go to a Toyota dealership and buy the bulbs there. They are about $4 more than Advance Auto, so that's how you know they are true OEM.

    I recently bought spark plugs from the dealership, and surprisingly they cost less than advance auto
