Help & Advice On Corona Premio

[Schiffer]

Guys i need help on this area

1) Where can i find a pair of Original Fog lamps either recondition or brand new for the Toyota Corona Premio? (even Colombo is okay)

2) can anyone suggest a good place to do Headlight cleaning in Kandy?

3) my retractable mirrors aren't working, but can hear the motor working inside, can i fix this or will i have to replace 2 new side mirrors? and if so where can i find side mirrors for this?

1) Its very difficult to find fog lamps for the corona premio. usually recon ones are sold with the buffer. if you find a place to get only the lights, you might have to pay almost the price of the buffer just for the two lights. In colombo, you'll have to try delkanda, nugegoda.

2) Sorry, cannot recommend

3) take it to a known electrician in your area and get it checked. sometimes, you might be able to fix it. failing which, only option is REPLACE.

Go to a place like s*n L*nk* for the fogs they may have a chinese look alike.

If you are coming to colombo try some place like Adv*nce c*r aud*o for the headlamp cleaning.

BTW it seems you bought a new car

1. my cousin runs a spare parts shop and i think i saw a Corona bumper there i'l check with him and let you know

2. Tried headlight cleaning on my U13 once, wasnt that successful, so brought down a pair from Japan and fixed them

3. Maybe its just stuck, just show it to the electrician you usually take your cars to

[zareekz]

whats your budget for the fog lights?

[CyRaX]

Machan I saw a Corona face with the fog lamps and all at a shop in delkada today, Since all the places are closed today I'll go check it tomorrow and let u know.
