Default Some ES questions

Looking to get a 2013 ES,

1) Does Homelink (garage door opener) come standard.

2) Does ES come with Synthetic oil and what is the recommended change mileage wise

3) Is Bluetooth standard (for cell phone hands free) with the ES, if not what package do you need to buy.

Thanks

^^^^I guess you didn't look at the links I posted Bluetooth is in fact standard, enhanced Bluetooth is in the available Navigation package. What's the difference you ask? Go to the links I posted and look it up. It couldn't be easier

Actually, the 0W20 oil IS synthetic, so the answer to #2 is yes.

Default Some ES questions

Since we're answering questions.... Anyone know of a "bright white" bulb to replace the standard fog bulb? I have noticed they are way different from the pure white light when approaching ! (My car does have the HID's but all the front lights are the same "white" except the fogs!

You could replace them with something like Sylvania Silverstars, but they are still going to look yellow compared to the HIDs and LEDs.

I went with these.They don't throw out as much light as the stock bulbs but not bad.Stock bulbs don't do much on the road anyway.
These LEDS are a bit whiter than the HIDs but look much better than the ugly stock yellow bulbs.I assume the '13 is still a 9006 bulb.
Good timing if you like them as they're on sale.
