Answers:

06 F250, the speedometer doesn't work at times...?

If they arent true xenon headlights, and just cheap replacement bulbs, they burn out quick and are junk.

Roughly how much would it cost to repair a dent and probably replace my bumper?


Even the sylvania silverstars burn out, the website says life expectancy is a year or less. had 3 burn out in a car within 6 months.

with interviews, what are the 6 p's?


REAL xenon headlights, like in luxury cars, are reliable, but from working at a dealer, I have seen them cut in and out on older cars, and just plain die. Although its much more rare.

what does it mean when my steering wheel wont turn and my volts,antilock brakes and tempature light comes on?

YEAH THOSE ARE STUPID

cold air intake?

The low beam in one of my xenon bulbs burned out after a month or two.

Why are my breaks squealling?

You have to be careful not to get regular halogen bulbs that have just been colored blue; they're not really xenon but marketing figures the kids won't know the difference anyhow.

how do you clean the sludge from the oil compartment?


And avoid HID-like lamps; another marketing mirage for the unwitting.

if one of my back tires is slightly bent, how much would it cause to repair it ?


Sylvania makes high-performance halogen lighting (link #1 below). I suspect their XtraVision line has a little Xenon gas in the lamp but it doesn't say. They also offer real HID retrofit kits for some vehicles but it will be expensive. That is true of parts on any real HID system. For example, the replacement headlight on a BMW 540 can run $1,000 (link #2).

i smell gas when I turn on my heater in the car?


Real HID lighting systems use Xenon lamps and are usually more reliable than tungsten or halogen. If you burned one out that quickly I would suspect a manufacturing defect in the lamp, or improper handling (finger prints on the glass are a killer in halogen and xenon lamps), or a defective inverter/control in the HID system.
