Blinking Leds In Instrument Panel Cowling

Recommended Posts

I have 2004 LS430 UL.

On either side of the cowling on the instrument panel are two small LEDs without labels of any sort and nothing in the manual. Today they started to blink when the car starts and there is a chiming noise.

Anybody know what these are for???

I discovered what the blinking LEDs are for. I appears to be a very stealthy installation of an after market LIDAR detector. I have had the car for 8 months without knowing about the detector and just accidentally activated the system by touching a hidden switch with my foot. The only visible parts are the two warning LEDs, which are not visible when inactive, and a power on light near the mirror adjustment pad. Very cool.
