Light Sensor (auto)

[norman_1]

Hi Guys

I have a 1999 GS300 Sport and the automatic light sensor warning on the dashboard comes on after about 3 minuets of starting the car.

I know there are two one for the front and one for the rear and I know these can get corroded sometimes causing this problem,my question is where are these located so I can check them out.

I am from the UK but the forum over here is not as good as yours you lot has more knowledge regards problems with these cars so I hope you don't mind me asking.

are you talking about the sensor on the cluster that tells you, that u have a bulb out? then if so these are ONLY for the brake lights.....or lights on the taillights NOT the front lights but i might be wrong......im fairly certain! does it come on right after you tap your brakes or when does it come on?

The height control links are attached to the suspension. The front is attached to the shock absorber bracket, the rear is attached to the lower suspension arm.
