BarryK1994 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 2003 LX 470 and realized there are 2 projector like lights to the inside of the fog lights. I can not find anything in the manual or descriptions online as options. I see them on many LX 470 driving around town. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryK1994 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 The manual states the night vision is projected from the rear view mirror area, which I confirmed with covering the lens with my hand. These projector like lights are illustrated in manual, but do not state what these are. I will try and post photo for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbullitt Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If you didn't find the answer to your question. They are the sensors for your night vision. I have a 2003 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strong1993 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The two projector style lamps on the inside of your fog lamps are near-infrared illuminators (lights). The near-infrared camera is on the front side of the rear view mirror. The camera projects onto your windshield directly in front of you. There are conditions where the illuminators are not on, these should be listed in your manual. You can see the projectors illumination by using a CCD style camera as CCD's are highly sensitive to infrared light. You can test your camera sensitivity by viewing the output of your TV remote control, you should be able to see the light flash when you push the buttons on your remote. By the way, do not stare into the lamps, they are fairly powerful and can be harmful even though you cannot see the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1994 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for your help. I must have skipped over the near infra red projectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
