  1. Many 2010 RX 350s did not come with the trailer tow kit and I, as well as other owners, have had difficulty in finding the proper parts to route power to the existing trailer hitch connector (under the bumper). I finally found a solution and it entails purchasing part number PT219-48101-TC and installing it in the right rear quadrant of the vehicle. I have attached basic installation instructions with pictures for anyone that wishes to attempt to install the converter. Note the cost is a bit more at than the after market solutions available, but it does fit right in place and matches with existing connectors so no cutting of wires is required. The converter cost is around US$90 - US$115 . Good luck and be patient! Adding RX Tow Converter for trailer lights on FWD RX 350.pdf
  2. I'm sitting in the dealer's waiting room for my free 5K oil change and tire rotation. After seeing this thread I decided to ask about future service and was told the following: 10K, 20K, 25K, 35K, 40K, 50K and 55K are all $170 15K and 45K are $312 30K and 60K are $680 That's over $3,100 for standard service! Ouch!
  3. I have a 2010 RX350 FWD w/o tow package. I installed a Curt hitch that went in beautifully, only having to make a couple of minor trims to the existing fashing (which was already outlined for the OEM hitch). The installations instruction are linked here: Curt hitch instruction or 2010 RX350 However, when I attempted to get the trailer lighting working, I learned the connecter loated in the rear corner, driver side, had no power. I took the vehicle to Lexus and they stated the invertor wasn't installed and that they could do it for a mere $600 + tax. In other words, over $600 to make my vehicle street legal when pulling a trailer. Now remember I have owned the vehicle for less than 60 days and installed the Curt hitch myself. All I need is turn/brake signal power at an existing OEM connector!!! After reading nearly every posting in this forum I find myself confused as to what I need to install. Some postings state in order to get power to the OEM connector I must install PN 82670-0E040. Others state that the wiring convertor, PT219-48101-TC, from lexus.dealerfit.com, will solve my problems. ARE THESES PARTS ONE AND THE SAME? Also does anyone have a picture of this/these part(s) and installation instructions that could share? I'd like to know what I'm getting into prior to shelling out another $90 plus shipping. In my discussions with different folks, I did receive the installation istructions for the OEM hitch. I must admit however, it appears much more difficult than installing the Curt as one does not have to remove the rear bumber when installing the Curt. I have them in an adobe pdf file and could not figure out how to updoad. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
