InLoveWithLexus

Thank you Steviej and a.c. I will follow Steviej's advice to replace the bulb. I bought my 2002 ES300 Lexus with a little over 60,000 miles on it, therefore, no warranty. The car is in wonderful condition - previous owner put a lot of highway miles on this car in under 2 years, but followed all the maintenance tasks based on the mileage vs. the time period. I could not resist the car since it came with all the extra options (Nav, rear sunscreen, 6-disc cd changer...) and was a bargain price! I appreciate this site and your feedback. :D

I have a 2002 ES300 (just purchased) and realize my brakelight bulb in the rear window in out. I have searched this forum and have read a couple of answers on how to go about replacing it but am not sure if those ways applies to the newer ES300. One way states to pull the plastic light shield off and replace bulb, the other way mentions (I assume in the trunk) pulling the speaker out to get to the bulb. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the info steviej. We have tried a few of those things to begin with and ended up just sliding the card deeper into the bottom. I would need really long and thin hemostats with sticky 'goo' to go after it now. I will probably just order me another card and let it go. I don't want to scratch up my console. Thanks for helping!

:D Hello All, I am a first time Lexus owner. Just bought a 2002 ES300 and am already in love! I have enjoyed reading up on all the helpful information of this site. Now for my dilemma. This is going to sound weird but...while in a Walgreens pharmacy drive-thru, I placed my credit card on my lap. I noticed it sliding off to my right and then no more. I looked all around and could not locate it under any of the seats. I later found in wedge within the 2002 ES300's cup holder, which was open at that time, and have not been able to retrieve the card. I have used tweezers, sticky tape on the end of a long, thing probe, all to no avail. I thought I might be able to remove the console, but I have a CD changer installed and could not locate a simple (ha!) large screw that would allow me to lift the console up and out. Any suggestions? Please don't tell me this has not happened to anyone else or else I will feel really, really stupid. Thanks for your help. Emily
