  1. Does anyone know what is the part number of the 1994 Sun Visor Lamp? Is there a generic replacement lamp for this? Is there a LED equivalent replacement for this lamp? I shopped in many auto parts store and they all tell me that is is a fuse. I told them that it is a fuse type lamp and not a fuse but all the air heads insist that it is a fuse. So I give up. Please help. Jack
  2. Don't you think the engineers at Lexus had it figured out already? DRL is for increasing the viability of you car for other motorist and pedestrians even in the day time. Why do you think it is mandatory for motorcycles to have their headlights on all the time? So the motorcyclist will not become a part of your front grill any time soon. Keep one rule in life. If you must change something, make sure it you will gain something in return. Otherwise, why mess with it?
  3. First of all, even the cheapest battery last over two to three years unless you are constantly running your electrical items with engine off. The starter will start or it is dead no in betweens. Sometimes the starter solenoid may get stuck in which case a good whack with a tire iron should free it. It seems like not enough juice is going to your starter due to low temperature, bad connection or corrosion of the battery terminal clamps. I would clean the terminals and the battery clamps by brushing them with a solution of water and baking soda to dissolve the acid. The negative one is notorious for corrosion. Use a battery terminal brush to clean the terminals and the battery clamps to a shine. Lubricate the terminals and the battery clamps with Vaseline petroleum jelly or buy those red and green battery terminal pads and put them on to reduce corrosion. You have to do this every year or whenever you see those white corrosion on the battery terminal clamps. If you car is old the battery clamps might be all mangled up. Since the original battery terminal clamps are made out of stamp metal with little battery contact, you might want to change the battery terminal clamps to a solid aluminum or brass battery terminal clamps. You can find them at a good auto parts store or car stereo stores. Remember that the negative and positive battery terminal clamps are different diameter so don't be cute and buy a pair of the same. The positive battery terminal clamps is bigger in diameter. While you're at it you might as well change the positive and negative battery cables for a new and better electrical connection. Make sure you use wire gauge #4 or thicker (the smaller the gauge the thinker the wire).
  4. Check your lower control arm and other suspension bushings including your rear suspension links. I had both of my 1994 ES300 front lower control arms replaced and now it rides like a charm. Jack
  5. Google the item that you want and you should see used Lexus parts dealers, after market replacement parts dealers, ebay sellers, etc.. I got mine for same color used for about $100 to $125. Yes, I changed a few times already. My body mechanic charged me $60 to remove and replace the mirror. When you buy the mirror, check on the overall condition of the mirror. Get a digital picture if you can. Make sure the hinge part is not loose, otherwise it will vibrate while idling.
