What does it sound like? I was thinking about putting the Borla onto my LX.

Glad to hear it gtom61, the fog replacement is pretty easy (nothing to move out of the way), just gotta get down there, should be no more than 10-min or so to get to both sides. The high beam/DRLs are also worth replacing, I got a generic 6000K bulb off eBay and it works well. I also replaced my corner parking lights (that was a PITA to get to) but have since gone back to stock.

dcfish, I'm interested as well, but this board won't let me send PM or email... can you give me details at "shadyjc@charter.net". Thanks.

gtom61, i've been able to get to all the bulbs on the driver side without actually removing and disconnecting the battery. If you unbolt the tie-down clamp you can lift and slide the battery back far enough to get your hand in there to get to the bulbs. Just unscrew the cap and pop out the bulb. Remember to pick up some gloves from Home Depot or a drug store so you don't touch the bulbs! I did not have to height adjust after I replaced with silverstars, since you are just doing a bulb replacement, your headlight is still pointing in the same place.

You mean like a SAT button to be integrated into the factory HU? You know, it's a good idea but I think the potential downfall is that some manufacturers will choose sides and you will be SOL if you want to go with the "other" provider... and that will unfortunately turn into a deciding factor when choosing your future car (see the announcement from Ford yesterday to go exclusively Sirius). One very nice thing about my Infiniti is that the Sat integration can go either XM or Sirius, you just have to buy a different kit. IMO, if car manufacturers really wanted the best for consumers they would (1) make Satellite integration carrier-agnostic, (2) provide MP3 capablity on CD changers and (3) provide an AUX input for everything else.

To get to the corner bulb in my LX I had to partially remove a protective cover in the wheelwell.

This is still an ongoing thread? I'm in Information Technology with a specific focus on Information Security. I work for one of the big-3 TV networks (the one that begins with "N"), that also owns 7 cable channels, 24 local TV stations across the country, runs a movie studio and operates theme parks in Los Angeles and Orlando.

slikvik, double-din size navigation options there is a Kenwood Excelon (sp?) and an Eclipse AVN series... Personally I am seriously looking at the Eclipse AVN2454 for my 2001 LX, but have to clear it with my "finance manager" first. :whistles:

Don't know if the 450 is different than my 470 but to get to the parking light I had to take off the protective cover in the wheel well.... all others (hi/lo/fog/turn) are accessible pretty easily.

lx470man, I looked and did not have the specific portion of the service manual that shows how to change out the dash bulbs. Sorry.

What year is your LX, I may have this section of the service manual on my computer at home, I'll check tonight. I think you have to take apart the dash though, the bulbs are behind the instrument guages.

Sorry to add onto an old post, I hear something in my 2001 LX as well - mine sounds like its coming from the CD changer.

Thanks for the tip! I'll take a look for the holes in the bumper and give them a call, description mentions the LC FZJ80, I think mine is a 100? ...still learning the proper terminology for this platform

I have a 2001 as well and would like to add an aftermarket hitch, just for the purpose of adding a bike rack for an occasional trip (won't be towing a boat or horse trailer or anything like that)... is this a DIY install? Any particular brand that anyone has had any positive or negative experiences with?

After having my LX for 4 years and never having had a single person sit in them I think I'm ready to take them out and gain back the trunk space!
