Here's a link to the guy with 460 WHP. http://my.is/forums/f109/gauging-interest-...01/#post4966611

If I lived in a state that required a front plate, then I'd attach it in the conventional manner by drilling. But since I don't I don't.

alright boss ill get to it lol thanks for the quick help btw.... other forums berly pay attention to anything <_< Ahem! I was answering your questions both here and on my.is in a prompt manner. You were asking different questions on the two forums. I was starting to feel like a ping pong ball. The last post in your thread there was on 7/29 and that was my reply to your adujustment question. So don't go bad mouthing.

Yeah, got info on that car? What does he have? Any pics? He posts in the South regional forum on my.is and lives in Huntsville. I'm going out of town but I'll try to look up the info when I get back Thursday.

It doesn't do much if anything. I haven't notice it making any difference nore has anyone else I've talked with.

Easier yet, look inside the headlights from the front and side and see if the bulbs appear to be seated.

Yeah, that or put a IS350 emblem on the trunk and a whole bunch of speed parts stickers on the car.

I thought that was already covered in one or more posts. The thing is you just don't want to drive 20 miles on cruise control. Every few miles speed up a little and slow down a little. That sounds vague, but the main thing is not to go long ways at constant speed. When you get to 622 miles then you can drive however you want. LOL

Depends on what you're smokin. There's a guy down the road that's putting 460 HP to the ground with a IS300. There are faster ones, but his is not real radical and just about right.

You might, but it would be less reliable and cost more than the price difference between a 250 and 350. Besides that, you'd be breaking the warranty on a leased car.

If you can get the price down on the lower mileage car it might be a good deal. My 02 wholesaled for $17,500 with 30,000 miles on it and that was almost two years ago. I'd try to get at least $1000 off that price. Also I'd take it to a Lexus dealer and pay the $100 for their complete checkup, that's well worth the peace of mind, or a turndown if they find a serious problem.

As nearly as I can tell they may be aimed too high. At that distance you should be able to see the cutoff lines at the top of the beam on the wall. IMHO.

It's in the book: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...ost&id=3754

Yeah i herd of that too that the more K's u go the less light it produces, but my friend got the same the lights but its on a nissan altima and his lights light up the whole road even a car ahead of him gets their side of the road brighten by his lights and they are the exact ones i got why is that? Okay, I just checked into it and the Altima does take the same D2R bulbs as the IS 300. So, if indeed you have D2R bulbs, then my question is how are you doing the headlight adjustment? When I had mine all apart I saw it's not just a turn of the wrench. You have to go in and adjust the settings for motors center point. Like I said, my headlights are way brite enouph. Can you post an "evening time" pic with the lights on so I can see? Sure ill post a pic on how the lights are on the streets when the sun sets, and about how am i adjusting it is i am trying to move the lights down a bit manually by moving the little turning notches. It would be helpful if you can take a pic of the light shining on a wall.

I think you know what I mean. :D

Did you find out if you have the correct bulbs? The D2R will have a metallic stripe the full length of the bulb.

I think it's just there to show how the lines are routed so as to avoid placing one or more wrongly and having them get melted or whatever by engine heat.

Follow the instuctions in your owners manual as you can't go wrong with that. There is really no need for debate. Avoid sudden starts and stops because the tires and brakes need to be seated in. If you're only going 100 miles, just don't drive at the same speed for the whole distance. Traffic will help you take care of that. I drove 700 miles when I had just 200 miles on my car. I would drive 10 miles or so at 65, then 10 at 70, then 60, etc. It's really only important to just vary the speed somewhat instead of running at any constant speed. You should do this for the first 600-700 miles. All of the above posts are opinions based on science, mechanics, and some voodoo. Just do what the manufacturer recommends, which is what I have posted above.

lets say the lights r being scattered cuz i think that might be the prob how could i fix it? n like how come the stock ones are not scattered? If you don't see a clean flat cutoff line at the top where the beam shines on the wall, then you have the wrong bulbs. You need to change them for D2R.

So just substitute button pushes for key turns.

Ya i created that same post regarding the same topic. How come lexus doesnt turn it on when people by their car? Yeah, it should probably be part of pre-delivery service.

Are the bulbs D2R or D2S? If they are the latter they were made for projectors and will just scatter the light in a IS300 headlight. If you have the correct bulbs, then make sure they are seated proplery on the holders as this is critical to the focus of the light.

Just over 9000.

Maybe it would look better if you just used zip ties for the bracket and used expanding type fastensers to hold the plate to it. Or maybe plastic bolts.

I figure they have a shared co-op advertising plan, but they spread the cost over all the vechicle they sell. How they come up with that cost for a particular car I don't know. I do know that that fee does not show up on all dealers' customer invoices. Maybe others hide the fee somewhere else. I think it ought to be negotiable, at least part of it. The dealers are independent operations and they should know what their actual costs are.
