Mine is a 2001 and I have 58K

Thanks... and yes, now that I reread the owners handbook, it does say to "not" to put chains on the front. I had someone email me directly yesterday with the same explanation you provided. So thanks for taking the time... I'd hate to screw-up my wife's lexus... Ger

Hi. I've never taken our 2001 LX470 into the snow, but this year we plan on doing that. I checked earlier postings and didn't see an answer that helped me.

I read in the back of the Owners Handbook that if i put tire chains on, they should go on the rear wheels. Never mentions anything about the fronts. I did read one of the postings suggesting that putting them on all four would be ideal, but if i only had one set, i'm sensing that Lexus is recommending them to go onto the back.

Would appreciate comments and also, anyone using cables instead of chains? Thoughts on that as well would be welcome. Thanks for the help.

I just ordered the H3ST fogs and i think i'll try some PIAA 9005 high beams... Keep you posted and thanks...

Hey ShadyJC. I just wanted to get back to you to let you know I finally got the bulbs in. My local Lexus dealer was going to charge me $85.00 for labor. I already paid him over $1100.00 for a 30K service and new rear brakes and rotors. I felt he got enough out of me.

You were right. I was able to lift the battery up and even slide it towards the radiator which gave me plenty of room. These H1ST SilverStars are very nice. Not quite Xenon, but definitely nicer than stock. I think I'll also give these bulbs a shot in my fog lamps. Thanks, again.

thanks for the help. Glad i can just slide the battery back and have enough room to work. i actually do need to adjust the headlights because they both are aimed too high right now. can you confirm how to adjust both? thanks.

Hi. I'm new here and just picked up a 2001 LX470 a few months back for my wife with only 20K on it. I purchased the Sylvanias (H1ST) and want to install them over the weekend. I just looked under the hood and had a few questions: on the driver's side, do I need to remove the battery first? and as far as adjusting the height, i see on the passenger side, there's a long screw that I think is for adjusting that has a phillips head. is that what it's for? and where do I find the adjustment for the driver's side? I called the dealer and they said to bring it in and I couldn't find the answers in the manual. I'd love to do this myself. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
