  1. Yeah I switched them out a while ago for LED so I don't have the factory bulbs. Thanks for the info.
  2. Hey guys, I have a RX330 and I am wondering what is the bulb type for the dome light? I would like to replace it with a factory bulb. Since one has gone out I would like to replace all of them. Do you know the # of bulbs I need? As well as the type of bulb? Thanks,
  3. I like mine; wish it didn't have the stigma of being a ladies car and the stigma that happens when owning the cheapest car in the line up
  4. Unfortunately I disagree with you- it's called "ASIBED". I wish for his sake he was a troll, but after spending my life in automotive work I have seen it all. Every dealer prays for customers like this (though I know he didn't buy it at a dealer). Just not knowledgable about the automotive field. MOST people overpay for a car. If you don't believe it, take a car for a test drive and stop by your local Carmax store and see what they offer you for it (not knowing that you don't own it, you're only taking it for a test drive). On average, probably half what you are contemplating paying for it. Sophistication in auto purchasing is not a strong point for MOST people. What does it mean to "Troll"? Thanks Great irony! Two thumbs up! No really you guys what does it mean? Don't make fun of me mccldwll some people are new to this internet talking thing. :) b1261 = Solar Radiation Sensor Circuit Short To Ground ? ikes. What are driving space shuttles!! lol

  6. You cant lock them and even the traction ETC Snow just start the car in 2nd gear. I think you should have bought a GX or LX. Anyways what year do u have? The first gen 97- 2003 and 07- Present has the best AWD drive from what I hear. Mine and other 04-06 RX have the bad AWD bc Lexus got cheap or something like that. But what I am sure of is NO lock differential and ETC snow just start the car in 2nd gear. Thats it very basic
  7. I feel so bad for OP, I just can imagine how that feels, spending so much money on a car and find out you were tricked. I wish you the best of luck...
  8. the gear shift should still work; I don't know why its nots, but if you remove the plastic rectangle of the upper left you should be able to over ride the transmission.
  9. that looks hard, I want to put LEDs in their like on the new Lexus's. Is it just me or does anyone else miss the days when changing a light bulb meant using a philips head and some Wd to loosen the screws.
  10. I just installed LED dome light on my 04 and it makes a huge difference. It is not only brighter, but everything inside is also very clear. It took 10 minutes to do and it does not look tacky. Highly recommended; I ll post pics if anyone is interested
  11. thanks is it this one http://www.irontoad.com/Merchant2/merchant...;Store_Code=LSC
  12. I need a cabin filter and I would like to purchase the one that cleans the best. I looked online, but i only find deals on filters. I don't think an $11 will work. What brand catches the most impurities? My requirements is that it fits a 2004 Lexus RX330 and costs less than 100. Thanks
  13. It may be depending on how steep the hill is. Also the RX might be heaver then your previous car hence more gravity pulls on it. I have a freind with a steep driveway. And mine will roll backwards in DRIVE on that hill becasue it is so steep. I have 330 btw, but the gravity concpt is the same. I woudn't be worried.
  14. thanks I will give it try sometime this week. Thanks alot really
  15. Thanks for the quick reply. So I take the two 10mm wrenches and turn them together in the opposite direction to loosen them. Then turn the center nut. Should I turn it to the left or right? Do I want it to move the center washer so it ends up being higher or lower when compared to its original position. Last question do I need tape? ps. I was asking about the jack, because when I got under the craw I hand like no room; so I wasn't sure if this job needed it to be lifted. Thanks
  16. Can you post a picture and actual instructions on how to do it? I tried twisting the lug not, but the hole stock twists and pliers can't fit in that tiny space. How did you do it? Do I need a lift? I don't have one.
  17. Yours should be underwarranty repair. I have an 04 and they covered the rear lower bumper marker light under warranty. So I pretty sure yours should be covered too!!!
  18. tailgate beeping can be configured by the dealer via Lexus Personal Settings. Does anyone know if you can turn this feature on in a 2004 RX330?
  19. Most people use forums to ask questions or get advice. And these matter usually involve problems. I like my RX, but if you only read my posts on this and other forums then would think I don't like my RX. The fact is the opposite. Like all cars there are things which I wish are better, but there are things which are great and we just don't post about it. For example, I like how the steering wheel tilts away, or the Lexus door sills that light up. I never posted how I liked those, but I have posted why I can't adjust the intensity or why can't you have the wheel tilt away before you take out the key. .
  20. 2004 Lexus RX330: Turn Seat Belt Chime ON? The seatbelt chime rings when you start the car like on all cars, but I know some newer Lexus RX and other cars also chime while underway if the seatbelt is unfastened or never fastened in the first place. Is it possible and how to turn on this feature of a 04 Rx? I forget to buckle up often because I start on small local street and end up on the interstate. Thanks
  21. Do the Personalized Settings in this url apply http://www.lexus.com/pdf/service/RX350_LPS.pdf ? As on the Lexus website it says 2005 and up RX 330 I am getting a 2004 manufactured on 11/2003 in Canada. If not what settings do apply? Does anyone know where I can find a manual on for the 2004 RX 330 on the internet? Thanks
  22. What is the Top Speed of a Factory 98 Lexus ES300 with factory All Season Tires? ex If I was to hold the pedal down on a level surface. Is there a Limiter on Lexus cars like the European ones which have one 155mph? Also the o-60 times and RPM's would be a nice touch. Remember I am asking about a factory one not one with turbos, etc for my main question. I am sure someone asked this already, but every time I search the forum I am told I need to type in 4 letters. Thanks How fast have you gone in your ES? Please specify year and if yours is factory or has mods plz Thanks
  23. I could be that you have a low battery that was what happened on my 98 ES. But it is probably it is that to tire size changed and it may need to be recalibrate. On my other car when I changed to winter tires the VSC would not turn on. That my best guess. good luck
  24. the symptoms descriptions are perfect. Since I had a lexus dealer put those in less than a year and about 5000 miles ago. Do you think they will replace it for free? or help tighten it? What should I say? Thanks
  25. also this can happen in park. the bird chirp sound only last for less than 30 seconds and does not always happen. How do I check accessory belt and how do I stop it from slipping? checking my records Back 5000 miles ago and on 6/23/06 I had according to my Lexus dealer receipt "Replaced All Drive Belts" and Belt, Vane Pump as well as Belt, v Alternator this was all don at 77647 miles. The car now has 82500. Is it time to get the belts replaced again? Do any one know how to stop this from happening as it is somewhat embarrassing? Also should I put anything on it? Thanks
