You mean like this?

I have a beautiful front end on my 400h...bumper lip, thundercloud chrome grille and the Harrier emblem from Japan. Rey in L.A....you can find anything on line! They have some nice body kits for our car...I know, it's not for everyone, but I have always liked modifying my cars. I teach at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena where many...MANY of the cars in the world are designed by our graduates. Rey in L.A.

Tom, that is great advice. Rey

Got it! Great,now I see how to get the exploded view that makes me happy! Maybe because I am an artist...I like to see pictures! Yes, this is the best price for the "L" logo that I have seen...but I already got the one from lexuspartsnow.com...but now I know that there are many choices. Thanks everyone for the education. Rey

Wow, this was great...but I still like seeing the exploded view so that I can SEE that it is the exact part that I need. In the case of the roof covers these are more than twice the price but it's hard to say since they aren't clear as to what part they are selling...see what I mean? I want pictures and or diagrams....it's more fun for me to shop knowing that I have the right part. Great info, thanks...I think now everyone will have places to search! Warmly yours, Rey

Thanks, great additional info. Obviously you guys were better informed about these things...I felt like I discovered a new planet or something. The other good thing for me, and I know this is because of where I live, is that lexuspartsnow is in SoCal...so if I really wanted to, I could drive there...but today the price of premium was well over $4...so, I'll let them ship to me. Thanks again, Rey in sunny L.A.

I do understand...Sewell might me better but...well, let me just ask you...can you find the front grille emblem for a 2006 rx400h? I cannot on Sewell...it is frustrating and all I want to to find out how much it is and if it is cheaper than the $28 plus $8 shipping. I also could not find the roof plugs and on the other site it was all easy even though I didn't know what to call the roof gizmos...they had an exploded view of the roof area with all of the parts and numbers....I don't buy enough parts to lose too much money....but I hate wasting time when a site can't get you to where you want to go or to find a specific item...it was too frustrating. If I really wanted to save money I would have bought a used Hyundai to begin with. Thanks for the input though...this is why I like this forum. Rey in sunny L.A.

Well, I tried again by clicking on the sewell address above...it was a mess....they had the logo, I finally figured out how to bring it up...but it says $206....is that for the whole grille? It looks like it is just for the "L" logo since they have only a picture of the "L"...without the grille...That doesn't seem right...but regardless their site is really badly laid out. I just wanted the "L"...they had a package of all the logos but it was well over $300...I guess this works for some people but the site that I used was really easy and you could see a schematic of every area and every single part of the car. It reminded me of when I used to build model cars as a kid, the instructions always had a blow up of all of the parts in each area and clearly described. For me, I am glad that I found lexuspartsnow.com and I think maybe a few other people will see that it is easier to navigate and understand. So now we have more choices! I loved that I ordered my parts Monday and got them Friday in the same week.

I wasn't aware of SEWELL, sorry...but I have to admit, I just went on their site and I could not figure out how I can peruse and look for parts....do you have to know the part number? I like to just browse and I don't like talking to anyone on the phone when I am just window shopping. I had fun on lexuspartsnow just to see what things cost....not to necessarily buy stuff...the "L" logo at $28 was fine and with the two other parts...$8 shipping and handling? Well I just paid over $4.00 per gallon here in CA...so everything's getting expensive and the price of the items seemed fine to me...SEWELL? I couldn't figure out their site..it looks like they are a dealership? Anyway, sorry that I posted something that everyone already knew and had a better place for. But I think I'll try lexuspartsnow.com again...it was really easy for me...I like easy. Rey in sunny L.A.

Sorry, in the heading I wrote the wrong adderss and could not edit it...it is www.lexuspartsnow.com {note: I corrected it - RX400h) Hello everyone...I know almost all of us needs a part or two for our fab cars now and then. I have an 06 RX 400h and I have added,taken off stuff for the entire 5 years that I have had my "Princess". I recently found a great site where you can get any part...ANY part for our Lexus and much cheaper than anywhere else that I have seen. Literally you can get ANY part, any nut, bolt , hard to find part. www.lexuspartsnow.com. The site is easy to navigate. I have been looking for the roof slot covers that cover the spaces left when I took off my roof rack. Also I wanted to get the grille "L" logo. I ordered them and got them within a week. The "L" was $28.($24 for the Rx330/350) Not bad. Lexus quoted me $67 and I could not find it on eBay. As you might know I have the Harrier Hawk emblem on my grille right now and I wanted to get the "L" back so I could switch off from time to time. I had sold my original front grille "L" along with my old grille when I replaced it with the "Thundercloud" grille...anyway...www.lexuspartsnow.com. Rey

I have a 2006 400h...it's just a nifty-fifty car! Congrats.

Well, I did it, I reset the ISC thingy using your fabulous step by step post.....and this tank I got MORE than two full MPGs better. I will have to see if this keeps up but so far I went from around 24.5 to this last tankful, 26.9. I was wondering why in the past two years my MPGs went down. I hope this wasn't a fluke and it continues. 26.9 is fabulous for me! Warmly, Rey

I personally haven't but it has been...and a couple of months ago Lexus put in a new battery...old 12V died.

Thanks...I did all of this..now what? Will I see anything,any changes? Rey

OK so I am a little red in the face now.......that was exactly what it was...I had the dimmer all the way up past click...like "11" on the Spinal Tap amp...sorry for the silly post and thanks...all is fine again. Rey

I have a question...I seem to remember that at night the GPS used to be darker, different "Night time" graphic scheme....am I remembering correctly? The reason that I ask is that when my girlfriend and I were traveling way up in Northern California, along very dark roads she commented on how bright the screen was. I then remembered that it used to shift to a night time screen...right? I know that I can manually darken the screen but that's not what I am talking about...it used to change when the night time lights came on. My screen is always the white background and bright, too bright for night driving. Did something happen? Is there a way of switching it back? Am I remembering it wrong? Thanks, Rey in very warm LA...yes, it's February and warm.....

Thanks Dave! Just what I needed....I have another silly question and I will post the new topic now...about the GPS display...Rey

There are references to this but I am still not clear what the ISC setting is, where it is...how to reset it,etc.. Please, as if I were a 5 year old...what is it? No technobabble..just English please.

So...what is the ISC setting and can I do it myself...and how.....I asked Lexus but they didn't know what I was talking about...

That's really weird. It only happens when I put CDs that I have burned but the few times that I have gotten the error warning, I have been able to get it back to normal by turning the ignition off and starting the car back up again...hmmm. This sort of problem happen in this day and age...for Pete's sake.

This has happened to me. The way that fixes it for me t to simply turn the car off and then on again...

I am taking my car into my Lexus dealership tomorrow (1-6-2011)....they are great at anything that I have concerns about. It's not supposed to rain here in LA for a few days so hopefully they can find the problem. They always wash my car before I get it back, perhaps they should start with the wash! Thanks for all of the posts. Rey

Where are those drain tubes exactly? Thanks for all of the input. Rey

Regarding my 2006 RX400h...56K miles, I live in Los Angeles. Here in L.A. we've had a lot more rain than usual but I was shocked to see that water was getting into my cargo area. Wet on the small side rear window, and I ended up with soaked towels from water getting in through the privacy screen track and the door to the rear lights...the door that you would need to pop f changing light bulbs. It was enough to soak about five face towels. It's making me mad....I have been traveling so I haven't taken the car to Lexus yet but just wondering if anyone has had water leaking in their RX400h.
