  1. sure. but it's custom work. you either disassemble the fog light and tilt the bulb OR mount it with a slight angle.
  2. the accident doesn't look too bad if you can find the another same colored car at a junkyard, you just buy two doors and replace them. if you do that, you will make a few thousand dollars after everything's fixed up.
  3. well, i used to be a ricer myself. intake doesn't give out that much horse power. i remember when i got a exhaust from stealin and a intake from them for my civic. they claim 35 HP gain total. yeah right. what do they know. what feels faster doesn't mean 10HP gain. it's like when you change your oil or drive long highway miles, your car moves so much better. probably 2-3 HP gain thru efficiency. intakes are usually good for it's noise---some likes them some don't. the important matter is that the owner likes it.
  4. does anyone know how much oil do i need to pour down the compressor?
  5. Yesterday, i blew the a/c compressor o-ring or something of similar nature. i was charging freon, got a phone call. after talking on the phone for a few seconds, my a/c system was overcharged and freon sprayed itself out of the a/c compressor. this morning, i ordered a compressor from a junk yard for 50+ shipping. i've very mechanically inclined, but i've never changed a compressor before. any tips on this removal and installation?
  6. i hate high prices. in georgia, it's 1.49 a gallon last time i filled up. but i got the midgrade which was 1.59 yahoo news said it's going upto $2.00 in just a few months. when that happens, we are all DOOMED

  8. my last car had a iron block. the car had cooling problems during summer and long idle.
  9. i can't believe it. My lexus dealership will gave it to me for free. i think the price = labor to pull the radio out. b/c i brought mine to lexus dealership, cost me nothing. i was nice enough to get the code when i sold my stock unit.
  10. amp is located underneath the passenger front seat. you pull the seat alltheway forward and you can get it from there. i've just finished my whole sound system. mine works great. no problems at all. I really think it's the fuse, if not, check relay. but i doubt it's relay. b/c i've never had a car that had a bad relay. there are multiple fuse boxes, have you checked them all? one under the hood and the other one on the driverside panel. if not, i think your headunit could be fried.

  12. tweeter is behind that little triangular black plastic piece on the door. when i remove it, i see the tweeter held by a push in metal insert and a bolt. did you have to make any adjustments to the black plastic panel? or did you use the original bolt hole?

  18. lexus for valentine's day. You are a good man. Two thumbs up. lexus makes great cars.
  19. Looks awesome. I have the exact same thing you have. i bought mine off a honda ricer kid. it's used, but it costed me 200 bucks. this is one of the best mod for our cars.
  20. well, i like HIDs myself. they are only like 250 on ebay for generic ones. i paid 850 for phillips kit.
  21. i have 95 es300. when i did mine, i had to pull out the whole headlight assembly. b/c turn bulb is located on the bottom side of the headlight.
  22. camry V6 filters = es300 filters. i got mine on ebay for 5 bucks a piece shipped. they sell them 4 at a time. (genuine toyota filters) just oil and filter change. if you buy genuine filters, they come with rubber gaskets. trouble issues: needle in the dash board dies major service 100k service usually means:: accessory belts, timing belts, seals, water pump, thermostat, etc..etc.. spark plug : platinum i don't know who makes them. K&N filters are just noisy which defeats the whole purpose of having a quite car. tires: i have yoko es100s and i am very happy with them. coolant: manual tells you to use or not use ethylene or some weird chemical. If you get prestone or name brand coolant, it will say on the bottle "this doesn't contain ethylene"
  23. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/show....t/ST/f/7/t/5267 here ya go. i finally figured out my problem. License plate light is directly connected to the head lights. i found the problem after getting a ticket from a state trooper.
