  4. I had mine done by Jim Walker in California and it was NOT a good job. my temp gauge still has no backlights and a dead needle, and various other lights do not work, of course, he said it was all my fault for not telling him the lights didnt work... my question was "why didnt you test it out". BUT, yes the gas gauge is part of that. I have heard of someone in the north east who does a very good job, Here's the link, http://stores.ebay.com/BBA-Remanufacturing-Inc type in lexus, and you are on your way.

  14. Just for the records, I had already replaced the struts and mounts, and as a retired mechanic, I knew to replace the mounts with the struts. I did not know how sensitive the Lexus' was until I got on this club. Since I retired in 96, we didnt get many Lexus products in the shop, so I have used your knowledge to keep my self up, so thanks.. bp

They come complete with bushings and 2 pressed-in bolts. they run about 95 each. http://photoshow.comcast.net/watch/Fj9WH6CM this will show you how. and that lowspeed clunk will be gone. cheers..
  19. 1994 & 1997 headlight adjustment.. which way to turn the screws. up - down never mind... the 94 was easy, just 2 phillips and my garage door... 97 a little harder, small rachet + 8mm socket + moving some stuff out of the way & my GD again.... Cant figure out why no one offered any assistance or guidance.... oh well.....
  20. Hay Jason, I have worked on cars for 40 years, and have never run into anything like that.... that may be why it is so quite on our post's.... just wanted you to know we are reading them, just dont have an answer... bdp
  21. Hi Guys, my 96 worked fine, but had no backlight, days were fine, but no night illumination. I took it out and carried it to OMICRON ELECTRONICS here in Carrollton and they fixed it for me while I waited. They said it was a faulty solder connection, they resoldered it NO CHARGE. wow I was blown away. hope this helps someone..... (the 96 was sold, I wanted two alike- Pearl instead of white, but photo is below)
  22. Thanks for the nice photos, they worked perfect. A bolt was missing out of the lower glass run channel. put one in and shazam it is quite again..... every one should download that link, I did and then printed it for my files.
  23. thanks for the help... withthe wildow down, the glass will rattle., need to see what it is..
