Took a close look at the new part and it doesn't seem that the part / back panel can be disassembled / detached from the mirror glass. Argh. 😞

Reason why a new mirror is needed is not because the glass is broken, but because the clips at the rear backing are broken, as circled. Instead of ordering the Lexus part; can someone please assist with how I can disassemble the mirror, removing the glass from the backing, so I can use the old mirror with the new backing? Argh; I hope this may be possible! $200 extra for the Lexus part is awfully painful. T hank you!

Hello everyone, Hope all is well. I have a 2004 LX 470; need the passenger side mirror glass. Can someone please help me with what the correct Part Number is? Is the Part #: 87931-60850? So to purchase OEM parts at better pricing, I’ve been using the VIN of a 2007 Land Cruiser; By doing so, I came up with Part #: 87931-60801, which I ordered. Upon part arrival, however, I see that the connection / plug is different, as shown by the photos attached. Can you please help me figure out the equivalent Toyota Part # to my mirror? Hope I don’t need the Lexus part, as the price difference is shocking. And any idea what might be the difference in features between the two Part #’s above? Any recommended online parts stores would be welcome as well. Thank you very much. My best.

Hello again everyone, Hope all is well. So I replaced the passenger side-view mirror motor, but the problem remains! The top row, most forward (to the front of the truck) red fuse “10” blows. After I replace the motor, I kept the switch in the center / neutral position and did not try to have the mirrors auto-dip while in reverse, but when I went to electrically adjust the front driver’s side-view mirror, the fuse blew and the slew of dashboard warning lights lit. I thought the problem was emanating from the front passenger mirror, as its auto-dip functionality was not working smoothly in recent time, as it’d skip / hop, shutter on its way down. Nevertheless, I guess this has been narrowed down to the mirror(s) being the problem. What am I to do at this time? Can someone please assist and tell me if this means I should replace the driver’s side-view mirror motor now, or can is be something else altogether? I’d rather not buy the driver’s side-view mirror, only for the problem to remain. Argh. :( Please advise at your earliest. Thank you very much. My best.

Just wanted to check in on this. Should anyone be able to assist please do advise. Thank you so very much. My best.

Thank you for the heads up on the TSB. I've seen it, but it's not what I was having difficulty with. Thank you though!

I replaced the fuse again and made sure the mirror switch was in the center / neutral position. The instrument cluster lights cleared and the door locks work again now. Since these items work after stopping the mirrors from dipping automatically, I think I’ve narrowed it down to the mirror dip as the cause of the fuse blowing. Can someone please assist from here; what should I do next? If the mirror motor is the problem, how can I replace same myself? Any good instructions / videos to do so? Thank you again.

What a pain it was to access the passenger side foot well fuse box! Was also difficult to pull the fuse as well. Argh. Nevertheless, the fuse was blown. I replaced the blown fuse, truck started up properly, but shortly after starting… Lights on cluster resurface, mirrors stopped while dipping, auto door locks stopped working. Can someone please advise how I can figure out what the culprit is that’s blowing the fuse? How am I to trace this back to the source of the problem? Any / all help would be greatly appreciated. My best.

Hello everyone, Long time; hope all is well with you and yours. Kindly review the photo attached. When I started my truck today, the error lights lit. The instrument cluster gauges also shuttered / twitched a bit, then went steady; never saw this before! Furthermore, the passenger side view mirror wouldn’t dip down in reverse. AND… upon coming to a stop, shutting down and looking truck from the outside, all doors wouldn’t lock! I had to lock each door individually (note, however, that the power door lock button works if the truck is turned on!). Been raining a lot; hopefully not related to the problem? :( Can someone please help me figure this out. Thank you very much. My best.

I received the parts today and unfortunately, the hydraulic lines are black and hose like (actually 50% flexible, 50% rigid). When the indy threw my car upon the lift, what he pointed out to me was silver / metallic and larger in diameter, and seems completely rigid. Is there is difference between the air suspension hydraulic lines on a 2004 LX and a 2006/7 LC? Can someone please shed some light on this? Can really use some help here.

Can someone please confirm whether or not the 2006/2007 Land Cruiser AHC setup is the same as the 2004 LX setup? In other words, would the LC part numbers I provided above be a direct fit / replacement on my LX? I hope so, as I believe the lines are hard metal, which are not flexible. :| Shocks the same as well? Thank you again.

I found these part numbers: 48530-69145 49164-60041 49163-60041 Do the hydraulic lines that run front to back on either side of the truck come in sections? Anyone know if the numbers above are the whole line, or only a part of the line? Thank you.

Hi everyone, Hope all is well. 2004 LX470 with 200k here, which I want to keep. Active Height Control (AHC) system went yesterday. Rear axle on bump stops. Drove to indy, which stated the left and right hydraulic lines are rusted and I’d likely need both rear shocks as well, due to likely rust at the top mounting points (?). Quoted me $1,700, $1,250 for parts, $450 for labor. I’m told the parts would be OEM Lexus. How does this pricing sounds; high, low? Can someone please help provide me with the part numbers I'd need? I’d like to call dealers and search online for better pricing. ALSO, is there some Land Cruiser 100 Series model year that has AHC, or do all have conventional suspensions? As some of you may recall, my front steering rack was leaking, indy stated I must use Lexus parts, but I went ahead with an OEM Land Cruiser rack, which worked just fine. Please advise at your earliest as down a car. Thank you!

Thanks for your posts, Gentlemen. I posted same on another site and people are stating it's the third brake light. Pretty sure I've always closed my rear side windows. Anyone know how to remove the third brake light; apparently some seal goes bad? Thanks again!

Hope all is well everyone. Unfortunately, I recently noticed that the rear cargo area of my 2004 LX 470 is damp after it rains. No body damage, but missing the right rear roof rack cap. Ordered the part to replace same, but can this missing part be the cause (doesn't seem like it could be)? The darkened corners of the cargo area and the edge of where the tailgate meets the cargo area are damp. Seems worse on the right side. Rubber gaskets and seals around the rear tailgate seem perfectly fine. Is this a known problem? Please advise with any insight. Thank you very much!

My salesman called stating he can get me out of my car, a 2014 IS 350 AWD F Sport, as I have 6 months left on my lease. Not sure I want another Lexus; navigation is horrible; probably a C300 4Matic Sport next, but had to share the deal he told me of! 2012 LS 460 AWD NAV Nebula Gray on Black 14 Months Remain 15k Miles / Year 38k Current Miles $1,500 Down $594 / Month, Tax Included (346) 586-6009 lexusclients@gmail.com Think it’s necessary to know when the lease began, which is missing, but didn't get that info. Nevertheless, contact the salesman if interested and feel free to mention this post. Thanks and Happy Motoring! :)

Hi all, Sorry for the delay, but been active on the "clublexus" forum. I've since placed a deposit on a grey on red 2014 IS350 AWD F Sport and plan to take delivery in a week. I've obtained answers to many of my questions, to wit: Both the 250 and the 350 can take regular gas, but not recommended, and while regular gas costs less, it also results in fewer MPG's, so it's a wash. The 250 averages about 4 MPG's better than the 350, but all depends on driving style / habit; 350 drivers may be more prone to high revs; 250 drivers may be more prone to driving moderately. Removing the F Sport badging on the front fenders will leave holes! Very !Removed! about this. The MSRP option list print referred to is called a Vehicle Inquiry Report or, internally, a "V Spec Sheet", v for vehicle. It's all legit options / packages / MSRP pricing from corporate, that does not include dealer installed accessories or fluff; it's a window sticker printout from a central computer database. In any event, there was an error on some print outs I came across and the dealers were surprised and thankful of my reporting same to them. Who knows if they’ve fixed same, or even have the capability to do so, as I’m told the info is populated by corporate. Otherwise, yes, a dealer can contact the port to ensure the rear bumper applique is not installed. Takes A LOT of effort to get the dealer to make a simple phone call, at least it did in my case, but happy to report that I got my way. Good luck to all, and be sure to check out “clublexus”. Be well!

Hi all: Debating between a IS250 AWD F-Sport and a IS350 AWD F-Sport. Primary reason for the purchase is fuel efficiency, but after driving each, I feel the 250 is slow. Some q’s: Is it true the 250 can take regular gas, but the 350 must use premium? Real world, how much better is the 250 on fuel efficiency than the 350? Very upsetting the F-Sport does not come with memory or cooled seats! Is it true that removing the F-Sport badge would leave holes on the fender? Otherwise, I thought F-Sport’s come with 18” rims and All-Season tires on AWD models. If so, I’ve seen MSRP option list print outs showing AWD F-Sport’s with “19-inch Split 5-spoke Alloy Wheels w/ Dark Graphite Finish w/ Summer Tires”. What’s going on? I don’t even see 19-inch wheels in the brochure or online, and no, it’s not a dealer installed option (cars haven’t even landed yet). Last, is there a way to have the dealer contact the port to ensure the ugly port installed rear bumper applique is NOT installed? Thanks!

Is there anyone that can shed some light on the above? Thanks!

Hi again, I called my dealer's parts department today, gave them my VIN and described my problem. Unfortunately, they said there are several parts involved with what I am describing, including: the "Motor Assembly", "Servo Motor Assembly", "Control Motor Servo" and “Amplifier". While the dealer was vague, can anyone please shed more light on this, including what the differences between the various parts are and which part is most likely to apply. Thanks again!
