most of the green ish colour comes from the lcd itself as light shines through it the bulbs are little and have a little blue rubber condom on top of them so they shine white much like al those crappy headlight bulbs it loses alot of brightness but creates a whiter light not sure what bulbs you could use though leds would look funny as the screen has diffusers for the light which would not get caught from an led which is directional so a regualr kind of bulb would be needed

i guess that photshopped car needed more trunk space lol i think that is trully the onyl flaw in design of the old sc it had such graceful lines but the stupid tank in the trunk left no room for it to be a true tourer i am definatly not a fan fo the new sc or es and ls they all have a very ugly look but it is noly an opinion like i love garlic but not anchovies lol later

what year gs do you have?

when the car was originally sold it should have come with 2 master keys opens all locks and has an alarm transmitter button 1 valet key small plastic head and one wallet key with credit card case to replace the key i think you need to get a new one from the dealer which comes with 2 keys precut and a new ecu chip to be installed for the new key code about 400 for the set you can buy more from the dealer of just the small plastic head and no transmitter cheap though it would be cheaper to do that and install an aftermarket alram as the stock one does not have a shock sensor

you are right the pioneer system is tuned to work with each speaker very well i first changed my speakers and found a drastic difference in volume level decrease as the stock ones are very efficient but not presice the stock amps are very low on power but are mated to work with the system as a whole i also replaced the amp and re ran all the speaker wires to my trunk for the new amp and got a drasctic improvement in sound then once i took out the stock head unit finally it got much better a more cleaner and presice sound reproduction all changes where done over 6 years with about a year in bettween each stage getting a more powerful amp would do nothing as the speakers would not be able to handle any more power since they are rated very low for a low power amp just to be effiecient the stock amp i am not sure on output but it isn't worth finding out as it isn't a variable that can be taking into account to add to any other system to use a new amp but stock deck there are cheap line level convertors which take speaker outputts and turn them into rca outputs but i find them to sound awful i spent a few hundred on some crystal line line level convertors which where much more cleaner sounding and made the speaker level out put as close to an rca output as possible with the use of more than just a variable resistor good luck

Front Turn Signal Lamp Replacement
SKperformance replied to golferwalt's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
problem may be a filiment is broken but still closes the gap every so often or atleast showing the right resistance causing the light to blink normally change both bulbs in question it is cheap to do after all as the first place to start -

What Type Of Wax Do You Use...
SKperformance replied to Rob_W's topic in Lexus Detailing and Car Care Forum
no as the gold is a one step and would end up removing the original layer just put on by step 2 using any dish washing soap will remove the wax pretty good when ready to place a new layer on -

very true steviej i reread the above post and it was " the high pressure water spray " and i assumed he meant power washer are you using a power washer or a car wash? lex? -
sorry it is kinda of a bad pic i didn't take that one or adjust it i think the camera automatially darkened it as it was so bright that is why the surrounding area is so dark mine are actualy white with no blue at all

Water Getting In Between Window And Door
SKperformance replied to lex's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330

what do you want a ricer sleeve kit i think some companies make tehm but they are just for the sake of changing the cars ride height, but drive like !Removed! or a full coilover kit from jic needs some modsto fit that year which are around 2000

being in brooklyn there are many places you can go to any per formance shops have mesh grille in blue silver black and anodized polish chrome the last one is probably the one you want cost about 20 bucks time maybe 1 hour difficulty 2.5 it only take a few screw to remove the grille then just bend the mesh around the origianl grille by hand and replace the whole grill all done sorry i don;t have a pic of one to show you but it is real easy to do
-
when you say checked what do you mean? did they ermove it as the mesh can only be seen through a little hole in the metal cover from the top and a solvent need to be swished around in there for a while to loosen it there is a vavle in the tranny that opens up when the tranny warms as to warm the fluid to operting temp maybe that is giving a problem also what tranny fluid are you useing synthetic or regular when the do a flush do the just loosen the bolt and drain the fluid or fun the engine to hot then remove the cooler lines to feed and drain the old and new fluid since to get at most the fluid the tranny has to be hot as that valve will not circulate the fluid through the whole system

ford trucks though are the damn good i will say that for beating on every day the fit and finish iss another thing completly but it is made to work not really go to the opera but i am sure in texas it doers alot they seem to sure love there trucks there ( i haven't travelled in the states too much out of the big citys) kinda perfer chevy trucks for durability and dodge rams for looks but it is all so opinionated everyone likes different things and in 2 years you must have really gotten a real good one i used to go by the f 150 truck plant outside toronto and they didn't have that may defects in the line as comapred to the windstar whiich had a huge row of lines for defects to fix which hapened to be next door to each other in oakville the 350 is a beast though all you need now i a turbo k9, as the 7.3 is gas right?

did you only notice the check engine light after the sfac was put in it might be a bad splice job or a wrong wire on it causing a draw instead on a sensor wire to the ecu with the false reading giving it a lean mixture if you disconnect the battery what happens does the light go away and come back right away or after a little bit after trying that disconnect the sfac and redo the battery again and see if the light comes on again i might be more prone to say it is the sfac wiring than an intake or exhaust just a thought though
