  1. Ebay is correct. Type something like, Phillips Crystal Vision 4300k I am currently looking for some really yellow ones like from the last generation IS. I got precut yellow overlays for mine and they look great. Much easier and better looking than bulbs IMHO. I have the GT Yellow. http://www.headlightarmor.com/06-10-lexus-...ection-kit.aspx I will have to order me some!!
  2. I looked on ebay. None for that year model unless you just want 1. And it's 34 dollars. Lexuspartsonline.com has them for 27 dollars each.
  3. Yeah I forgot about that. Hold it until you hear a long beep.
  4. Well--it definitely looks like an IS mat. But, if so, it's not clipped down. There's a posting of this same picture on the Club Lexus [Car Chat] forum, placed next to a properly placed mat, which is no where even close to the gas pedal. Yeah that is a genuine Lexus rubber mat. And both the pedals and carpeting look identical to my 09 IS350. But mine are properly placed and like mentioned above it is no where near the pedal....as it should be.
  5. This is the paper that came inside the box with my floor mats. http://pressroom.toyota.com/pr/tms/toyota/....pdf?ncid=12040
  6. I know that my IS has a button inside the glovebox to lock-out the truck from being opened by everything except the manual key. I'm not sure if the SC has something like that but it's worth a try to look.
  7. Yeah for sure you need to remove the mat from underneath. That is what is causing the problem. Every car I have owned and even the rubber all weather mats from Lexus I got came with instructions that stated to remove any other mats first or else the mat could get shoved up to the gas pedal. Lexus has already done something but YOU need to be careful and read the instructions.
  8. I have the rubber all weather mats....held in place with the hook. Dunno if they are supposedly causing a problem also. 3.8 Million Toyota, Lexus Recalled Over Floor Mats The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration issued a wide-ranging recall late today for 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The recall stems from faulty floormats that can become stuck under the accelerator pedal causing unexpected acceleration. The defect is suspected to be the cause of one recent fatal accident. The recall includes the following models: 2007-2010 Camry 2005-2010 Avalon 2004-2009 Prius 2005-2010 Tacoma 2007-2010 Tundra 2007-2010 ES 350 2006-2010 IS 250 and IS350 NHTSA suggests all owners remove the driver-side floormat from these cars immediately and not replace them with anything. Toyota has released a warning for owners including steps to take in case of an accelerator issue. We've posted the notice below. Toyota Notice Should the vehicle continue to accelerate rapidly after releasing the accelerator pedal, this could be an indication of floor mat interference. If this occurs, Toyota recommends the driver take the following actions: First, if it is possible and safe to do so, pull back the floor mat and dislodge it from the accelerator pedal; then pull over and stop the vehicle. If the floor mat cannot be dislodged, then firmly and steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet. Do NOT pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow the vehicle. Shift the transmission gear selector to the Neutral (N) position and use the brakes to make a controlled stop at the side of the road and turn off the engine. If unable to put the vehicle in Neutral, turn the engine OFF, or to ACC. This will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. -If the vehicle is equipped with an Engine Start/Stop button, firmly and steadily push the button for at least three seconds to turn off the engine. Do NOT tap the Engine Start/Stop button. -If the vehicle is equipped with a conventional key-ignition, turn the ignition key to the ACC position to turn off the engine. Do NOT remove the key from the ignition as this will lock the steering wheel. In the event owners choose not to remove their floor mat, Toyota strongly recommends that they ensure that the correct floor mat is being used, that it is properly installed and secured, that it is not flipped over with bottom-side up, and that one floor mat is not stacked over another. Information on proper floor mat installation can be found on http://www.toyota.com and http://www.lexus.com. Owners with questions or concerns, are asked to please contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center (1 800 331-4331) or Lexus Customer Assistance Center (1 800 255¬3987), or consult the information posted at http://www.toyota.com and http://www.lexus.com.

  11. Yes just the passenger side, it feels like there is no A/c on at all. Please could you explain what you mean by the dual mode setting, Thank you for your help. I'm not totally sure how it works on the 03-07 LX. Or if it is even possible for that matter...but try pressing the "climate" button and see if there is an option for "dual" mode for the driver and passenger to select different temperatures. And make sure the vents are open too. I have tried all the obvious the instructions are quit self explanatory, it just is not as cold as normal age I can understand but the passenger side being much warmer is a mystery. 100,000 miles first ever problem have been spoiled. Yeah that is wierd. The only other thing I can think of is that something behind the dash is disconnected letting spoiled warmer air pass into the passenger side vents.

  13. Just the passenger side? The A/C is probably on "dual mode" and the temp setting is warmer than on the drivers side.
  14. I see your truck is a 2001. It will fit as long as the Land Cruiser is a 98-02 model.
  15. I had Potenza RE040 summer tires stock on my 06 Nissan 350Z. They are almost the same tire. Lasted 18k miles. And like yours the fronts were worn more than the rear. Unless you burn out everytime you accelerate the fronts are always going to wear faster. If you think about what the front does compared to the back it's obvious. That is the reason why you should rotate your tires every oil change...for "even" wear. But with a car with staggered size tires you cannot rotate... (like the 350Z and IS350, 250 RWD) Dealer was shocked they lasted that long. So i'd say it is normal. I did not drive the car hard at all. Had them replaced with all seasons with a 90k mile tread life and I brought it back the next day to get the stock RE040's back on. The all seasons made the car handle like a boat. It's just me but I would not skimp on performance. If you want all season tires, get a Taurus or Malibu.
  16. I think you will regret the 250 AWD. The 350 is loads better. Just get you some snow tires and or chains and you will be fine. Because honestly if you think about the amount of time you actually drive in weather like that it is probably less than normal weather. I own a 350 and sometimes get a 250 as a loaner. There is no way I could live with the power difference. Like someone said before...a 4 cylinder Honda Civic Si is faster. Just test drive the 250 and 350 then you will see. But once you do you won't ever want to get into a 250 again.
  17. Ebay is correct. Type something like, Phillips Crystal Vision 4300k I am currently looking for some really yellow ones like from the last generation IS.
  18. I have a 09 IS350. I occasionally use the AUX port to play music with my cell phone and also with a few MP3 players of mine and my friends. Never can I hear the high pitched noise. Try using a different phone or MP3 player to see if you can link it to the cars system or the MP3 source. And possibly the separate and costly IPOD adapter is made for this reason. And I think you are saying it only happens when it is also plugged into the charger. If so usually a cars 12Vdc plug is connected directly to the cars electronic loop which will bring you some high pitch noise when you speed up. Usually concurrent with the RPM. The higher the RPM, the higher pitched the noise. Sadly it is not curable so do not waste your and the dealerships time. So you might not be able to charge your phone at the same time you listen to music while driving if the noise bothers you that much. And I’m not sure if you should jump to returning the car for this reason. Charge your phone at home or at work. That is a big hassle and it still might happen in any other car you purchase. But it might be worth it to you....just making sure you weigh the odds.....40+k dollar car for a 100 dollar Iphone? I'm sure you will change phones before you change cars.
  19. As long as your A/C is blowing cold it should be ok. It usually will not kick on until after driving around a bit and everything heats up. And then again it all depends on ambient temperature and humidity.
  20. The front is going to look lower as the suspention parts and fenders are different. But honestly I think whether it is actually even or not the front almost always looks lower. But like you said the torsion bars can be adjusted to raise or lower the front.
  21. I'd say it's normal as long as it is coming from where the metal clamps are. There is never really a perfect seal on parts like that. The rubber boots will degrade and some of the fluid will be let out....and eventually they will bust open in different spots warranting replacement. Mine went out at 85k miles.
  22. No sorry. It's all or nothing.
  23. Most if not all OEM HID systems use 4300K, which is equivalent to natural sunlight. The higher the temp the bluer the color will get. But with less light output. If you get any higher than say, 10-12k you will get purple. Phillips makes a halogen bulb named "crystalvision" that states will match factory HID kits but I have never seen them. http://www.lighting.philips.com/us_en/auto...ive〈=en
  24. I have never even noticed that they tilt in reverse. I always actually turn around and look behind me or at the screen for the rear camera.
  25. Yeah that front lip spoiler you have is part of the X package. But so are the 5 spoke wheels which you do not have. So regardless of whether the car came with the X package and the first owner did not like the wheels...or if the car did not have the X package and the owner wanted the spoiler just tell them yes because all they want to know is about the extra front spoiler for the separate piece of clear protective film.
