  1. looking for 01 stock rims and 01 stock bumper, good places to look?
  2. i have an alpine cda-9884 http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/p...?model=CDA-9884 on the club lexus forum i posted on the guy said i should try by passing the factory amp and run the wires directly from the alpine headunit to the factory harness that comes from the car, i think that might be a real possible solution, i was also the car has a premium sound system, does that affect anything at all? i think im going to try to by pass the amp, i just kinda nervous about !Removed! things up with the factory harness cause if i do then im screwed he gave me a wiring guide, for the factory harness, check it out added it as an attachment and about what you first said yes. "Okay, now I'm confused, too. I did a complete rework of our '95 ES300 stereo, and I've done several installs with Apline systems, and I'm not sure what you are referring to when you talk about the harnesses. There is a 'wiring harness' that comes with your new headunit, then there is/are the factory wiring harnesses, and then there is an interfacing adapter harness that I'm guessing is what you went out and bought so you can connect to the factory speakers/amp without having to cut wires, right?" i have the harness that came with the alpine headunit. then the factory harness that connects the amp and the speakers. and then i went out and got another harness adapter like thing that has the 4 rca's coming out of it, so i would not have to cut any wires, its the rca's that are messing things up
  3. so i just recently got a 93 es300 first thing to do was install an aftermarket headunit, i got an alpine. so i went out and bought the proper harness and what not, everything works perfect BUT anytime the headunit is on the speakers make this sorta static'y sound and it comes from all the speakers and if the car is off and i turn on the headlights or even the parking lights its make a little loud static sound coming from the speakers, now for alpine headunits you have to buy this special harness that connects to harness in the car itself, and on that harness there are 4 rca's 2 red and 2 white that you have to plug into the back off the headunit in order for the speakers to work. and then you have a few other wires that you hook-up to the harness that your headunit comes with that goes into the back of the headunit such as, power, ground, amp power on. whenever i take out the rca's i the sound goes away, but the i have no sound, because the rca's are the only way i get sound because of the special harness, anyone experience any problems with aftermarket headunits like i am, please help!!! i was thinking, what if i was too cut off the top plug part of the rca's and just try to connect the wires directly with the un-used harness wires that are speaker wires coming from the (headunit) harness that i matched up the power, ground amp power on and a few others if i confused you please let me know and ill try to clear things up
  4. i think its worth it, i just picked up a 93 es300, i had it previously installed on a 96 camry and i loved it, especially in the cold days, im planning to have it installed on the es300, cant wait!!
  5. i have a 93 es 300 and it seems that both my mph gauge and rpm gauge needles do not light up anymore, do i just need to replace a bulb? or what do i need to do to get them to light up again
