  1. I have similar problem on my RX, the dealer used Xilon inside and outside. The dish detergent do work pretty well to remove the glossy polish on the dash
  2. I finally find the time to get around to install the kit from HIDEXTRA.com, this is a 35Watt hid 5000k kit ($60) for the kit, everything came with the kit, (i.e. all the cables, adapter cables, ballast, bulb, heavy duty double sided tape and zip ties) I originally plan on pulling the bumper out just a tad but found out that I have to pull the front bumper out almost half way out, I used a jack stands with a tower to support the bumper, also had 2 other towers on the end of each side of the bumper so when i pull the bumper, i'm not scratching the fenders To remove front bumper, remove the 5 tabs bumper cover once you pop the hood You also need to remove 2 bolts one of each end of the bumper behind the wheel well, 2 allen nut on the bottom half of the bumper and 2 bottom screw at the bottom of the bumper where the mud guard is Once you loosen up all 6 bolts/nuts gentle pull the bumper out half way make sure you have the towers on each end of the bumper and on the jack stand. Use the jack stand to support the bumper so it won't accidentally fall on the ground scratching your bumper or damaging the projector fog light. You will see on each side there is a flat service available to mount the ballasts, use alcohol wipes to clean area and make sure it's clean so the heavy duty double sided tape can adhere properly. passenger side mount Driver side mount Remove existing H11 bulbs, disconnect wire install Hid H11 bulb onto projectors connect all the cables as per instructions came with kit clean the ballast surface with alcohol wipes before adding the double sided tape on. mount the ballasts as seen on picture above. test fog lights before putting the front bumper back use zip ties for cable management as needed reinstall bumper in reverse instructions Finish product I also end up installing the Thundercloud grille and led side mirrors today too. So far Stage 1: Installed PIAA H11 Extreme white bulbs - slight improvement over stock Stage 2: Installed 35Watt HID H11 conversion kit, - improve visibility, a good sign Stage 3: Install a TSX Bi-xeon projector with full 55Watt OEM kit....pending on budget Stage 4: Install super-charged ballasts instead of OEM ballast for improve lighting.....need to wait for Stage 3 to complete before proceeding to Stage 4
  3. I've found these door molding with the Hybrid logo on lexus parts catalog. they are not that expensive, I need to confirm pricing I can say it online.
  4. Ours work fine, never a complaint, but that's an interesting idea, I might try it just for kicks
  5. Lexus has a service call "Personalize Settings" where they will program the car the way you want it. I was able to program the car to lock doors when my RX400h goes over 10mph, and this is just following the owner's manual instructions.
  6. Check this site out http://www.tvandnav.com/index.asp?PageActi...mp;Category=114 I've checked with the product's tech support group this tool plays ipod and ipod video, not sure about iphone, there is a group buy on another lexus forum for $175 + $15 shipping the analog version works with 06 RX 400h you won't lose in dash CD changer function. Most of these 3rd party tool plugs in at the back of the external CD changer plug I'm attaching a Vais SLI2 ipod adapter install instruction so you can get an idea how to install cos most of the 3rd party ipod adapter requires pretty much the same thing to take apart the stereo dash and plug-in the external CD changer port.

  7. Nope, we are really talking about foglights that are on the 06 RX 400h and mounted inside the front bumper. :)
  8. After a week and a half of no replies or help from anyone. I finally figure this out and i find out the original information I got was incorrect. It's a H11 bulb and not 9006 like it mention on the manual or some website. In the end I'm going to do a mini retrofit and turn it into a HID foglight, along with the quad hid setup that I'm planning to do
  9. I've found a vendor sponsored buy for the Gen4 version 6.1 OE disc for $54.00 a lot cheaper than ebay which sells for about $99, buy the original and not bootleg version.
  10. I like to know besides upgrade to the maps and take out the much needed Override feature, what does the disc do ? Does it give a new look for the Hybird Consumption system look or anything else ?
  11. Did anyone play with the display button and turn off the screen ? if not do you still have factory warranty to your RX400h ? if so take it in to the dealer, let them take care of it. No sense messing it around to make it worse and give dealer a chance to blame it at you later on.
  12. So to get to the foglight bulb it's access through wheel well ? or take off front bumper ? I'm new to all this
  13. Thank you very much, everything worked out great this site rocks !!!
  14. So where can we get hold of the infamous hybird disc where you have newer maps and still be able to do override ?
  15. Hi Any updates ? I'm actually thinking about doing the same thing here.
  16. Thank you very much for the link, it's very helpful, I will try it out this evening after work. Sorry for being a Noob
  17. No, I deleted all the old phones there. So as of now no phones are paired
  18. Hi Everyone I recently purchase a pre-own certify 06 RX400h from dealer, I'm having issues with pairing my LG Vu with the integrated on board Bluetooth device. My phone can pick it up but the car can't see my phone. My phone's bluetooth visibility is turn on. Are there any special way to pair the 2 ?
