I was warming up my car this morning for work and I noticed a new sign on my dashboard. I scrambled to find my owners manual to see what the heck it is. It says there is something wrong with the headlight leveler for my HID headlights. I see that the lights were still working so I drove it in to work, but I can't stop thinking about it.

I've been searching this forum since I got into work today and haven't gotten anything done :( . If anybody can help ease my mind and tell me if this is an easy fix(something I can do after work) or do I have to bring it to the mechanic, I would appreciate it.

I have a 2002 GS300.

Thanks!

probably have to change your leveler module or the headlight ecu. i have the same problem and was lucky enough to grab a set of the HID ecu w/ leveler module for cheap. i haven't gotten around to changing them out yet, so my drivers side HID bulb is facing a bit upwards blinding oncoming traffic lol.

I finally finished researching the error code on my GS300.

The error code was P0763D. The mechanic shop was confused since in their reference guide they only saw 2 shif solenoids. Well it happens to be that there were 2 different types of transmissions shipped with the GS300 in 1998. There was the A650 and the A341.

The A650 Transmission has 2 shift solenoids and 2 linear solenoids.

The A341 has a total of 7 solenoids.

Rostra makes shift solenoids for the A341 but not the A650. Lucky for me I have the A341 in my GS300. I was able to buy the shift solenoids directly from Rostra for $72.58 which was great. This included a kid of 2 solenoids with a braket. Lexus wanted about $250.00 per solenoid and about $1094 to install. The install is rather easy and it can be done with minimum mechanical experience on these cars. The solenoids sit right under the transmission's oil filter and just plug into place.

As a reference the part number for the shift solenoids from rostra is 52-9021. Again this is for a shift solenoid kit for A341 GS300 Trasmission to target error code P0763D in the diagnostics computer.

Good Luck

I called Rostra today and they won't sell me the selenoids, i have to buy them through a distributor. So i called the local distributor and they won't sell it to me directly either and tells me i have to buy it through a transmission shop they referred me to. $250/kit!!! lol

Dude, if you can grab these for me, let me know!!!

PM SENT. =)

how about this setup?

19 x 8.5f

19 x 9.5r

both +45 offset front and rear????

let me know Sypher!!!

thX

Thx Sypher!

What are those rims you have on your GS4? Im contemplating whether i should go 18's or 19's staggered setup. I got a blisten sports/tanabe nf210 suspension setup right now and don't want the ride to get too harsh. I got the stock 16's right now and just want a upgrade but still keep the ride smooth and not too hard. Is there a big diff going from 18's to 19's?

I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on whether this setup would work with my 98 GS300:

18x8.5f +15offset

18x10r +15offset

I was doing some research and i hear that 98+ GS300/GS400 can only accept offset +35 to +40?
