I would aim to change them all, theres threads about opening lamps up and spraying the inside surrounds darker, may be a cheaper option, altho opening headlamps is proper fiddley and you would need to ensure a proper re-seal, somethin I am crap at so i'll be buying my new lamps instead
-
really depends on the colour of your car
-
Cheers I have but they aren't fitted yet, need the money to replace 2 foggy headlamps
-
nice touch the iphone in the model, both look really good
-
thats cheaper than I was expecting, i'll double check with the dealers as the only 2 on ebay ones on auction so god knows what that'll go for, but theres a buy it now at £90 damaged, if they are £150 each I might just buy a new pair

aero front bumper on ebay at the mo, has tte aero in the title so shouldn't be too hard to find, also 2 brand new chicanes on there at £50 each with best offer, worth makin an offer as its the second time they've been listed, altho it'll probably be an age before 2 more come up, altho if a set comes up these are 2 cheap spares, these are listed as lexus sport wheels

Lexus Is220 Alloy Wheels 17"

My light's seals have gone as a result of a minor bump and the amount of rain I've had to drive in has messed my lamps up, having looked at how to dismantle them to clean dry and reseal I thought I'd give it a go it didn't go well, the little tabs along the top of the headlight I just couldn't get unhooked and I was too close to breaking them to carry on, so I'm cobbling them back together and stickin some silicone seal round the edge just till after the MOT How much are new units from the dealer? I would like to get a pair of darker ones

bare in mind the stereos will need to have the same model number on the front with whoever u swap with
-
I believe they only heat the bottom of the screen as ford apparently have the patent for the fully heated front screens, i could be wrong on that tho
-
if it only stays on sometimes it seems to me one of your brake lights is loose, mine used to do it after i'd changed my bulbs, I hadn't put one back in properly welcome :D
-
when I had repair done on my green IS the chap at RRG Toyota called it the sport kit and wasn't familiar with it under TRD as it happens, I call it the TRD kit as thats what the vast majority of people are familiar with, so everyone knows what everyone else is referring to, apart from the odd member who confuses tte and trd

I have 18's on mine and the difference between 17's is noticable, but I still find 18's comfortable enough, i'm on standard suspension which may also be relevent
-
no its £245 for a year original tax hike for post september 2001 cars meant the IS would have been £400+ for the year, but before it was actually implimented it was revised again

Is250 Vs A5 1.8 Tfsi
Rory replied to Greedy80's topic in Lexus IS 250 / Lexus IS 250C Club / Lexus IS 220D & IS 200D Club
I don't know many people willing to give up a small child so they can have a car that looks nice, (thats how it reads lol) on a serious note tho, the customer satisfaction surveys (i think) rate the Audi A5 near the bottom, I don't know how specific the surveys are within each model tho -
also when u press the lock/unlock buttons on the fob they don't lock and unlock the boot anyway
-
if the boot won't close then it sounds to me like the lock on the boot lid has closed while the boot was open happened to me once when I slammed the boot shut, I was parked near some bushes and a branch was sticking into the boot when it was open, so when I slammed it it locked on the branch and not on the hook, so I took the branch out and closed it and it wouldn't shut, just forced the open latch open by hand (didn't take much effort) altho thinking back, try just stickin the key in the boot lock, and turning it to 'open' and then closing the boot

only seems to cause confusion if you are not in UK

one on ebay at the moment Clicky

Head Lights (Xenon) Will Not Go Off !
Rory replied to SMITHLEXUS's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
please laugh out loud if i'm being thick, but if the ecu and fuse board seem fine, can it not just be down to just a fuse? -
everytime it went on ebay the seller cancelled all bids before it ended, i'm assuming he'd expected to get higher bids and it didn't so he cancelled so as not to let it go too cheaply

Is 200 Se Rear Light Failure Warning Light
Rory replied to LexusIS200Bhoy's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
open the boot, the caps on the black part of the light cluster are exposed, remove the 2 caps and unscrew the screws, the light cluster pulls away with not a lot of effort at all, it kind of hooks on with a lip on the bottom edge and a push in clip near the top, this will become more obvious when u actually pull it away and then u can get at the bulb holders, twist the relevent holder quarter to half a turn and it'll come undone from the cluster -
Painting Calipers
Rory replied to Monocle's topic in Lexus IS 250 / Lexus IS 250C Club / Lexus IS 220D & IS 200D Club
u'll be surprised how noticable black is, even on a black car, the fact that they will be much tidier than the bare surface makes them stand out, and the decals only emphasise this, I was going to suggest red, everyone goes for red I know, but theres a reason for that, it looks good, however your decals would look better on Black calipers and i'd go for black -
I suspect you don't USE those guys u linked, I suspect you ARE those guys you linked, might I be right?
