No mate Hb4 I believe. Mine are like these with the leds around and at the front. Think mine were the 80w ones so look so much better. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -

It's the only one that would be done like that. I did my fogs and side lights to led and didn't have to take the bumper off. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -

Let me know if you come across led bulbs for the indicators as I didn't think they could be done. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -
Yes mate very straightforward. Most of the switches come off the back once unscrewed. The only tricky bit is around the gear selector I had to cut around it. The cup holder / coin holder lid had to be done in place. The ashtray lid was a bit fiddly. First-time I'd done it so there's a couple of bits not how I would like but all good apart from that. Seen your other thread and am looking forward to seeing what you do with it as I'm one of a few on here that like their detailing. Your clearly a few levels up. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Did mine in carbon fibre wrap but I have the grey interior. Judging by the way you have gone at the exhaust tips your a bit of a detailer Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Welcome on board, great cars so I've found over the last few years. Same colour as mine although I have the grey interior. Just say those pipes were in a right state and it's one of the first things I look for. I got rid of the wood in mine as I wasn't a fan. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Looks grim. Interior needs a good clean as well. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -
Get Bilt Hamber auto wash as it lasts for ages and cleans brilliantly. I clean mine quite often and it lasted me about 6 months. Wax safe as well. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Brake and calliper help for a newbie in NW London
leelacey17 replied to mephistophelean's topic in Brakes & Suspension
Had one of my calipers completely seized and couldn't budge it so had to get another off eBay and it cost me £120 I believe. If it hadn't got so bad I could have just fixed the seized pin as described above. Order the parts off eurocarparts and a garage will for them for you if you can't do them yourself. Personally I prefer to do stuff like this myself as it saves a fortune as those numbers quoted make your eyes water Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -
Congratulations on your new car. You do have a few options in that you can maintain your car yourself or get a detailer to sort it but depends on what you want to spend. The days of a bucket and sponge have long since passed and there are now so many optionsit can get confusing if you've never done it before. I would have thought for a few hundred quid you can get some basic equipment that will last you for a long time and will keep your pride and joy looking good Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Quite common now as they can get the car sorted from the outset with decent protection and any issues with the car resolved. I prefer to look after my car to the best standard I can get it. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

General quick early impressions
leelacey17 replied to FrzingNuts's topic in Lexus LC500 / LC500h Club
Lucky man hope you enjoy it. Sat in one a few weeks back and I agree on the interior, it just feels like it's made to a really high standard and will last for years Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -
Filthy exhaust tips
leelacey17 replied to baviaannl's topic in Lexus IS 300h / IS 250 / IS 200t Club
No the ones that already have soap in them that are made of very fine wire. Just keep them wet and should come up much better with time Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -

Get some value wire brillo pads from a supermarket and give that a go. Very effective. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -
What maguires stuff do you have? You could use the t cut on a cloth on your finger and would take them out but may leave a haze. Best way if doing that would be to be reducing the pressure as your finishing the polishing to add the gloss back into it. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

29" Wiper Blade?
leelacey17 replied to RobinGBrown's topic in RX 300 / RX 350h / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h+ / RX 500h Club
I always use wiper blades.co.uk Their own brand are cheap and are always doing well in auto express awards Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk -
Probably not if I'm honest. You can buy better quality products for a fraction of the price they are charging and do it yourself. Dealer applied coatings are not normally that great, but if you wanted to spend good money to do it then take it to a professional detailer who can do it correctly and use far better products. Would be far more expensive though. The thing is unless you look after the car correctly and wash it correctly the coatings are a bit of a waste of money. Take it to your local hand car wash and the paintwork would just get ruined anyway no matter what was put on it. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Spring Clean
leelacey17 replied to J Henderson's topic in Lexus IS 250 / Lexus IS 250C Club / Lexus IS 220D & IS 200D Club
Love those wheels I really want some for mine. Great job on the car it looks brilliant. I was aiming to do a full detail on mine this week but didnt get a chance so maybe next week. I like you just gave mine a quick wash and spruce up yesterday. I was never a fan of silver but I love the shine you can get on them. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
