This is strange, today i took out the right lamp (working fine) to plug it into the left side (faulty) to see if for some reason it might be the wiring or something other than the lamp, lamp still worked ok, put them all back after a little fiddle and now noticed that the right side some of the LEDs are fading and not as bright as the rest, i don't know whats goin on with these lights but its peeing me right off, looks complete naff now and tacky and i have no old lights cos sold them! Is there anyway i can test the lights off of the car or test the LEDs? Anyone fancy a swap for a faulty set of LED lights for some standard spec ones? Hmmm!

Lol! I have seen these about but am a bit unsure on em, i mean i don't think they quite go with the classy Lex look unless you got some aggressive styling goin on or some big power. But different, i'll give ya that mate! Lol!

Well if i decide to go ahead with the Brembo discs i will ask him if he will put as gifts, thanx for the tip! As i said as i am in need of new discs i thought i would go for the better looking type as the IS200 does not need extra stopping power in standard form!! So does Prolex UK have any pics or prices of these new discs coming out?...i don't drive my car very much atm so i could wait if its worth it.

Nothing is ever as straight forward as it seems is it. I might think against it then cos its like buying blind, i mean i won't know what the extra charges are until i have purchased and commited, i will e mail him again. I am in bad need of some discs so may well just get get the mintexones with pads. Does anyone know of anywhere else Brembos come in at a reasonable price as they do look good and while i'm at it i might as well try and get these discs. Thanx for your advice.

Oh didn't know that, wasn't aware! Thanx for pointing that out! How do i pay that then and when and how would i know the cost?

He said this would be the total price!?

Thanks, i e mailed the guy who told me the front and rear discs will be $256 plus $197P&P so all in is a damn site cheaper than buying them over here! Thanks guys.

Thanks for all the replies guys, on the look out for some late spec rear lights now as not goin to spend more money on another set of LEDs. Rich

To all you knowledgeable so an so's i've come across a set of Brembo front and rear discs on US ebay and was wondering if they will fit my UK IS200? In need of new discs so thought i would upgrade to these, at £250 inc. P&P sounds like a good deal. Opinions/advice appreciated. Rich This is a link for the Brembo discs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-04-Bremb...sspagenameZWDVW

Yeah guess its one of those things, grin and bear it i suppose, was just hoping there was a known reason for it! Ah well, as they say ***** happens. Now where can i buy one LED rear light! Ha! As for the rear LED fogs try this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

They are Depo lights yes, i bought them off a guy on here called SCORCHER who has a site called Evil Ride, had them since last September with no problems til a few weeks ago, its a real bummer, i have no reciept or paperwork for them now so i doubt i could claim under warranty, so i guess thats it just have to bin them i suppose and stick with the stock taillights?

I got the rear lights from someone on here, can't remember the name now but he has a website too, i'll have to have a look later see if i can find it. I did think it was a bit unusual for LEDs to fail and now i have noticed that the rest are starting to fail and go dim, just really annoying after all the money i spent on them and the talk of LEDs lasting a lifetime. Wherewould the faulty connection be, there just plug in and i've had them out to see if i could see anything but no. As for the fogs, i will get the link later on for you, but you go onto US ebay and put in Lexus IS200 LED fog lights should come up. Thanx for the response Rob

Ok, firstly those of you with the LED rear lights either black or chrome you can now get LED rear fogs to match, came accross them on US ebay, come in at £80ish. I have these LED rear lights in black and for some reason i have just noticed that the top 3 LEDs and 1 from the second row down are all failing to light on the left side lamp! I though LEDs had a long life or would there be another reason there not lighting that someone could suggest? They cost me a bomb and i can't believe this has happened, not happy! Anyone else with these found any problems? Although i also bought a pair of the pulse bulbs and was gonna have a change anyway i still like my LEDs and was gonna get these fogs to match. Anyone shed some light on this (no pun intended) Thanx

I was caught doing 90mph on the A13 which is a 40mph, it was about 4am goin to work late, saw this car behind me with only sidelights on coming at an alarming rate so i pulled over got the blue lights and two yong officers got out gave me some verbal and put me on my way! It really does depend on the coppers that pull you and your attitude towards the offence and them.

Does anyone have faith in England to actually get any further than Ecuador? Hmm...

Too much choice huh! I am in the market for a suspension upgrade too and want coilovers, i have a tight budget so was also wondering what the best kit is from Tein? I just get fed up of doin research and the more you do the more you seem to get confused!! Let us know what kit you decide on!

28 bought my first Lexus last year after my ST was stolen, although i wish i bought the IS300 as i find the 200 way too slow! Before that i was into performance Fords and at 23 i was driving a 250BHP RS Turbo, yes proper boy racer but i have outgrown that stage in my life now! I'm saving for that M3 i always dream of now! I must say i always seem to see older guys driving a Lex and I can't recall seein anyone young, must keep a look out, but then if i do see youth behind the wheel of a Lex it could be his dads! Lol!

Was just gonna post about that game Jamboo! Wow what a game! Lookin at England yeasterday and looking at the Argies today do they really stand a chance?! Fantastic football and a pleasure to watch, England always seem to scrape through when teams such as Argentina and Brazil WIN and in style! But as said above England got 3 points but lets hope we see some better football from the boys! Do us proud!

Gees, i hate spiders and this time of the year there seems to be more, the other nite i was sittin on the loo and jus happened to look round and beside the toilet was this horrid spider! Didn't think we had such nasty spiders in this country either, unless u were really unlucky and got one that came in from another country through imported fruit or summit! Hope your ok mate!!

Nothing more annoying than gettin a bump in your pride and joy, no matter how small! (Ditto star a)

We all have our own opinions and at the end of the day what does it matter if someone chooses to have some light hearted fun by displaying a flag when it comes to the world cup, at the end of the day it doesn't matter where you come from we should all enjoy it together and have some fun, after all, its a sport! Good luck to whoever your supporting!!

I ditto what Scarface said, well put mate, i'm of greek decent, born in england, live in Dagenham, some might say its chav city, but i see nothing wrong with putting a flag in support of your country on your car, its all a bit of fun apart from those who take it too seriously!! Those who say they wouldn't put a flag on there Lex, would you wear an England shirt!? Anyway, i am not displaying a flag on my car but i am displaying my support for England with a tiny aerial rubber flag thing which is subtle enough for my Lex! And if Cyprus were playing i would have one of each! Again, well said Scarface!!

At least Paraguay gave England the 3 points! I expected England to atleast score a goal of there own! Tut Tut!
