Have you removed/unscrewed the board from the metal box? Lower the fan speed on the rework station. Go up to 300C. It takes time as there is a lot of metal in the PCB.

Installed mine in June 2025. Shipped out my original assembly as the glass was still in great condition. So no yellowing. This is not a daily driver, mostly for camping trips but have taken on a few cross country trips. * Any issues with drivers burning out? They get damn hot and I live in...

That's great to hear! Glad it all worked out for you!

Looks like a twin to my 2002 LX 🙂 You must have a '03 or '04? Mine are glass housings. What brand are your LED fog lights?

Not that I'm any good at it, but I did a tap splice: Basically this but solder it at the end:

Good to know! I soldered in the running and turn lights. When I get some time, I'll likely solder these in also. The LED drivers get so damn hot. I'm placing miniature heatsinks on them. I live in Phoenix and its already 112F here. Can't image how fast these will die if the heat can't get out!

At some point, I'll write up the install process.

Here are more pictures. I'll add a few more close ups.

Here's what I ordered: Retrofit Headlights / Lexus LX470 (98-07) / TEQ Customs New Housings: I Will Send In OEM Housings‚ No Lens Replacement Headlight Color: Chrome Add Projector in High Beam Area: Mini Bi-LED Projector Halos: Single Front Halo Upgrade Halos to RGBW? (Color Changing): No Hex...

I ordered for OEM retro fit beginning of January. Paid up front This was based on several good reviews on IH8MUD. They contacted me last week to send in the original housings. I sure hope I have better results than MongooseGA's friend!

Yeah I have seen some of these that are intermittent. The other two (X1/X2) are crystal type oscillators. I've never seen one of these fail. The one that fails (X3) is a ceramic resonator and the failure seems to have something to do with the packaging.

Congrats on getting into the Hundy (100 series)! They are for the most part easy to work on and very reliable. I've owned my '02 LX470 for 20 years and I think it has at least another 20 years to go! I'm glad that you found the thread helpful. From your description, it definitely sounds like...

If you are able to communicate with the ABS module at all, that eliminates this specific issue from the list as the bad resonator make communications impossible. If you are measuring an open across all combinations of the terminals, this is likely due to the passivation coating used to prevent...

Thanks, just cleared out a few messages

This is awesome! Glad to see that documenting this is helping so many people out!
