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!

Hi Ken, Glad to hear you are back up and working again. You won't be able to physically see the problem. Its microscopic fractures in the resonator under a tiny metal lid. The best method to diagnose is measuring the resistance between the pins. Justin

I can imagine it could be possible for this to set it off, I'm just not sure how likely that it. Did you pull the codes from the ABS module? This will store errors for a period of time and could be useful for diagnosing intermittent issues.

Since the the problem is intermittent, it ill be difficult to perform any useful diagnostics. Your best bet is to get TechSteam with cable and check for error codes. You can also use it to monitor wheel position sensors to look for issues. There could be other random things causing this as...
