One more thing to think about is how you maintain the lamps in the headlights. With HID's you can change the lamps, cords and ballasts without having to remove the assembly, with the LED mounted versions, you have to pull the entire assembly out to replace the fixture. Those little trim bits up...

FWIW, if your current lights and lenses are in such good condition, just swap the lamps and ballasts for HID. You can buy a replacement kit from Morimoto and the results are very good for the money spend. It's a drop in style replacement so no need to pull out the current headlights, bake them...

I'd just flush it again with 1 can of additional fluid. You can reuse what comes out during the flush too, but maybe run that through a coffee filter just to make sure you aren't re-adding debris.

You can just replace the lenses on the LX, I assume an LC can do something similar or you can buy entire new assemblies and install those. Moritmoto has multiple options for new lamps, ballasts, etc and it's all documented in the headlight upgrade threads in this forum. I used H1 HID with new...

The Cerakote kit is excellent, you can also bake the assemblies and swap the lens for new but I'd do the kit first.

Skip the AI, you've Mud. I would not go with those 3rd party assemblies, you will be right back in the same situation you are in today, but then you will have no good option but to start over. Morimoto makes an excellent set of replacement options for the LX, and you do not need to step all...

I pulled all of the fluid out of the reservoir in low, filled it to the top, then drained the accumulator first. The AHC guide thread has tons of great detail and lots of useful information from folks who have done it before if you can handle the sheer volume of info in there.

TAG makes ballast mounts and all of this is covered in the headlight threads in this forum. Link below is for page 40 of the thread, but given your questions, you should think about reading the entire thread. LX470 HID RETROFIT PROJECTOR BRACKET -...

It looks like the PO installed lamps with too much current draw. You have the replacement kit, I'd install it and make sure your connections are clean to prevent the same type of heat build up that is shown in the photos.

If your glass guy doesn't know how to mount or fix a rear mirror mount, he's probably not the person to handle this task. It's not just a tear off and quick seal project. That said, I recently installed a Wolfbox G900 Tripro in another vehicle and it's really really nice.

I was told that 44K can slip past the rings and severely dilute the oil, so they always wanted an oil change when it was used. I trusted the mechanic who took care of those vehicles for several 100K miles. In my case, I would drop in the 44K one tank before oil change time so it all lined up on...

Make sure to change the oil after running the entire tank of 44K.

Wow, you found the secret special jelly reservoir, congratulations! I assume someone poured brake fluid into the AHC reservoir to get it to that point? The VGRS might just be flagged because the battery was disconnected, my VGRS light comes on whenever it's disconnected and turns itself back...

I replaced the entire headlight unit with new ones, we had a trip planned and when I pulled out the old ones they ended up needing more work than I had time for. So I had Bell Lexus quick ship the entire new units and popped them in with the morimoto kit of bulb and ballast. One day I'll...
