I received the order, ultimately delivered by DHL, which was correct oem globes. Very happy!

Still processing on impex order page, Japanese holiday is over today so maybe status will update.

I pulled the left foot cover and found this corrosion circled below. Could this be the source of the problem? sure seems suspicious. I noticed rust on a bracket superior to this under the leftmost dash as well. Likely water was dripping on to that bracket and onto the harness. I need to look...

I believe this is what I am experiencing with my 06 LX, sporadically after heavy rains lately while parked in the driveway overnight my headlights and fog lights would turn on by themselves. I need to disconnect the battery to turn them off. Sunroof drain is clear and truck has original...

I just put in an order with Impex for 4 globes to MA and will report back the outcome. I am willing to go through this process to pay much less for the same product from a reputable Japanese company and put my saved money elsewhere to good use. I have the money to overpay from a USA vendor but...

Strongarm 4361 hood struts are $7.09 a piece at rock auto right now

F/u I ended up convincing my shop to install time sert for the fix. So far so good. Kit is 4412E-111, m14 x 1.25, comes with 5 inserts. The remaining spark plugs were only finger tight, and I replaced them all with new denso irridium. I will now be checking the plugs at regular intervals to...

Do you remember if you used Loctite red 266 on the external threads of the insert during installation? (I know time sert says it’s only needed on a taper type plug install, not flat gasket type plugs that our cruisers call for)

Thank you all. I wish I would have viewed that @2001LC thread back in 2018. I found a shop that will try to put in the time sert insert. I am going to order the correct kit for them. I will followup with result.

Hi folks, I have a 2006 lx470, 162k on this rig, owned the truck since 110k miles. After coming home from a long hike new year eve with my wife we noticed a tapping sound under the hood. Upon further inspection and promptly throwing a misfire code I saw cylinder 1 spark plug stripped the...

Hi folks, I have an 06 Lx 139k, oem alternator replaced about a year ago. On drive in to work (high 30s/low 40s) today in MA, I noticed that battery dash light came on....only when I flipped on the headlights. Car sat in lot all day during work and started right up when I left work, and fm...

Best wishes with sorting the damage out. That rig needs to stay on the road. I will make a note to steer clear of driving in Atlanta.

Is it like driving the wild west down there in Georgia? Are these rust free Southern rigs? I'm tearing up.

Wow sorry camino70, how unlucky 2x in the last 6 mos

Unless you have physical limitation and are unable to do it, I'd recommend just doing it your self. The bypass module install is very simple and will only take a couple of minutes. Toughest part of this is removing the starter fuse for the relay wire. The block off plates are a little more...
