    Seat recovering

    I don't mean to hijack this thread but does anyone know an option to swap out the front seat for maybe the LX570? I basically need the heating and cooling function of the seat.

    Strange electrical issue – fog lights and horn turning on by themselves (LC100, 2001)

    You have a water leak issue which is leaking somewhere around your windshield and is messing up with electricals under the dashboard. I'm 100% certain this is the case after I read this happened in heavy rain. I had same random electrical gremlin twice in the past after a heavy car wash. Not...

    LC100 Parking lights | Cosmetic upgrade

    Hi Mudders. I have been trying to figure out how to remove the lens of the side marker/parking lights of LC100 without success. These are not glued together but rather fused, and I don't think its cyanoacrylate glue either, i think both melt fused. Does anyone have any experience opening up...

    Finally replaced my "Accumulators, Globes, Spheres, Balls" today

    from what i understand, yes. You have to undo your TBs to increase the pressure on the globes to get within spec.

    Replaced the globes on my 2005 LX470, ride is harsher than ever

    yes, I have a VGRS equipped LX470. Been having issues with VGRS but i have managed to make it work again. Techstream doesn't work in resetting it but i was never aware you could reset it by unplugging sensor wire. I have read many threads on here about VGRS but never came across manually...

    Replaced the globes on my 2005 LX470, ride is harsher than ever

    can you explain what you mean? My steering angle is way off too and i cannot reset it. Does unplugging it reset it? if this what you mean? If so, can you tell me which plug to remove?

    2006 Lexus LX470 VGRS issues

    yes, I did that with Techstream. But I have also read some people were not able to get it right with Techstream and had to do manual SST which then worked. But I don't think it's applicable in my case ( I can be wrong). But I say this because I have a long history now with VGRS. Initially, it...

    2006 Lexus LX470 VGRS issues

    do you have a thread on how you replaced the spiral cable of your actuator? My actuator has probably a lose or cut cable connection. It works until after I turn my steering to a certain degree and VGRS then malfunctions and steering goes 180 off center. Switching the car off and on again takes...

    LX470 Overhead console removal

    Hey, can you let me know which wires did you tap into? I'd like to power my dash cam only when ignition is turned on and since Lexus link system is obsolete, I thought I'd tap into that power source. Attached some pics of my overhead console. Can someone help me identify the connector circled...

    Lx470 corner light removal?

    I have been thinking of painting the side marker housing black from the inside, how did you manage to remove the lens from the housing? They are held by some sort of cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) which doesn't come lose when heating the housing. And I have already broken 1 lens trying it.
