    Alternator fried by LED headlights?

    I changed the high beams a few days ago and did not mess with the DRL resistor. As soon as I installed them and saw that the DRL was on at full blast I simply removed them and then ordered a new set of just the low beams. Originally I bought a pack which had highs and lows and since us didn’t...

    Alternator fried by LED headlights?

    Understood but what could possibly go wrong with an LED install when you are just plugging the lights into the harness? I suppose they could have been plugged in backwards at the worst but how would I confirm that? Anyone know what color on the Lexus harness side is positive vs negative. As I...

    Alternator fried by LED headlights?

    Thanks to both of you. Additional color I left out. I did notice when I was doing the install that the battery had an odd amount of corrosion for a 23 month old Lexus branded battery. I have not had any issues with it starting but when I saw the corrosion I did unhook it and clean the...

    Alternator fried by LED headlights?

    I installed LED bulbs in the low beams and running lights in my 2011 a couple of days ago. I did notice some quirks when I initially tried to turn the light switch to initiate them as I was installing. Lights on the dash went off and the push button start would not initiate. It’s as if the car...

    AC Evaporator Cleaner access?

    Thanks for the posts. I am hoping someone knows where the drain tube is... I looked under the glove box and in some cars you can clearly see the evaporator box which would allow the drill access for something like the BG product but I did not see anything definitive. Easier and preferable...

    AC Evaporator Cleaner access?

    My 2011 LX570 stinks like I know alot of Toyota products do. I changed the cabin air filter but it did nothing so I now want to clean the evaporator. I've seen write ups on other cars but am surprised I cannot find anything on the LX570 or newer landcruisers. Living in Houston the AC runs year...

    Help - how to remove trim around gear shifter / console

    I like messing around with things and was polishing up the center wood just because I am anal. I had NO IDEA it was that involved. I thought maybe some fuzz or a penny could be under the USB door as it looked like it might open a tad bit further. If it was simple I was going to check it out but...

    Here are two pics from the side. Just need to remove that center trim section if possible. Want to be able to get underneath the little usb and power compartment.

    Help - how to remove trim around gear shifter / console

    I have a 2011 LX570 and am having hard time getting the wood trim and center section out around the gear shifter. I removed the side leather panels and the ashtray section but can't easily pop out that center part. I'm trying to get the wood out to polish it and need to check if something is...
