    LX470 question... Has anyone ever removed the yellow egg yolk turn signal caps in the rear lights?

    We'll, yes, that's why I was looking at the LED lights as they are white/silver and don't produce the egg yolk effect.

    Yep, I should have been more clear. The on on the top is aftermarket, the others with the paper cone are OEM.

    Oh yeah, those are aftermarket speakers.

    LX470 question... Has anyone ever removed the yellow egg yolk turn signal caps in the rear lights?

    It works fine, it's just purely for aesthetic reasons. I just hate the egg yolk look. I'd rather replace it with an amber LED bulb or, worst case, a chrome covered amber bulb.

    For the most part surrounds are surrounds... Pretty much all will degrade in a hot car after 20+ years. If they don't list them directly, you can get measurements of the surrounds (inner and outer diameter, etc) and match them up with the generic surrounds they sell.

    If the surrounds are crumbling at all the sound is going to be terrible. It's HIGHLY likely that the foam has turned to dust on most car speakers after 20 years, but you'd have to look at them to know for sure. If you touch the surrounds and the have a good spring to them, then it's not your...

    This was the first thing I did on my LX470 with Mark Levenson. Amazing value to restore the factory sound. It was a bit of a pain in the butt, but was well worth the effort. As a bonus, I was able to take the cloth speaker covers off and REALLY clean them. They were filthy... If you are...

    Milky white grease flung around my CV Joint...

    I need some help deciphering that ;) Are you saying it doesn't matter how it got mixed with water, just that it did and just replace the damn axle?

    Milky white grease flung around my CV Joint...

    Agreed, I'm just trying to see what could have caused that to happen. I can not find a meaningful cut/crack/split on that boot anywhere that would have allowed water in. Also, trying to determine if the consistency of the grease is normal, or if it does look like a mix of water/oil.

    LX470 question... Has anyone ever removed the yellow egg yolk turn signal caps in the rear lights?

    I was replacing the bulb for my brake/running lights today and I noticed that the egg yolk turn signal is just a cap inside the turn signal assembly. If it were separated, you could simply unscrew it and remove it but it is, of course, sealed shut. Instead of cracking it open, would it be...

    Milky white grease flung around my CV Joint...

    Hello all, At first glance I THOUGHT my CV boot was split and the grease was being thrown out of a crack or hole in the boot. Upon further discovery, the boot seems fine, but it could be seeping past the band clamp. Also the grease is a milky white consistency, is that normal? If it IS...

    Wanted  Charlotte: LX450 front end body parts

    Hello all, A bit over a year ago I was in an accident that messed up the front end of my 1996 LX450. A large truck ran a red light and hit the driver side fender and bumper. The fender and flare are wrecked, as is the bumper and all the LX specific parts like the headlights, grill, and turn...
