My dealer just told me that PN has been updated to #90011-01018 for the ANC bulb (used other places too) and when I go pick it up I'll see if they can find the PN for your hazard switch bulb. Somewhere I saw mentioned it takes a "T4" style bulb but that wouldn't be in the correct base for you.
Yep - it's the 98-02 grilles that aren't backward compatible and need modifying. Any grille from 03-07 is interchangeable. More information here on LuxCruisers
I guess I should read it better! Sorry
reading is fundamental. Thanks
Good luck! They were very helpful and it was resolved the day after I called.
Lexus Corporate just told me they really only deal with warranty issues and since I’m so out of warranty, all they can really do is facilitate a conversation between me and the highest management at the store that did the work. So we’ll see how this goes…
Well, mine was a botched recall repair, which may have been why it was resolved so fast
Poop.
It’s been overcast here for a while, but even in the shade it still pops. Good idea about the roof rack though; mine is all scuffed up and I still have some paint left. I think you just gave me my next project...
Yep, one can was plenty. I'd guess I've still got half a can left
I wouldn't use it for body colored cladding - the clear coat isn't as smooth as factory obviously. On the mirrors that naturally contrast the body due to sticking out, it isn't noticeable. I think cladding would stick out more. I have two tone cladding/body and am thinking about spraying the cladding though, since there's nothing else for it to match.
I've had the old girl for a year today, so I thought it was fitting to repaint her sad looking side mirrors. Used paint matched by automotivetouchup.com code 8P6 for Vapor Blue Metallic. I was hesitant because silver is a hard color to match, but I'm thoroughly impressed with the results! A rundown of my process for anyone interested in doing something similar is at the end of this post
To paint the side mirrors:
1) Mask off the area really well. I decided this would be easier than removing the mirrors from the truck.
2) Wet sand the mirrors with 600 grit paper
3) Dry with a microfiber towel, then wipe with alcohol to dry thoroughly, and follow up with tack cloth to ensure no dust particles are left.
4) Spray with 2-3 coats of primer, waiting 10-15 minutes between coats (it was about 40 degrees outside so my wait time was a little longer)
5) Waiting an hour after the last coat of primer, wet sand again with 600 grit.
6) Wipe with alcohol and tack cloth again
7) Apply 3-4 coats of paint, waiting 10-15 minutes between applications.
8) Let dry for 30 minutes to an hour
9) Apply 3 coats of clear coat, waiting 15-20 minutes between coats
10) Let the final coat dry for an hour, then remove your tape and admire your new mirrors for less than $50!
Paint from automotivetouchup.com, the rest came from Home Depot. I tried the high-fill primer that was supposed to fill in imperfections but I didn't notice much of a difference. Brand/type of primer isn't super important I don't think. I used clear coat that is meant for plastics and UV resistant: Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X 12 oz. Gloss Clear General Purpose Spray Paint-249117 - The Home Depot
