Hello, I just picked up this 2002 LC last week and have really enjoyed it so far. Despite the higher miles (230k) it runs extremely well and is super comfortable...no doubt because of it's extensive maintenance history. This thing is 100 percent stock...at least for now.
One issue that has me on the hunt is why it keeps burning out light bulbs. It arrived in my possession with two burnt out low beams, which at the time I thought was a bit odd, until I was reading the previous repair work receipts and saw that some "owner supplied bulbs" were installed. I replaced those burnt out low quality bulbs with some Sylvania's and everything functioned properly again.
Two days later on my way home, I lost the driver's side low beam, then both high beams. WTH?
I got home and checked the fuses which were fine, popped in a spare low beam and it's functional again. If it is a short, it must be downstream of the fuses then, but the connectors don't seem overheated and the wiring that I can see all looks fine.
So my question is...where do I begin? Is there a secret Toyota connector somewhere that's the likely cause of this nuisance? Is this a common issue with these 100 series?
Looking forward to learning all about these great rigs!
