Do these improve lighting at night? Are more for cosmetics? Where did u get them?

Its the 1fz-fe. Stretched the head bolts and head gasket let go. Replaced head gasket with a Cometic MLS and some ARP studs instead of head bolts. Waiting on turbo to be built to strap to the side....
What wheels and tire size do you have?

Installed Ram Mount with X-Grip. Decided to mount it to the driver's side seat rail for easier accessibility
Got them from ebay,I think they look better than the stock park lights and much brighter especially if you used LED bulbs
Was the foam underneath still intact? I have one that needs repair but the foam has a spot where some is gone.
Replaced heater t's and hoses on my 2005 lx470. Not too bad of a job. Much easier than the 80 series phh. I replaced both t's and all 6 hoses. Then burped the sysrem. Drivers side hose broke when pulling apart.
I need to do this on mine. They haven't broken but I'm at 140k and pretty sure they are original. I'd hate for them to break at a bad time. How long did it take to do yours.
Threw some new parts on the Lexus
It took about 1 hr total. Best to just replace hoses too, makes the process fairly easy. I used some long reach curved tip pliers for the whole process. I have 129K on mine - I am pretty sure they were original. Got the parts from @beno.

What was your cooling system burp process? How much coolant did you end up adding?
I had torque converter locking issues causing the shakes at 35-45 MPH. Had the entire transmission replaced with a REMAN unit from ETE Reman for $50 at the Lexus Dealership and the price of the original warranty at purchase of my 2003 LX. Shakes are gone!
I caught the coolant when removing the hoses in a cup. Added it back to the overflow bottle. Put the vehicle on an incline and removed the radiator cap. I have a lisle coolant fill/burp system and after installing it I started the cruiser, put all the heaters on high, and watched the bubbles come out. I revved up the engine a couple times and after I felt the thermostat was open for a little while I turned the engine off, put the radiator cap back on, and called it a day. I didn't have to add any more coolant at least not yet. Plan to do a couple drive cycles then check the overflow bottle and top off with distilled water if i need any.
Sorry for the pics, no clue how to edit it. Wont let me remove the extra pics.
Went wheeling at gulches orv in South Carolina today. Saw two nicely built 80's. All most lost my rear bumper cover, but it was still attached!
Installed my White Knuckle step sliders, Dissent front bumper and Smittybilt H2O 12000 winch.
I'm really wishing I had ordered the 0* sliders instead of the 15*. I may end up cutting and welding them back closer to 0*.
