I do sand and clear coat them and it last less than 12 months 🤷🏻

John, 😳 I missed that 👍🏻

As title, they are for sale for about £105 a pair I restore my headlights every year with the Meguiers restoration kit but they still go foggy after a while. They also aren’t that great on the inside. So has anyone replaced their headlight lenses? These are the ones I found https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134628496918?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2c9iwa6hrr6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=KXES22htS7K&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Vlad Dis you ever purchase this unit?

Congrats, I’m also thinking of changing to a IS300H, currently running a 2009 IS250. In eco what’s the top speed in electric mode and what sort of range can you get from the battery being fully charged?

Just pull away the bottom of the sound proofing on the bonnet and see if you can see the black 3 way valve. mine was just a 3 way plastic tube in white. This is what I ordered and it was incorrect for my car. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153968712508 Mine has these inside the bonnet https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164262980013

Check which valves you need before purchasing or you’ll end up with the wrong one like I did. Mine were hidden just before the washer jets inside the bonnet cavity. I've now fitted them and they are better than when I bought the car nearly 5 years ago. In fact they are now very powerful!

More info just in case you find this via a search like I did. My 2009 Lexus is250 doesn’t have the one way valve like the one mentioned above. I purchased one without checking only to find my one way valves are separate and just before the nozzle hidden inside the bonnet. see link for part Click

Greta post Linas.p Just what I needed.

Is the valve behind the sound insulation on the Bonnet?

Hi I have a is250 (74,000 miles) and the last couple of years I’ve had an annoying knock on the front right. Ive had a Mechanic check all the bushes and joints but can’t find anything. I fitted new drop links just in case but made no difference. He did notice some play in the brake Caliper carrier guide pins. I had new guide pins fitted but this didn’t seem to make a difference. So I’m wondering if maybe it’s a shocker on its way out Top mount looks fine but it’s fairly difficult to diagnose a failed shock. Are the Toki shocks the standard fit for the 220D and is250? just wondering where you got these from and how much? Thanks

I meant the small clips either end of the pad.

I've now got the knock sorted, it was the front right calliper having excessive movement causing a dull rattle, pins greased for now, that seems to have quiated it down. Mechanic said the pad retaining spring isn't very tight and pads could do with changing in a couple of thousand miles. anyone know what make pads come with new springs? europarts stock Brembo but no memotion of springs coming with them.

Hi Did you ever cure the knock?

I've just change both front drop links and I still have the dull rattle, more so when They look ok, don't know how to check them. how did you find out they were your problem?
