Me again :-) few bits still needed and brake disks

BMCWP · January 2, 2019

Right so far my car has been running flawlessly since I had the cam belts done, and I've started now on the cosmetic bits - for my 2006 LS430 I need one of the little red lenses (puddle light lens?) for the bottom of the drivers door, A wheel centre cap, carpet clips for the front mats (mine are all missing) and has anyone replaced the inside lamps with coloured LED ones? My old Jag and Range rover had Blue LED's in all the interior lamps except the map lights and is there a kit or do you just buy them from eBay or something. I'm looking at the possibility of changing the brake discs and pads is there a recommended OEM brand or any advice on that? and my DVD Screen info says "Data 2004-2005 Ver.2" can anyone point me in the direction of a more up to date DVD that will work in my car?

Hi, not sure on the other stuff but I've just bought the 2017/18 Nav DVD off eBay for £20. Should be here tomorrow so I will install and let you know how i get on.

Cheers I was looking at that and sent a question to the seller and some photos just waiting on word back so if yours works then it should be grand 🙂

I'm still having difficulty sourcing the other bits including an inner splash guard for the drivers side.

Instead of replacing the puddle light, you could upgrade to LED projecting the Lexus logo down. It's the only non-stock thing on my car, because I like the look. Simple push fit and about a tenner on eBay

Thanks I'll look into the puddle light replacement - Just as an aside I bought the disk from eBay after checking it was compatible (seller asked for photo of my current disk) and swapped it over with no issues at all, it worked straight out of the box 🙂 Now I can see the roads around our house instead of a blank screen 🙂

Just bringing this back up - has anyone in the UK got a drivers side plastic splash guard (Inner fender) for my 2006 registered (built in 2005) face lift? or one of these wheel caps ?
