Nearside front light cluster

[Mjcoy]

I'm flummoxed. Returned to my parked ES300h. 2021 model. Nearside front panel dislodged from mountings. No signs of any damage to paintwork and no dents. Managed to push back in place temporarily. However, none of the lights in the front nearside cluster are working. Any suggestions?

Sounds like someone might have been trying to steal your car.

They access the canbus cable next to the lights.

Perhaps someone interrupted the thief- sounds like you may have had a lucky break.

Yes. But I believe someone on here had a quote from their dealer somewhere north of £3k. Will depend what the damage done actually is. In all likelihood, that’ll then mean a claim on your insurance.

Phoned my local dealership. Told me to bring it straight in. There nay be a 'small' charge. Will let you know outcome.

When it happened to mine, the lights were simply disconnected. The total cost to reconnect and refit the panel was £120.

 

Still no word from Lexus on the solution they told Watchdog would be available at the end of April!

Dealership excellent service. £75

I have to leave mine parked up in Ireland for a week shortly, dreading it. Unfortunately l can't find anyone that can fit a Ghost immobiliser as the year model 22 is not compatible. Lexus appears to be distancing itself from any problem, terrible service.

I'm going to get a wheel clamp and/or a steering wheel lock
