As Tigerfish says it is a grommet, the other side is called a......Wallace.

No aftermarket HID kit is road legal if only because they are not type approved and the bulbs are not e-marked. That doesn't mean they won't pass an MoT though - the MoT checks immediate road worthiness, not Construction and Use issues. Even if you have a valid MoT you can still be prosecuted for not complying with C and U regs. Highly unlikely though. I have an HID kit - first MoT with it fitted is due in a couple of weeks. Incidentally, MoT stations have recently been equipped with much stricter beam testing kits. i'll let you know how i get on. I am not surprised that a mechanic declines to fit them. They are not legal and professional mechanics should not fit things to cars which are not legal. What you do yourself is up to you - but understand the risks and don't just try and say 'I thought it/they was/were legal! But clearly Sathax doesn't want HID, so lets address his post. Oh dear - you really shouldn't let your car get to that state - any bulb which fails (and its opposite side partner) should be replaced immediately. Now - the dip beams are the outer bulbs, the main beams are the inner ones. The two bulbs are independent of each other. My advice from here would be to take it to your mechanic and get him to replace all four bulbs with whatever he recommends - but do it now - today. It would be a good idea to learn how to do simple tasks such as replacing bulbs etc yourself. You pay through the nose for a professional to do things like that which really are simple to do yourself (although - fair does - headlamp bulb replacement on an IS can test your patience and dexterity of your fingers.)

Hi, So I have had the car now for about 3 weeks. Slowly making a list of things to do. Car is RX300 at 103K Timing Belt + Water Pump Change (Booked with Lexus, surprisingly cheapest and cheaper than 3 quotations from local Indys) Fix ticking sound coming from dash. It is most probably the air-circulation motor on the driver side. (any one know the part number?) Transmission Fluid , couple of flushes. Its dark red, so may as well do it ASAP. Will get Toyota Type-IV from Lexus, flush at local garage. One rear Wheel arch has a bit of rust that seems to have been covered up by touch up paint. (don't know if I should leave it or get it sorted). I plan to have the car for at least two years. It is parked out side on the road. Will need new tyres for front very soonish. Service, Oil/Filter, airfilter, pollen filter Rear breaks are squeaking, may be seized calipers or breakpads coming to end. Anything else that should be on my radar at 100K? Thanks

It's just the grommet for the wiring loom to head into the cabin behind the dash. He probably decided against it as he'd have to make a hole in it to feed the wire in Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC

Or take read here...it may help you Sathax

It's great. Fresher air in the car, plugs into a 12v socket, £15...

Avon tyres had good reviews and cheaper then goodyear. Will probably go for Avon as don't really do lot of miles.

Hello Andrew and welcome to the LOC. I understand that Lexus UK provide a 12 year corrosion warranty but certain conditions have to be met for this to apply, I would either check these in your warranty booklet if provided or contact your local dealer. Regarding recalls again your local Lexus dealer would be able to provide this informatIon, bear in mind they may ask for proof of ownership so take the V5C and some photo ID with you. Also check the price of the cambelt replacement, Lexus offer a discounted service arrangement for cars over 5 years old and are quoting £295.00 for your cambelt change. http://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/servicing-and-maintenance/#ServicingYourLexus

That's for an IS250...
