  1. Thanx for that john appreciate the reply...would you say that maybe thats the reason why i have the problem starting that i have said about in th topic.......

    Hopefully getting the HID`S from HIDdirect dno whether to go for the 6000 kelvin or 4500 k one`s :whistling: think they are HB4 bulbs??

    i dont know m8,im not a mechanic but if it was me, i personnally would follow robs advice,as i have found his advice 1st rate in the few years i have been in LOC

    got my 6000k h.i.d.s from them...big improvement in light output with hint of blue

  2. How do you know the battery is fine? a volt meter can show 12V on a nearly dead battery..... change the battery and it will be ok

    Ok cheers rob i was thinking its the Battery.its not sluggish when i first turn it over but then do it again and its kinda slowish when it does fire up...what is the best one Battery to get i want to fit HID`S so best to get higher amp Battery ?? if i change the Battery would it set my alarm of and balls my radio up (standard lexus one) and do you change & swap over one wire at a time from old Battery to the new one?

    hi mate

    i have just bought a new Battery,bosch s4 which is asia silver...direct fit from o.e.m & 60 amps which i run h.i.d kit.

    no it wont set of alarm or mess up radio which isnt coded, but you will have to reset your fav stations

    disconnent neg lead first & reconnect last onto new Battery

  3. Its happened at last, i picked up my 2001 IS200 sport. I am in love with my car. Will post some more details 2morrow when I take some pictures.

    congratulations m8, i remember feeling the same when i bought mine & it still makes me smile.

    enjoy & welcome to l.o.c

  4. Seems odd to me, I'm not sure about battery powers, but I had my HID kit with the OEM battery from new, and now with a Bosch asiasilver battery, and I've not had any problems with either.

    It does sound like there must be a problem with the HID kit rather than the car.........

    i know m8,its annoying

    like i said ive used wiring harness,checked its properly earthed & problem still exists on first putting on lights after starting car then fine after flicking switch a few times with equal light pattern & no flickering of light from drivers side

    came to conclussion it must be Battery after what lexus said & fact h.i.d instructions state it may be Battery which should be 70 amph...apoligies if im waffling

    how much did you pay for bosch asiasilver & what amp is it m8(hope you dont mind me asking).

    cheers john

  5. Thanks Einstein & John,

    I agree that the problem only has been occurred once and it couldnt be a fault ballast.

    I am still waiting the seller to send me a battery wiring harness which enables to power the kit direct from the car's battery. Is it helpful to solve this problem?

    to be honest ryan..i have used the wiring harness & problem still exists,less frequently since i took harness back off

    as einstein says i think there is not enought curreny on start up,which in my case after flicking light switch on/off a few times with engine running..drivers side then lights up

    i was told by lexus at recent 50k service that Battery was not as good as it should be,so will defo upgrade to 70 amp Battery shortly & hopefully that will cure problem

  6. Hi All, :hehe:

    Just investigating getting a Parrot LS 3200 to put in our IS 200 Sport - just wondered if anyone else had got one and how easy are they to fit?

    Or does anyone recommend anything else?

    Also wanted to find out how, if at all, I can connect my Creative MP3 player to the factory fitted stereo.

    Look forward to hearing from you :tomato:

    hi m8

    i have parrott 3200ls kit fitted to mine...excellent kit.

    i had local i.c.e shop fit mine using the front door speakers which mutes stereo when receiving or making calls manually or via voice recognition.......charged £60

    fitted mine to the plate of existing phone cradle next to stereo

  7. hi m8,

    didnt know the 300 came with full leather, the is200 se & sport come with i/2 leather 1/2 suede combo which is best in my opinion,especially in hot weather(not sticking to seats)

    the biggest difference between the 200 & 300 is the power. if i had the chance to choose know it would be the 300, i am looking at getting a supercharger which is probably the best mod for the 200.

    the 300 also comes with Xenon h/lights as standard...i think

    at the end of the day it is what you want that matters

    hope that helps & good look with search & keep us updated :winky:

    john
