Electrifyed

I was always led to believe that the beam converters (which are actually just blanking filters, not "converters" in the true sense of the word) don't work with HID lighting.

My F355 had HID lights, but there was a lever behind the light unit which changed the angle of the lamp so that beam dipped right or left. I would have thought that there should be something similar for these.

I know some newer model vehicles have a button on the instrument cluster to change the beam dip direction of the HID lighting. I guess this is a shortcoming of Lexus for not having given consideration to vehicles in the European market where both sides of the road are used depending on the country you're driving in...

Of course you're right, more like obstructors really, however, the offical line, now, from Lexus is that they have had 'technical' issues with the system they had (?) and that they have no recommendation at present other than don't go abroad or drive in daylight only...!!!

Hi, I own a uk rx300sel 53 model in france and stuck the stickers on that they sell in the shop at dover.Haven't had any problems with them at all..they specifically mentioned lesus rx300 on the list.

Does yr RX have the HID/swivelling headlights?

Help.... Going to France tomorrow and Lexus claim there is no approved method of converting headlight beam on these cars for foreign travel. I noticed several posters have been to france etc, what did they do?

Also, I have a set of Vredestein snow tyres (255/55/18) fitted in the UK with a set of chains for the front tyres (tryed them all and they work great...), they are good for most all season stuff too.
