Windows done. I have since been for another drive in the dark and beams were still off. Ill try the battery removal again on my in-laws driveway which is completely flat. Fingers crossed, don't fancy a trip to main dealer......

Hi all, I disconnected and reconnected my battery today to perform some electrical work. My car has AFS self adjusting headlights. I have noticed the first drive since disconnecting and reconnecting the battery that the beam patterns from each light do not line up like they did beforehand. One beam is higher than the other and it feels like the left to right alignment is also skewed. My car was parked on a cambered road leaning into the gully with the steering wheel not 100% straight when I disconnected and reconnected the battery. Do you think that has fooled the car and messed up the calibration of the headlights? Any ideas how to recalibrate? Perhaps parking on level ground with the steering wheel straight and taking off the battery once again would cure the problem? Help appreciated. Any other checks or do's and dont's when disconnecting the battery are also appreciated. Thanks Billy

I fitted Michael's kit today. Very pleased and not too much of a task to do either - if you aren't any good with the soldering iron get a mate who is and its a 2hr job max.

Get your head behind the rear hub and turn the disc you will see what I mean. If the scraping is coming from the dust guard then whip the caliper and disc off and give both a good clean up.

Scraping noise at the rear might just be the dust guard. They have a lip on them that slips inside the back of the drum/disc and as this corrodes it expands and rubs. Give that check before getting new rear calipers.....

Take a read here, look for post 8, Michael is your man to message. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/75371-folding-mirrors/ Cheers, spoken to Michael, ordering tomorrow (time differences). Also managed to sell the other one for the 200 today as well £20

Where did you get the auto closure kit? I bought one from a fellow member for my IS200 but did not get round to fitting it. Will it be the same kit?

That's the one I want OEM style with the little bump that goes over the rear Lexus emblem Do you still have a record of the ebay seller at all?

Found these Mak Iguan in Grey but looking like they're discontinued :-( Anyone recommend similar aftermarkets https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mak+iguan+quartz+grey+pearl&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=is&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMI3fSQ_Kr-xgIVC7YUCh1FTQWq&biw=320&bih=460#imgrc=Gj89aB2dmmahrM%3A

Brilliant.....I had the ISF centre caps on my 11 spoke IS200 wheels - they set me back £60 posted from Japan Great cheap mod will do this if I come to refurb my wheels

Think Ill hold out for a set that need a refurb....here's hoping lol

Your new calipers should cure your issue....though you may need new discs if they have had uneven wear due to calipers

That's ridiculously cheap! Couldn't even get it painted for that here.....

Do you still have a record of the ebay seller that you ordered from so that i can order the same please?

Very innovative, I will try this (though I don't have kids ha)

Whats the ride like on a 40 or even 35 profile?

They look even better! Lexus want £343 per wheel though :-(

Perfect thanks Mouser!

These are D4S replacement bulbs not for Halogen Headlights. I have HIDs as standard and therefore require D4S bulbs.

$73 inc postage I may have to pay a little customs aswell though I will let you know, sometimes they slip through.

As this post is a couple of years old now, I just wondered if the Blackberry Gateway is still required for A2DP streaming?

I went with Morimoto XB D4S 5500k I have had Morimoto before and they are very very good. Will post pics when they arrive (from US)

What style are you wheels?

Anyone know of an 18" version of the ISF wheels? Obv being aftermarket......? I love the looks but want 18"

Doesn't look too bad actually, still a shame they aren't 18"s. Thanks
