allot

anyone...?

Please let me know about that one! :)

lexus or toyota mate and they are not that expensive.........ebay is more expensive.. Thanks Ormi, do you have a web link or do i have to call up somewhere?

Have been looking for ages for a rear passenger light for a 54 plate IS (its the dark satin one) but just cannot find one! have seen a few on ebay but they are very expensive £70+ Does anyone have one for sale or know where i can get one for a decent price?

Nice one Jack...if you have a look through the rest of the catagories (handling, braking, etc) the IS is nearer the top...making it a brilliant all rounder! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/driver_power_2007/archive/?group=category&cat=ride_quality

Thanks E910 thats very useful...! I've looked at the fuse box loads of times trying to find the dual fuse.

Bump!!......please help!

is there a fuse just for the TRC?

Thinking about painting my brake lights from the standard chrome to maybe that of the front lights (dark browny grey - 2004 IS)or even black....... What you think guys, do you know of any pics anywhere.......?

It would be great if it could be made from bits and pieces. What you think of taking the glass lense from the IS fog light and fitting a reflector cone of the same size with the bulb contained in the middle? Surely theres not that much trickery in its construction, is there?

I've got retrofit 5000k HIDs in my IS. They look really really good and are very bright......however, they do not appear to be the same as those found on brand new lexus's. My neighbours got an rx350 and have noticed that the light coming out of his car is somewhat different - i mean absolutely superb!. Its clear, is evenly distributed across the ground and has distinctively clear cut off lines. A bit of further reading here (http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html) has lead me to conclude its to do with the fact that mine are fitted in standard headlights as apposed to projectors. Ive already seen these threads and none really hit the nail on the head.... http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...p;mode=threaded http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...aded&start= Do you reckon its possible to create your own retro fit projectors, anyone know of any or maybe have tried it before? It can be either from a number of random parts or adapted from another car..... Maybe a bit of a blue peter jobby... :) Any thoughts?

Hey VJJ..just got mine working! Both the doors /boot and immoboliser work... turned out to be the transponder type.... As yours too is a 54 2004 model...this is the sequence that i used to get the doors /boot working..Just remember that when in the programming state (step 7 onwards) you can try many keyfob combinations... Hope it works for you too... Remote Programming 1. Close and lock all doors. Unlock and open drivers door. 2. Put key into ignition and remove. Do not turn it on. 3. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times. (Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock) 4. Close and open drivers door. 5. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times. (Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock) 6. Put key into ignition. Turn to "ON" , turn off and remove. 7. You will see the door locks cycle by themselves. If the door locks do not cycle (lock and unlock) by themselves then the car isn’t in programming mode and you must start over. 8. On the remote, press and hold the LOCK and the UNLOCK button at the same time for no more than 2 seconds. 9. On the remote, press the LOCK button for no more than 1 second. AT THIS POINT, the locks should cycle by themselves ONE time. This means the procedure was accepted. IF the locks cycle twice it has failed. The most common reason for programming failure is because the car didn’t receive a good signal from the remote. To fix this problem try these tips. 1) Stand outside of the car while you are performing steps 8 and 9. 2) Don’t hold the remote buttons down as long. As long as the car is still in programming mode you can keep trying steps 8 and 9 until you complete the programming. If you wait too long and the car exits the programming mode then you must start over. After you get the remote to program then continue on with step 10. 10. Close and open door to end programming procedure.

That looks really kool, I want one! Im looking on ebay but cant find any....can you point me towards any? Also, do you know if the wiring is difficult to connect up?

Just sent you a PM Jay!

Finally got the camera working after many many many attempts.....woohooo It now works when the reverse gear is selected.... Does anyone know how to get it so that you can also hit a button (Nav button for 1 sec on Kenwood 8220bt) and it will show the rear view image? I understand that it only gets the power when the reverse lights come on, but what wire can i connect so that i can have both, ie, when the reverse gear is selected and also when i press the button on my headunit? Am i write in thinking just connect a acc wire to the wire coming from the Kenwood?

Anyone? Please help!!

Still no luck with this :( :( I have bought a new reverse camera kit and still no image on my kenwood. This leads me to believe the first camera kit was fine and its down to the installation. I cant see whats wrong with it though, ive tried all the combinations mentioned here and on the reverse camera booklets.....what could it be?? Please help!!

None of those links specify for the 2004 model and been advised there is a difference. Thanks for help though

It looks fantastic, well done. Got two questions: 1 - Do you think you can make your own "anti glare" adjustment to any hid bulb by covering the same bits which a material which can withstand the heat (maybe, electric tape?) 2 - If you dont mind me asking, How much did it cost you in total?

The old key still works, its a master key and its the only one. Im wondering what the difference is between the sequence for the older lexus's (<03) and the newer lexus's(03>) Any help appreciated guys!!

Just bought a new 'complete' key of ebay and got it cut. It seems that I cannot get the remote to work with my car at all. The key is/looks brand new. I have tried around 4 variations of the key programming guides (both on this forum and external forums) and it just will not work. I get to the step where you prepare the car and enter the combition on your fob and absolutely no reponse or sync up. They just dont want to talk :( Has anyone with the same or similar spec car (2004 54 is200SE) got it to work with theirs? I know that based on the year there are a few differences in the steps taken to get it to work but despite every varition tried, nothing. Please help !

I think it will switch over, pressing the nav button is just a bypass i think to test it. if youve got an ign live in the boot from the amp connect to that rather than the rear light with the red wire from the camera. Thanks sparkystav - I'll be sure to give that a try..!

Excellent thanks for your help mate. Ive removed the amp now but the wiring is still there so i can connect the power lead from the camera to the remote wire on the audio connectors going to the amp. I don't have a multimeter to test the electrical connections as of yet. The desired end result i'm hoping for is to get the camera switched on whenever i switch to reverse gear. Having to press the nav button for a sec is still brilliant, but would really prefer the automatic switch over. So in summary what would be the complete wiring you would suggest for this? I would really appreciate a dumb proof list of connections! Im in Harrow in North West London....Would you be able to get there, i will be working until around 7 though, is that when your around? If so, send me a PM for details Thanks again ! you may be in luck mate.. im prob in harrow tomorrow evening.. i will pm you my number so you can all me when you finish work.. Cheers - ive just replied with mine!

thats perfect - thanks, i will try that. The only thing i didnt get was this line (also the link didnt work for me): the wire from the kenwood to connector 2g wire 2 in this diagram in the passenger footwell http://www.bahamutcars.com/workshop/IS_98-...ay.html?page=90
