:tsktsk: If you have HID headlights there should be a sharp cut off (much sharper than ordinary headlamps). Otherwise there may be an adjustment or loading problem. :tsktsk: I bought my car a year old. I replaced the alloys on warranty and have looked after them as recommended on the auto-detailing link on one of the pages on this site. The paint work of the alloys needs as much attention as the bodywork if not more. Mine are still like new after 2 years. I've just noticed corrosion on my alloys - and it's only just 6 months old - a bit dissapointing for a £30K+ vehicle. I'll be getting the wheels changed at the first service - by which time it will probably be noticable enough to warrant it. Alloys shouldn't have to be treated with kid gloves - Audi, VW and even Land Rover do a better job of finishing wheels from my experience. I find the darkened rear glass difficult to see through when reversing off the drive in the dark but it's a small issue really. The seat belt alarms really bugs me - it continues to chime even when the car is stationary. It's legal not to wear a seatbelt when reversing but Lexus is unable to differentiate this. Anyone know if it can be disabled? The internal trim is great except for that imitation wood effect - it's really 70's and really naff. Lexus goes to great lengths with brushed aluminium around the window controls on the doors, then spoils it with imitation wood effect. Is it possible to get this changed for black or brushed ally? I've picked up a couple of stone chips - and I don't do much motorway driving - tis a bit of a pity. Come on Lexus - how about another few coats of paint! Other than that - it's perfect. I just love the driving position, irrespective of what Jeremy Clarkson says - and yes he's right you can get an Uzi in the glovebox :-)
