Agree with all, should be lit properly or not at all. 2 reasons for partial lighting spring to mind, 1 p.o. has tried to obscure a properly lit light as previously suggested, or 2, there is current leakage on the board that houses the lights, ie a tiny bit of current is 'jumping' from a live (or ground, depends on which is 'switched' by the car, g or l) to this circuit, so the car is not providing power to light the eml  hence not fully lit, but this bit of bleed current is allowing a small flow and thus partial lighting.

Guess there is a third option, in that it's lit, but there is a non p.o. obstruction blocking most of the light, ie dead fly or bug etc. Does the eml light up fully when powering on through test cycle? If so, this rules out options 1 and 3, leaves current bleed.

If it doesn't light up properly when turning on or via test cycle, it's looking like 1 or 3, or a fault with that circuits power and or control.

Let us know what you test and find out etc, it's interesting.

Edit, wonder how light is partitioned between lamps within the cluster? Perhaps rather than current leakage, it's light leakage from another source?

This is very good advice in particular if it lights up on start up lets us know how you get on.

Oh my that has me in stitches 😂😂😂 

Hahaha 

Thank you very much for the help any more input would be brilliant guys

Hi all I know I'm New to the club but would really appreciate some help here I need 2 front shocks for my m3 55 plate 300 gs for it's MOT I've been on different websites and got conflicting views from my local motor factor qouting  me nearly £ 80 pounds per side then on arrival saying it's the wrong ones and it would be nearly £200 pounds a side 

Could any of you fine gentleman or ladies tell me if these are the correct shocks

I cant wait to be out cruising along in her as ive only had a 10 minute drive so far to the MOT station I would be very grateful for any help so I can get my car back on the road just a simple yes or no if they are correct would suffice 

Kind regards

Jay

Thanks Ken I'm sure I will 🖒

Hi all names Jay and live  in Milton of Campsie near  the outskirts of Glasgow been wanting to delve into the Lexus market for a long time and finally I have I'm now the proud owner of a 2005 300 gs picked her up 2 days ago with full service history she has 160000 miles on the clock and needs a little tlc on the bodywork got her without an MOT but only paid £2200 for her she's in black and got the mark Levinson option which is a big plus for me 

Only thing needed done for MOT is 2 front shocks and 2 rear tyres which I'm really chuffed at as everyone else works perfect I'm not sure what trim she is.

No Pictures yet as she's in the garage 

Got a quick question for you is it only Lexus that supplies the shocks or can I get aftermarket ones a bit cheaper anyone point me in the right direction

I look forward to a wee chat with some of you and being a valuable member of the club

Regards

Jay

I only got it yesterday so there are many others with more experience but i'm loving it so far.

Its my fourth lexus and easily the best, incredible car with loads of power and really smooth. I lucked out and got one with the 2010 facelift so i can play music direct from my phone via USB or Bluetooth without faffing around fitting an adapter which is a nice bonus.

Definitely drive both a 300 and a 450h, in general I found it easier to find a quality 300.

Nice one the 2010 model is great and as you say there's no faffing about with adapters etc I hope you have many trouble free years of motoring mate

Again your input is appreciated 👍

Cheers

Hi Frank and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer left over.

We recommend you spend a couple of mins looking over the rules of the LOC, we will be asking questions later.

Cheers Mike I already had a quick look through the rules thanks for the welcome 

Thanks for your reply I done a bit of research and did notice that someone in Northampton refurbished them only trouble is I'm in scotland still love the look of the 450h might go for a test drive in both cars and make my mind up that way.

good advice on the newer with high miles and the full Lexus history.  

Did you end up with the 450h how has it been for you 👍

Appreciate your input

Cheers

Hi everyone names Jay just popped in to say hello this will be my first lexus when I get round to buying it I've always owned a toyota.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma in what to go for initially I wanted a smaller lexus like the ls 250 but then the GS models started to catch my eye in particular the 450h I'm not looking to buy new but maybe a 2008 2009 model I don't mind high milers as long as they have been looked after 

I was all up for going for the 450h but started to hear of problems with the hybrid Battery so sort of put me off a bit and left me a bit dissapointed it's all about reliability with cars for me if anyone could put my mind at rest or any advice  in regards to the Battery problems that would be great.

Another GS caught my eye was the GS 300 it seems to have all the mod cons like the 450h and reviews in general are good just a little slower and less mpg but I won't have the headache of worrying about the hybrid Battery cells 

Any advice or suggestions or tips regarding what car to go for would be great thanks 

Looking forward to your replies 

Cheers

Jay
