Let us know how it goes

the health check turned out alright. The engineer stated that as the front bumper had been repaired (someone had backed into my car and done damage before i bought it) the wiring may have been plugged in improperly for the drl to go off when headlights come on. I talked to the guy who sold me the car he said to bring it in he will get the drl issue fixed. The engineer also said one of the bumper brackets is broken. My questions is what is a bumper bracket and if its broken what happens then? I think one bracket costs 70 quid without installation.

I am pretty sure that the chap wants to deal with me direct rather than go through his insurance.  I am going to try to source a reputable bodyshop in the area and get a quote from them, if I can find another couple that come recommended I'll get quotes from them too.

I think you should get it done from Lexus. This is your own car that got hit due to no fault of your own.

Thats really odd.

Both DRLs turn on in mine if its dark outside and the car is unlocked

If its bright outside, they dont turn on, even when the car is switched on until the gear selector is moved from Park

when i turn the slider all the way back (to off position) both leds are on and super bright but when i turn on the headlights the right drl goes.

getting a vehicle health check done tomorrow will ask the technician about it

Hey guys I noticed something today. When the car is unlocked or in auto headlights mode, only the left drl is turns on. 

However when you switch all the lights off. Both drl seem to be working fine so I assume the light is still alive but weird that it doesn't turn on when the main lights are on.

I have only just sorted this problem on my car whilst fitting Angel Eyes. The headlamp units have 2 sponge breathers which will not stop condensation as they will saturate quickly if the lens seals leak. Remove the headlamp and bake to remove the lens. Dry the inside with a hair dryer. Partly close the unit so the glue is exposed still and heat in the oven again. Once its hot use silicone sealant on the seams and close the unit properly. I drove 70 miles in very heavy rain after doing mine and not a drop of moisture got in.

know anyone in the midlands who can do this for me?

the dealer in coventry said i should get a new headlight?!

I have the mk2 f-sport. I must say the mk3 looks so much better and more modern inside. It's like a totally different car. 

Which ones mine 🤔

^ +1 to DIY, it's really easy.  

At least give it a try and check for yourself.

You guys are right. But I wanted to leave the centre console 12v socket free for cell phone charging etc.

Third party warranty won't cover it - classed as wear and tear. Actually, they won't cover much including the hybrid system

The Lexus warranty is 3 years so has most likely expired already.

Id be taking the anti-glare coating off tbh

Using 'hob bright'? Lol sounds risky? 

A slightly off topic question. Does the method of 10000 miles or one year whichever comes first still apply to the servicing of these cars? Mine just had an intermediate service at 34k miles in November 2016.Do I need a full at 40k miles? hopefully not!

I aint confident enough to install the thing myself nevermind hardwire it! Halfords do offer to install which is whats pulling me towards their cameras.

hassan did you buy the car new or as a used car ,if you bought it used within the last year you may still have some warranty

from the dealer you purchased the car from

I got it from a trader, not from Lexus, shes still under 5 year warranty and I got a third party warranty for a year.

Very nice guide Matt!

However I dont think I'm confident enough to do what you did there :) Halfords offer to fit the dashcam and liver wire it as well from £30, I think I might use that, anyone had any experience with them?

You could ask at your dealer and you might get lucky, or buy the repair kit and do it yourself. Part no-86134-53030. It's not expensive.

Thanks for the information. I ll try checking in with my dealer and see what they quote. Or ill say im feeling lucky today do it for free :P

Nope, it means a service bulletin.

Since you said I am probably out of warranty, any tips on what my options would be?

Thanks.

There is a tsb for it but looks like you could be just out of warranty

Hi, What's a tsb?

Hi guys,

I recently got a Lexus is300h. It's in pristine condition but I noticed the centre console screen has this blemish on it. It's noticeable during the day, almost seems like a protective layer has been ripped off? 

Any advice regarding it is much appreciated.

Very very nice car you have there and a lovely colour. You must be delighted 😀

Thank you :) I am over the moon! just learning about the tips and tricks. Im sure there may be a thread around here in the forums to gobble up lol.

There you go guys, just brought her home :)

As Rebecca says. Pictures, or it didn't happen.  

Haha true that. Will put them up in a bit but feverishly reading up as much I can on the car :D

It's a 2013 model with 37k miles on the clock. Fsport with almost everything loaded. 

Hi guys!

I recently acquired a Lexus IS300h 2013 model. I have paid to get it off the market now just impatiently waiting to complete the transaction so I can get the sweet thing :)`
