Regarding the AFS, don’t pull the fuse but instead just disable the led in the cluster. It’s so easy to do and you’re not disabling other features by pulling out the fuse 

Sorry if this is a dumb question, how do you disable the LED? would it be done via the OBD port?

The VLANDS and HC motions do have the servos in them to adjust the beam height using the manual switch adjuster. This can easily be adapted to work with the automatic level sensor. The level sensor system works on the basis that the height sensor on each front wheel is essentially a variable resistor that measures from 0 to 45 degrees of movement in car height. And depending on what angle the height sensor is at, it creates a voltage between 0 and 4.5V. This voltage is then translated into the value that the servo needs to adjust the height for the motor. The ones I got do not appear to have any servos in them, but if it annoys me I can easily fit an external motor connector to the adjustment cog to do the same thing. But as it stands my beams are aim correctly and they do not dazzle anyone. I tested it with full load and no load, the beams are actually somewhat dipped lower but the throw is still very good and the brightness of the pure white LED's is amazing. 

Great build so far btw,

just curious if I was to get VLAND's how would I go about getting the auto levelling to work. I saw that video of that convertible but it looked like they replaced the motor??

Also ive got the radar cruise on my car which I don't want to lose so I can't pull the AFS Fuse??

Not sure about the RX's but the IS250's were prone to this due to carbon build up. As others said for you it is likely a faulty injector.

Getting these fitted tomorrow along with some new ball joints. Will update after!

I believe it was an option for the later 11+ cars. Certainly not for pre facelift ones. 

My 55 plate 250 is fitted with it but I think its super rare in the uk for some reason.

@H3XME

Nice!!

Unrelated to this topic but you wouldn't happen to know about the adaptive radar cruise control option? Just curious as the only other people that I know who have it on their 250 are in other countries.

Hi Taseen. Is it just the date that's wrong? Are all other functions of the screen working as they should?

hi. yes everything else that I use works perfectly including gps. just this for some reason.

Hey everyone. 
I was looking through my nav system and noticed the calendar isn’t pulling the date down correctly - in fact there’s no date at all. Anyone know how to set it?

which side do you need?

Ideally both - but most importantly the left side (passenger) as that one has completely shattered. 

@Linas.PHi, do you have anti-glare auto dimming mirrors. If so i am interested in the passenger side mirror (just the glass)

@Neiloohhh I just understood what you meant. You are right the mirror unit has two harness connectors if it has auto-dimming. Unfortunately the one I ordered doesn’t have this - seems to be a rare feature as nobody is selling one that does.

Never mind i just checked now. I clearly wasn't paying attention last time. Here's what it looked like.

As you can see there four wires in total - two for the heating and two (the harness) for the anti-glare.

I believe the SE-L auto dimming mirrors have wiring with two connector plugs where others have one. 

I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong - if you take your door card off you could check.  

Neil.

You might be right. When i had a look I think I saw 2 connections but i assumed it was just positive and negative for the heating element - didn't really pay much attention to it at the time. I'll have another closer look tomorrow.

LEXUS IS250 SE-L 2006

Hi everyone. I recently cracked my exterior mirror and need to replace it. My car was fitted with auto dimming mirrors and I understand that not all cars got that feature. I have ordered the mirror from a scrapped car and am now wondering if my car requires a certain mirror - are there two different mirror types for this model (one with dimming and one without)? lexuspartsdirect.co.uk suggests that there is one universal mirror for all.

Just had the same problem, disconnected the battery... at first it stayed on then disappeared. From what I've seen on other forums is that it tends to be a loose harness connector somewhere. If it comes back I'll get the code scanned and have a look.

 

Light came back. Code scanned it was the drivers knee airbag (which seems to be the case with most people). Took off the cover and gave it a firm press down and light has gone off.

Yeah it's back now, thanks everyone

Anyone else noticed the RX500h is no longer on the uk website? My dad was thinking of getting one but can't seem to find it on the website. Anyone know why?
