Hi Guys, Hoping someone will know the right way to do this. I'm in the process of replacing all of my lights to LED however I am suck with the rear dome light. I've googled and searched but cant find the 'how to' remve the rear dome light housing to replace the globe in my IS250. Does anyone know how. Ive managed to take a sneek peak between the dome light housing and roof and can see there are some small blue plastic clips holding it to the roof but dont want to yank it down too hard incase i break something Cheers Quoc

Agreed with Subby. Do your research on some of the known issues with each particular model so you can keep an eye out for them when you take them for a test drive. I got ripped off when I was about to purchase a 2008 IS250 Sports Luxury - the car looked too perfect for the price... did my checks and came back it was written off, flood damaged etc (lost $200 deposit) but better than losing $30K I was lucky to find my IS250X.. while the exterior needed some care (all fixed after a proper 3 stage polish & opticoat paint protection), the car was well looked after by the previous owner (servicing on time - every 12 months not km's, no accidents etc) Another thing to take into consideration is Lexus servicing (thats if your going to keep on getting it serviced by Lexus). I heard the 90K service is approx $1500K+

I pop around to my uncles once every few weeks and he's a VIC Po Po..... Told me as long as I dont act like a hoon/douche on the roads, ill be okay but that would also depend on the po po... if s/he is a rookie, then thats another story.... My car is just lowered and in the process of putting some new wheels on it... no loud exhuast, sound system, bodykits etc

Its a quiet day here at work so here are the VIC Roads's 'Guide to Modifications for Motor Vehicles' 13. Tyres, Rims, Suspension and Steering 13.1 Introduction - Lowering or raising the ride height of a vehicle by altering its suspebnsion will alter the amount of suspension travel. For example, lowering a vehicle by, say, fitting shorter springs will reduce the amount of available suspension travel in the "bump' or upward direction. 13.2 VBS 14 Modification Code LS The following modifications may be performed without certification provided they are carried out in accordance with Subsection 2 General Requirements and Subsection 4 Basic Modification without Certification of Section LS: - tyre and rim substitution carried out within the limits specified - lowering and raising suspensions (by not more than one third of the original suspension travel in either direction provided the overall ride height is not increased or decreased by more than 50mm from the manufactures specification) - shock absorber substitution - spring and sway bar substitution

When I was living in Adelaide and getting defected every 2-4 months, I would always get defected for ride hight. They always measured from the centre of the wheel to the fender and then look up what in some book on what it should be. I know I fail the coke can test but I dont drive like a hoon.... (maybe once in a while when there are no cars around) =)
