I was hoping that this was gonna be installation instructions, no such luck.

What, you don't read Japanese?

Were you planning on a self-install or taking it to the dealer?

LOL, sorry no Japanese here, maybe a little Arabic. I worked in the Car Audio business for a few years and have always been good with electronics, so I was planning on doing the install myself. I'm sure that it would be a pain but not that difficult. But, I'd like to have some instructions for reference so I would know which specific harnesses and where to disconnect and how the brackets assemble, and where to install the DRL switch and where it plugs in, etc...

Yeah, installing w/out instructions would be a pain. So what's the plan? Do the guys at Carson have any way of helping?

Luis said that he and Steve and trying to see what they can find out for me. In the mean time I will try to patiently wait. It's OK, for now, the weather here in Michigan is bad so I don't really care to work it it right now, and I'm negotiating to buy a house right now, so I'm pretty busy. I'm also waiting for Luis to release the Carson Grille for the 3GS and some company to release a rear window top spoiler.

Sounds good, thank you. I can't wait. Any word on the Aero kit and the spoiler? Also, when can I expect to hear or see more about the Grille that you are working on and the rear window spoiler? Thanks again.

These will DEFINITELY help, but the english translation version would definitely be better.

SO I am assuming the 3GS foglight process is much more intense than the 2GS? The 2GS, you uncrew 2 screws in the front and voila, you have the fog in your hand.

Maybe try going behind the plastic under the front wheelwell and see if there are screws there to take the lamp out.

I just can't see Lexus making a fog a high labor item.
