Mine is also a 2008, but here in Europe I've been told that only the earlier (2006) hybrids had a recall on the inverter, and that there has been no recalls on 2008 MY so far.
Since there is no local (EU) production of the RX, I would expect the recalls - if any - to be the same both sides of the Atlantic...

I have tried the PIAA extreme white bulbs, not much improvement, you can try some of the aftermarket HID kit which cost about the same (US$65 range) I know your budget is a lot less so maybe some silver stars bulbs maybe affordable via online.

In Canada we have daytime running lights ( not sure if thats the same in USA)
they are also the stock yellow. If you look in the headlight> on the inside of the stock hid headlights is the high beam compartments. In the corner of that there is a small bulb thats just in the corner of the high beam compartment. Thats the bulb I want to change to LED or a better color bulb (Any advice on what I should use or what the bulb is)

We have DRL here too, mine has been disable because of the retrofit. All it is is using a lower wattage on your highbeam bulbs during day time( at one time I had PIAA extreme white bulbs in and it's a bit better than stock but not much noticeable differences) and at night like you said the tiny bulbs above the light housing, I've seen people do white and blue so far, I forgot what the bulb size is but can ask around ( anyone wants to chime in ? )

Next summer (as winter is here in a few weeks) looking to put 20" matte black rims on it. Get high gloss black paint for the calipers. and a regular size tire as low profiles i feel, compromise the smoothness that lexus has. and part of the reason you bu this vehicle. haven't decided what type of rim yet. Probably multi spoke.

My car is the same picture as J9AVN post up just above. same color I mean.

The one thing I really want to do is change my audio> I have the non premium sound. NO DVD/GPS/Touchscreen/Backup Cam i was looking at this:
ebay link
and then maybe like a pioneer after market screen with the whole gps/nav/camera ect... as right now i don't even have an ipod connection. Gotta settle for poor quality with an fm transmitter.
however doing this I lose my steering controls. very sad. Any where i can get the stock premium audio without taking a loan? like maybe a used one?
(ANY SUGGESSTIONS or reference to things people have done?)

Have you talk to infiniRX yet ? he is selling his Kenwood deck plus more he might can get you a good deal


other than that. keeping it stock for the most part.

btw I fell in love with the BLUE Lights in the CHROME door plate that light up the word LEXUS on all 4 doors.
Biggest seller when buying the car> And I have a black interior.
