Oh I thought you had a video from the "in person" photo session? Maybe you were talking about the video on Edmonds website, that is an awesome video there.

Hey, I have those same license plate covers!!
I would really enjoy working for lexus getting to drive prototypes and such. I wonder if Lexus has any openings for Anesthesiologists?

This is Andre, the photographer. I do indeed have a low quality video of the worker driving the car onto thetransport truck ramp. It's low-quality, shows nothing new, and I have no hosting for videos, so I figured I wouldn't go through the headache of trying to post it. Feel free to ask me anything else. Keep in mind I had all of about 3 minutes with the car (during which it was shut off), so I missed quite a bit of subtle detail. I was disappointed by the sound of the engine, sounds about like my Rav4

Why don't you upload the video to YouSendit and post the link here so we can all see it. I for one would still like to view it unless it's totally unviewable.
Thanks for your input here on ClubLexus.

Yeah, I have no clue where in Austin. This was at an expensive resort in the La Jolla area of San Diego, the area with the multimillion-dollar homes. If you can picture that type of place in Austin...

By next Jan they might indeed sound the same - the V6 out of the IS might find its way into the new RAV4.

If you take apart the tail light and peak inside you can see some of the clear surface mounted LEDs. Also, the tail light casing is stamped 5W near the 5W 168 bulb location, and LED near the LED circuit board connection. I have some pictures of all this in the RX330 section somewhere. I was only able to take a picture of the LED scribed on the casing, but not the actual LEDs itself because in order to see it you have to peak under the circuit board where the camera just can't see. A few magazine articles also mentioned the combination LED tail lights in some of their test reviws with the RX330 firt came out in 2003.

if you look at Lexus's website, they mention if they have LEDs under the safety paft...for example...look at the LS...

It is true, however, that the RX400h gets a "different" set of LED taillights, ones that look more LED-looking than those on the RX330.
