@ryanSC300lover: Thank you, The traction control works perfect indeed. If you don´t abuse it

@Dutch: I have absolutely no idea

@Vip-ish: You mean one of these switches?:





I did the clear turn signals as you can see, I have chromed bulbs in them. So you wouldn´t see an orange bulb. Also have some new license plate frame´s made of stainless steel.



Got myself some bigger muffler tips, these stick more out. And fit better over the original exhaust than the stock ones. Still looks neat in my oppinion

Woah, lol. They sent me the switches that work for the rear foglamps. I guess I'll wire it so they work for the fronts since in the US spec car what you labeled as "front fogs" are for the center lights in the headlamps)

I had NO idea your taillamps had rear fogs within it, thats WILD!

But yes, I was given in tan (matches my car) the entire dash piece for what you labeled as "rear foglights." The switches and fogs itself come with the wiring from the plugs

Just not sure if they gave me the front left or right foglamps

I have some new wheels under my car. These are 18" OEM Lexus wheels of the last LS430. They are wrapped in 245/45R18 tires including a full size 18" spare!

I think they look really decent, like they're original (car is a little dusty):











I got them from a wrecked LS430, I could also get the 17" versions of the first LS430. But the newer 18" look way better in my opinion

Currently I'm saving money for Big maintainance

that looks sick

lets c some pics of the car wit all those lights on

Asia-H.T.

Haha. I haven't got a picture of that yet. Only the Low beams are fitted with Bi-Xenon lights at the moment which are Low and High beams in one light. The original highbeam housing in the middle still houses the original Halogen bulbs, these will still turn on when I switch to high-beam. But the Bi-xenon in High beam position give way more light. The xenon's are also able to signal very fast, looks pretty cool at night, like lightning strikes

In the end the original inner High beam housings will be fitted with regular Xenon lights for those really dark nights. The fog light's will be turned into Xenon's too. And both inner high beam and fog light housings will be fitted with strobe light's too
I'm going to turn it into some kind of undercover car

At the moment the car is being stored at my mechanic's shop.

Next updat will be some tinted windows, not like the super dark 3% I have on the Cadillac. a 30% tint all around (except windshield) will be sufficient

yea u got dark interior so 30% will look decently dark. i have 15% on mine but i have light interior so 30% would have looked really light in my car.

i like the work, car looks really clean man

Thank you, In the end I want this car to be completely 'like new' again. So it will get a fresh paint and some leather works on the interior.

Maybe it will be supercharged too, but I'm not sure about that yet. It already has plenty of power to cruise at higher speeds. and it's an old engine with a considerable amount of miles on it

Stereo certainly will be upgraded by a newer sound quality one. And I think the air suspension has to move too, it's just too expensive. The shocks are alright, but now the sensors are having trouble too keep the car at normal level. It looks like a LS400 SUV after some highway driving

man i want those ls430 18s..looks so sweet!

I ordered one side foglamp, wires, and that whole pannel for the rear switch from a Junkyard for less than $100 somewhere in europe, but Now i need the other side, and when I tested the Pannel, its smaller than the US version so I cant really use it....WEAK

@LiCelsior: Thanks! Well, I was lucky this set ow wheels was offered at a very reasonable price Maybe you can find something on Ebay one of these days?? Mine came from under this one:

@Vip-ish: All I could find are foglights... with cars attached to them. However, I will try asking someone new.

The panel doesn't fit? I didn't expect that, however, you don't need it for the front fog lights

glad to see you keeping the car clean. good luck

Well, it aint clean no more. I took a little slide sideways and hit a traffic sign

However, I have been gathering parts from the US (nothing available in this pathetic country) and the only thing I still need is a '93-'94 correct door cladding. It seems that they are different from the '90-'92 ones.

So if anyone has one of these for a UCF11 (not 10) Left front door, and is willing to ship it rather internationaly. Please contact me. Thanks

Classy aint it?



Don't bother the crappy telephone picture

Small update:

The Euro LS400's have turn signals on the front fenders also. I couldn't find a set of clear lights for a while. But now I have them, made it look a lot better

Old:



They really didn't work with the bumper turn signals:









After sitting for half a year the right rear began to drop (trunk full of new parts ) :







So the shock is slightly leaking.... anybody knows if Megan coilovers are compatible with AS LS400's?

PureDrifter

The MR coilovers should fit w/o issue.
