Default New to the Lexus family

Hello everyone, I just picked up my first LS400 today. It's a 91 with 193,xxx on it. Body, engine and transmission are perfect. Always dealer maintained. I have 2 problems, the rear air bags are totally shot, how hard is it to replace the air struts? Is there a DIY? And also while driving back the O/Doff light started blinking. What does this mean? Thanks everyone.

Replacing air struts aint that difficult, All you need is some screwdrivers, wrenches, and some sockets. The strut mount might be on there more tighter, but you'll get it loose with a longer wrench or something.

Bad part is that rear seat, and a lot of trim has to be removed.

Thanks guys... Another thing I noticed is on the driver's side, only the tweeter works. I'm thinking either they're blown or it's an amp problem. Any ideas?

Do I have to take the whole door panel off to test the speakers?
