Some questions
Hello, i have a lexus ls 400 from 1995. Incredible car and engine, but i have a couple of questions.
I have the orange signal lights in the bumper, where can i get the white ones? I see only for 89-94 model on ebay.
What is the best tire pressure with the original wheels (16", 225 tires)?
Is it normal that the pedal for gas is a little hard? If i want to press it fully (which is almost never needed ) i have to press it pretty hard.
Is it really that difficult to change the timing belt on the V8 engine, if you have experience with changing timing belts on other cars?
How do i change the light bulb in the front signal lights?
Thank you for answering the questions. I have been a BMW driver for a long time but this really surprised me hope it will keep on going.

ebay has those lights. for all years.
To change the light, you can go from underneath the bumper or you take the screw out of the corner light, remove that, then the blinker assembly can be pulled out too.

Welcome to Club Lexus and congrats on your LS400/Celsior.
eBay for the clear bumper corner lights. Just to note that these may or may not pass vehicle inspections depending on your vehicle equipment laws. For stateside people, these lenses cost about $50.
Tire pressure varies on manufacturer recommended and what you feel is comfortable. I would suggest trying 32-36#'s.
Gas pedal has a light-medium feel but I've mainly driven Toyota so I cannot comment how other cars feel. I don't fell it takes a lot of pressure.
The timing belt is an involved process. This FAq will answer many questions and link to common discussions:

Hello,
Yes in Holland you may use white corner lights, as long as the bulb is orange.
I now have 2.0 bar in the tires (which google says is 29 psi) so it has to be a little more you say. I also think 29 is a little too low, because it looks a little like the tires are flat :P
Ok strange on the gas pedal then but i don't care, don't need to step hard on it to move with other traffic.

you can run up to 35 psi if you want to give up some ride quality and wet braking distance for some additional fuel mileage
I also think 29 is a little too low, because it looks a little like the tires are flat :P
