Before I begin id like to say I know I shouldn't have used a Lexus to do this but it was the only vehicle at home at the time. My dad need me to go to this small home improvement store to pick up one of those prefabricated cement steps and i got them to lift it with the fork lift and slowly slide it in but when it came time to take it out at the site we tried to take it out on our own and as soon as we got it out the end of the step touched the bumper and left what you see pictured above.

I know I promised pics yesterday evening of the SES chrome door handle cover installed on my RX, but I need more 3m tape then what was actually provided so it got too late to post pics last night, but here they are now. Forgive me. I know picture quality isn't great cuz they are taken with an iphone 4.

You have a list of all the leds you ordered from vleds? Probably gonna switch out all the bulbs inside my parents RX as well. As for the exterior leds, do they match the oem hids?

I don't have a list of the ones I used but I went with this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...white-led.html and there was another one that showed exactly which bulbs u need and how many but I can't seem to find it anymore. I followed the second thread I mentioned as I was able to find cheaper alternatives from vleds.com then the ones posted in the link.

Hi hybridlexy,

I have considered it but don't have that much saved up to spend on that mod. Plus I'm not so sure if it can be done. To me it seems like u would need the new bumper cover and headlights but wiring up those headlights is the only thing I'm confused about. Hopefully Sewell Lexus will come out with a kit for our RX like they did for the IS owners that wanted the LED headlights from the 2011+ models. They came out with a simple plug and play and I've seen people install them. They work fine.

Updated my hid fogs from 4700k down to 4300k and they match very well with the headlight HID's. Used morimoto bulbs. Pics to follow.

Also stopped by the dealership today to get a routine check up and a rattle when I close the passenger front door fixed and it turns out I need more then just that fixed/replaced. They found parts of my rear suspension to be messed up. They are replacing either the shocks or springs. Idk remember what the SA told me, Also they found that my side mirror is causing the rattle when I close my passenger door and are replacing the whole thing. Glad I came in when I did, cuz I only have less then a 100 miles before my bumper to bumper warranty expires.

When you put on the chrome handle covers, is the sensor still working when you touch the cover? I touch once in my lifetime but just asking also where did you buy them? Thanks
