Yup, that's very common unfortunately. It happened all the time in my DDM Tuning Slim Kit I put in myself (drivers side). I was about to return the ballast, but they told me to first trouble shoot to confirm it's not a bulb. So I kept the bulbs in, but swapped the 2 ballasts. Ever since I did that, the problem went away...I think I just got lucky somehow.

Thanks, I'm tempted. But I'm enjoying the suspense in some strange way. I check out every gray car and wonder if that's what mine will look like. Mistake or not, I'm committed. Changing again would be too fickle.

Cool beans. I know exactly what you mean. In fact, I was in the same shoe like you couple weeks ago.

Once you get your car, we can have a get together if you want to.

Does the nebula gray pearl have a lot of metallic in it? That was what sold me on the color card. Does it come through on the car?

DarienlIm - bummer you are getting occasioanl misfires. Jimmyc13- it is great your misfire problem went away with DDM: I never could get mine to go away with my DDM HIDs.. Replaced DDM with Kensun HIDs and the misfire problem is history.

Darienlim - $125 install; nice price. Since you have a 3 year warranty I would take it back to your installer. I would ask him the brand; it could easliy be DDM which costs about half the $125 to purchase. if so maybe he needs to try another brand.... IMHO even an occasional misfire is UNACCEPTABLE!

By the way your car looks awesome!

In every recent Lexus vehicle I've driven, if you leave the mirror adjustment to either the left or the right side, it should lower the mirrors when you shift into reverse. I suppose it is possible they left this feature out on the CTh. Hopefully they didn't though! Gorgeous car, btw

Unfortunately this CT doesn't equipped with that wonderful feature. I think only the ones that are equipped with memory seats/ leather package might have this feature.

That feature is on the premium package with the navigation, leather, pre-collision system.

Btw, congratulations Darienlim on your CTh F-Sport SE!
