09 ES350 Mods List
 
So little by little I've been adding to my 09 ES350. I started with lights. I put in bright white HID headlights and fog lights.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...c2b3bfe78e.jpg

I put in some very bright white LED reverse lights

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...73288dfccd.jpg

I put in orange LED turn signals

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...095675029c.jpg

Because I switched to LED I had to install a new turn signal flasher. One that would support LEDs otherwise they would hyperflash.

The tail lights, brake lights, and license plate lights I left alone. Well actually I did try LEDs for the brake and tail lights but then the light comes on in the dash that tells there's a brake or tail light out so I just went back to stock.
The third brake light and the license plate lights were already LEDs so they look great.

I put in the Lexus projection ghost lights in all four doors so it shines Lexus on the ground when you open the doors.

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...9bdc4d982c.png

I put in neon blue LED Lexus illuminated scuff plates.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...a407e8590f.jpg

I put in 2 - 12" neon blue LED strips for the footwell lights.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...3b4ec4cc92.jpg


https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...7e83e0bbb2.jpg


I added a neon blue LED shifter knob.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...6efd1c67b4.jpg

LEDs in the mirrors.

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...97e02ba590.jpg

Bright white LEDs in the center console and glove box.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...d8a53e42ac.jpg


https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...057ce5fb6e.jpg


Then came the stereo. I got a Kenwood 7" touchscreen with all the bells and whistles.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...08268bbac3.jpg


https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...955d2b7190.jpg



The amp and 12" subs in the trunk. I also put in a 12" neon blue LED strip in place of the trunk light.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...abc62490fd.jpg



I put on some Gunmetal Grey 7 spoke rims on Michelin tires.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...9b7df15ef1.jpg



https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...f6b78edc92.jpg



I think I'm tinting the windows next.

Any other ideas ?

Did you have NAV to begin with or did you use an aftermarket dash kit?

I did not have navigation to begin with

Can you post the site of where you bought the new flasher relay for your turn signals?

You could add resistors to the brake lights to get them not to throw a code too...

I liked the glowing gear shaft and Lexus glowing logo

Is there a site i can order those?

Mattstermh 07-06-15 06:58 AM

I love it. What do you think ?

Something I forgot to put in my original post. I put LEDs in my side mirror puddle lights.

Gotta say that those side view mirrors with the lighting are pretty cool. I just got mine tinted too. It really helped tone down the cashmere interior which was just a little too cashmere for me lol. Really made a difference.

If you still have your oem wheels, you can get them powder coated any color you desire for around $500. I just got mine done but went a little too dark when trying to match the liquid graphite color. Lesson learned- order a free swatch before you get work done.

The shifter knob I ordered from Amazon.
The Lexus illuminated scuff plates also called door sills was the only thing I didn't get off Amazon. I ordered them from AliExpress.

How hard was the install?

Nutsplats 07-08-15 12:09 AM

Puddle Lights Install
 
Angle the mirror all the way up and with a little force pull the bottom half of the mirror out of the clips holding it in. Then slide the mirror down and out of the hooks holding the top half of the mirror in.


https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...e6588d29c2.jpg


https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...d8d1a066bb.jpg

With a Phillips head screw driver take out the 4 screws holding the 2 halves of the mirror together.


https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...632c54964b.jpg

Separate the 2 halves of the mirror


https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...72370e5ffc.jpg


https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...a622358317.jpg

Disconnect the connector for the puddle light.


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...c9a68bcfa2.jpg

Slide the light assembly out the bottom.


https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...2c85b14366.jpg

Twist out the bulb socket and put your LED in.


https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...13c4e00714.jpg

Go in reverse order to put it back together.

Once you get to putting the glass back in slide the top of the mirror into the hooks on the back side and with some force pop the bottom half of the mirror back into place.


https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...c8fb3ba560.jpg

This is the back side of the mirror.

Hope this helps.

How do I install a new shifter knob like the one you have? I need a new one because the old owner destroyed my current one with cig buds.
