Finally got around to installing the Street Guardian dash cam
https://www.amazon.com/Street-Guardian-SG9665GC-microSD-Supercapacitor/dp/B00U0OJMYG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498180719&sr=8-1&keywords=street+guardian https://www.amazon.com/Street-Guardian-SG9665GC-microSD-Supercapacitor/dp/B00U0OJMYG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498180719&sr=8-1&keywords=street+guardian
. Chose this one due to the great reviews on Amazon and dashcamtalk forums. Many thanks due to tecman https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-2nd-gen-2010-present/793431-dyi-dashcam-radar-detector-fusebox-wiring.html#post9138309 and katzer011 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-2nd-gen-2010-present/856911-gx-dash-cam.html for the write ups.

Yesterday, I installed a K&N air filter, and picked up the OEM crossbars from a local dealership. They were easy to install, but it was 118 yesterday and I wished more than anything that I had a garage. Not that lucky though, at least not yet.

I know this is new for you, any thoughts on the K&N filter?

Need some help is there any trick to remove the bulbs from the driver area dome, I tried using a flat head screw driver but it won't come off. There's not enough clearance and I'm 150lbs so I don't think I have fat fingers 😂 Was able to do the rest but the front one. Thanks

Do you mean the map domes and also the covers or the bulb extraction itself? If covers pry on the "sides" toward the windshield. Cover should drop straight down from this part. Don't pry cover on areas closest to you. This stands a great chance of breaking something. I pried on red dot area and they almost just fall out.

I used tape and wrapped around the bulb and pulled it out.

Tape sounds like a good tip... I used a tool on one side and finger to gently rock bulb a little bit and then they popped out.

Wrapping electric tape was a great idea came out like a charm. Next is the door bulbs. I know it's cheesy but has anyone put the Lexus logos ? 😁
