I went to the dealer (Lexus of Warwick) this weekend to get an oil change and also have the DRLs turned off... long story short they told me there was no way to have the DRLs turned off. I told them that there most certainly was since numerous other IS-Fs have had the DRLs turned off and they continued to tell me there was not. Unfortunately, I do not know the process of turning them off so I could not put up much of a fight.

Does anyone know the actual process the dealer performs to turn off the DRLs so I can go back and let my dealer know?

Is there a dealer in the RI, MA, CT area that someone has gone to to have this done?

Thanks.

Had it done 2 weeks ago at Ray Catena Lexus in Larchmont. Went for an oil change and requested it be done and they had no issue with it.

Go to Toyota dealership instead. I know a service adviser at my local Toyota dealer so I got mine done for free in 2 mins. Ended up tipping the tech guy 10 bucks for coffee. They were all loving the F lol.

Typically, an original owner has 30 days from when he or she takes delivery to have LPS (Lexus Personalized Settings) changed. This is the time frame of when the dealer does a service inspection (1,000 mile mark). They don't have to perform it after that time frame. I know some dealers who have done so for the sake of customer service and retention, but it's not mandatory that they honor that request.

Toyota dealerships, as mr2envi mentioned, do turn them off too, so I would consider that option as well. Best of luck!

Or just buy the tech stream cable on eBay and do it yourself that's how I turned my DRL's off

Cruised with one of my buddies recently at night (Evil Teo) and I've seen his car at night, looks like his DRL's are off, but he told me he used an extremely tiny bulb, so it looks like they are off. I forgot what bulbs he told me he was using but it gets the job done. You may want to PM him regarding the bulb.

Too bad you're not close by. We can easily do that for you at our shop. Takes 5 minutes at the most. I shut my DRL's off.

It really depend on the dealership... the dealership where I got my car from (Lexus of Charleston, SC) won't help me turn it off due to 'safety' reason; maybe they worry about someone won't able to see my car in bright daylight...
and later on, Lexus of Mobile, AL helped me turn it off without any question

good luck with you my friend!

It really depends who you talk to. One person at my dealership said they couldn't do it and would have to remove the bulb . I came back the next day, and another guy took care of it himself within five minutes. I don't know why there seems to be such fuss over a simple procedure, with some of these dealers.

This appears to be the procedure for the IS, unless the F is doing something special:

does it allow you to program the tpms as well?

silverlexg

Yes - As far as I know.. here's a step by step on youtube. (never done it personally). You can also use it to program keys (again never done it personally but there are step by step videos on youtube using the software).
