Just wonder where you buy your alternator regulator or parts? Thanks

This is for an '06, IIRC the earlier models use a different part...
The regulator is built-in not a separate component.

I've bought parts off of eBay with mixed results. I also bought parts from a local starter/alternator rebuild shop and had much better luck.

Voltage regulators are available and replaceable separately. It's not a Lexus service part but you can get them elsewhere.

Here's a thread I made on rebuilding the alternatorhttps://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...r-rebuild.html
The one I rebuilt is the same for '04-'06. It uses a 4-pin voltage regulator. '01-03 use a 3-pin.
