I goggled the correct torque. It came up with several club lexus posts on this subject. Several people that responded to this question have used 76 lbs torque for their lug nuts. I do not know where they came up with this number. But never mind, looks like 103 is the answer. Thanks everyone for their help.

I am having a similar headlight problem, but my right headlight is not flickering or changing color. It comes on in the morning and when I get to work about an hour later it is out. Not sure when it goes out bc my commute is in the city. When I take it to the dealer they all look at me like I am crazy bc it is on. It use to work when I move the switch from auto to manual. But now it just goes out when it feels like. Is anyone else having this problem? My dealer does not want to change a "good" bulb. Is the bulb actually going bad or is it the switch?

Sounds like you are experiencing "end-of-life cycling" of one of your headlight lamps. This is a common phenomenon that occurs in all varieties of High Intensity Discharge lamps as they near the end of their life. In other words, your bulb is bad! HID bulbs have been employed extensively in US automobiles for more than 10 years and your dealer should recognize what is wrong simply by your description. They are either lightweights or they are giving you the runaround.
