Interestingly I am sitting in parking lot facing a storefront on the phone.

Playing with my lights I noticed that the top lights do not work regardless of what I did.................I felt like a dumbo since I have owned this SC since 2002 and this is the first time I noticed it.
I hit the manual and lo and behold there is nothing I could find about them either.

Anyone have an idea of the lights function or what they were intended to be or do...............might be a special config for Canada or Japan.

 

which lights are you talking about? the only thing i can think you might be talking about is the dome light. it works fine on mine.

 

The upper headlight unit at the 12 position in the cluster........You mean you dome light does not work ??

 

last position on stalk?

Auto lights on when it gets dark and off when its light.

 

Ah, guess I did this in the daytime , will play with it at night.......thanks Aquanuke..........spend too much time driving and too little time playing.

Maybe in 10 years more I will get it all down.

 

Theres a little sensor on top of dash that detects the light conditions as well

 

Hope this is for U.S. cars as well and not just a U.K. thing.........

Next trip to London I have to see the RH drive version.........

Cheers.

 

Im pretty sure this is the same in US. One of the others will have to chime in.

 

Like a moron I left Lexus with my Tech laughing.........the lights are my directionals............duh.

Not that I ever look at them up there..............all the other cars have them on the bumper......not the top headlight area.

Mystery solved.

 

+1, it's that way on all Lexus models, just a headsup if you trade

 

Trom- Its one of those things one just takes for granted and even in 7 years of ownership I did not pay attention to.

 

That's okay...I just discovered after three years that the little silver button by the shifter and the heated seats was a coin tray opener! I wonder if we polled this how many CL SC430 owners really know that? It's kind of cool. I felt like I had discovered a new feature...like belly button lint!

 

LMAO @ belly button lint.
