Question New Lexus Owner...help?! (99 ES300)

Hello everyone, 2nd post here (noob) so be nice.

Just picked up a two toned pearl white/tan smoke grey something color....99 ES300 (coach edition?) from my fiancee's aunt. She's at 126k miles, just smogged her and about to register her this wk.

Some problems I've encountered:

clock doesnt show any time, probably just a fuse or bulb?

Not sure If there are fog lights on the car, given I just got it last night, so didn't have time to go over anything yet, but if there is, where is the switch? LOL

Yea silly question I know, BUT I dont have an owners manual, so if anyone knows where I can download one online (PDF?) that would be great!

as far as plans, havent really encountered a nice body kit for the car, not sure if there is one that looks good, since I viewed the gallery/forum on the kits availabe and they didn't really suite my taste.

Anyway those are the only things I've had troulbe with so far, I'm sure there will be more once I get to pick it things on my free time.

cheers!

The fog light switch is on the turn signal stalk.

Thanks for the link, found some interesting things about the car...It says to set the car to overdrive to increase MPG, I always thoguht this was the other way around....wierd...anyway does anyone know how to fix the clock?

Also, one of the remotes that came w/ the car is dead....how to replace battery, or rather which type of battery is it?

It's hard to say but I'd first start by checking all of your fuses.

Yea ditto on what everyone else said and WELCOME TO CL . Post up some pics of your ride we all love pics here. Now as far as body kits if you get familiar with the search tool you will find that memoryfab and L-tunedparts have some nice kits but they are not cheap in any way.
