I wonder in Euro if the kids add amber to their corner lights to look like Americans. Just a thought.

^^ Lexus' are for EU ballers'.

And most of them either came as USA imports, and if you are made of money you can afford to buy a true EDM Lexus. Then again all the Lexus' in EU spec have the amber... not all clear like the JDM versions.

Check the 'windom hot pics' thread, i posted hundreds of images and the Japanese add amber to their corners to replicate ours or actually take the lens and retrofit it onto their corner lights

dcapo

i had the same problem even after i changed my alternator.
found out it was the bulbs. i had 194's, did a lil research and found out the bulbs are supposed to be 168's...
194's rated at 2w
168's rated at 3w

i think i payed $3.00 for the pair.
i tried leds but got the lights out warning because of the low power consumption, so i went with the 168's...no more warning

i found some better specs for the bulbs....
168 bulb specifications:
amp/watt: .35A / 4.9W
lumens: MSCP:3 (candle power)

194 bulb specifications:
amp/watt: .27A / 3.78W
lumens: MSCP:2 (candle power)

158 bulb specifications:
amp/watt: .24A / 3.36W
lumens: MSCP:2 (candle power)

161 bulb specifications:
amp/watt: .19A / 2.66W
lumens: MSCP:1 (candle power)

ok cool. good luck... the alternator will def stop the flickering....and replacing the mismatched bulbs will stop the lights out warning...
