I don’t know what we would do without you.

Next question - Can you retrofit an old one that is dimming?

I haven't heard of anyone doing it but with some custom wiring should be doable. It won't be plug and play like your '11 was though.

As Acrad said, you will need to some wiring for that. The auto dim is controlled by rearview mirror sensor, the easiest way to do is to wire the two wires through the A-pillor and tap into the rearview mirror harness. I had harness wiring diagram for 2014 GX placed somewhere, but Acrad might be able to locate the diagram quicker, assume the harnesses still the same for 2020+

I guess the assumption is that the wire for the dimming function was removed from the passenger side for the 22. Do we have a way to confirm the wiring actually changed?

IMO: We will never have confirmation from Lexus... a '22 owner would have to take off the interior door panel to physically confirm

Maybe I’ll be the first. Need to get rid of the LC 200 first.

I just ordered the Curt hitch #13043 for my 2022 GX. Is this the one you ordered and was there any problems installing it ?

No issues with installing at all.
Yes, that’s the correct part number.

That's one of those colors, in the right light, looks amazing. In another light, looks like runny diarrhea. They have one down the road. I like my blue, but it's currently worth more than I paid, so....

I would like to make a suggestion for an easier install of the Curt hitch or for that matter any hitch. The Curt hitch with the top plate weighs somewhere around 10 lbs. I held it up with one hand while trying to get one bolt started with the other hand. The top plate had a tendency to slide around making getting the bolt hand started a pita. TIP use a jack to hold the hitch in place so you can use both hands to get that first bolt started. You don't won't to cross thread the bolt when you tighten it up. I didn't use a jack and I thought about it after I finished the install.

Lexus is building the Black Lines how they want to. They aren’t customizable as they’re only making a few thousand of them.

at one time those were the best. i still have them although i had to swap one out because the gx lapm housing got filled with water. theres a lot of discussion on bulbs in that thread. many arent good for continuous use: ones labeled canbus which have a dissipating resistor.
they shouldnt even call this canbus. theres nothing canbus about any of these.
