Just make sure you do it when the RX is dirty

About the only thing I would have liked to add to my special order were the folding mirrors. But I knew I couldn't get the luxury and sport packages together. Maybe somewhere down the line it can be added. In the meantime I'm enjoying the illuminated sills and other things I've done to my 450h
Anita, you give me hope! There's no button for it, but tonight I'll try the wiper stalk and see if they're there. I still suspect not, though I can't explain why some cars would have it and others don't. Hmmmm...

I just ordered the all weather front/back and cargo mats, plus the hybrid drive sticker for the back window I can't bring myself to pay for the illuminated sill add-on, though the seed has been planted, so we'll see.

I also had to order a little can of touch up paint because I backed into a blackberry patch and have a small but deep scratch on my rear bumper

^^ What color, blue or white?

My installer has someone that could probably fabricate rear illuminated sills. But I'm sure it would cost a fortune. I'd have to buy another set of illuminated sills to start out with. Ah, no thank you.

Erica, since you have the two little raised boxes in front of the headlight, go ahead and pull one of them up by tucking your nail under it. See if there is a nozzle. I wonder if Lexus was doing some cost savings and made all bumper with the raised patches so that they only need to make 1 design

No, only bumps on mine are the parking sensors.

Well, I have squares that don't open, and no sprayers when I use the windshield sprayer stalk. SIGH. Don't have 'em. I'll live. Dealer says they can't install them later - must be done at the factory.

Erica, I rarely use the headlight washers myself. Maybe in the winter when it's salty. Most of the times it's by accident. I go to clear the windshield and they come on because I have the headlights on. I always worry one of these times I'll break them. Believe me, you're not missing much.

you mean headlight washers? lol

Yeah people you are not missing much. I hate the headlight washer because the overspray is ridiculous. It gets all foamy over the hood and everything.

I also realize there is a typo on the Lexus website regarding the headlight washers. It says that it is part of the luxury package, but that you can also get them if you get LED headlights. Since i have both, I wonder if I paid for both. lol
