My is250 has been having a few electrical problems over the last couple of months.....it started off with one of my led dome light bulbs flickering, i flixed that by just removing it..i had led mirrors installed and shortly after my passenger side stopped working, i cant even say when, but my trunk light no longer works, my fog light on my passenger side is gone now, and yesterday my passenger side headlight HID went out...all the problems seem to be on the passenger side?? i need help..do i need a relay kit, converters?? I have subs, could that cause all of these things to go out??

Has the car been in a wreck? There is nothing common to all the problems you are having so it would seem the wiring harness was damaged.
What aftermarket electrical items do you have besides bulbs you've swapped out?
Are your HIDs OEM Lexus or aftermarket?
Do you not have warranty coverage?

Anybody been drilling near a wiring harness?
Seriously, with all the stuff you've done, it doesn't surprise me you're having issues. If its wired anything like some of the stuff I've seen aftermarket installers do, there's a reason your warranty won't cover the repairs.

the HIDs are oem, the LED mirrors were wired professionally, the fogs are nokya and was just a bulb swap, and the subs were installed by best buy,, i didnt do much more than most other guys on CL

are you sure there aren't any really chill lexus technicians at your dealership?
there's one technician i always go to at lexus, he's pretty chill, he's a car enthusiast, etc.
it matters who you go to. that's why i made sure to try and build a great rapport with one of the technicians (and i always request him when doing services, etc.)

'professional'... thats a word that is thrown around quite liberally at times... i've seen some 'professional' jobs that are anything but professional...
example of a 'professional' pager alarm/remote start setup from a reputable well known shop who guarantee's their work:

after the zip ties were cut:

NOW... is that 'professional'?
after 8hrs and a complete reinstall REV-01 turned it into this:

It is important to ask other CL members in your region who they trust with their cars.

i went to my dealership, they didnt really give me any trouble, apparently the problem was that the HID melted the computer unit connected to it, or something, the rep tried explaining it...is that a factory problem or something i may have caused due to the other things i have?
