Finally bit the bullet and got an IS-F after drooling over all yours here on the forum. Sold my 2003 M3, which was a great car. I must say, the IS-F is exceptional. FINALLY Lexus has delivered a high performance car.

So I'm going to fire away with 2 questions. 1) Has anyone figured out a workaround to load the iPhone Phonebook yet? 2) Has anyone changed out their Fog and/or Daytime Running Lights yet that can tell me how hard/easy it is? I was hoping to go for a whiter look on both sets. Thanks!

Haven't shot too many photos yet, but I did snap this one last night.

congrats and a very nice picture and my 2nd favorite color. Its a pain to change out the DRL's you have to remove the entire headlight assembly...

Welcome and congrats on your purchase!! Great color you picked up

As for the Fog Lights, the first link below is a DIY for them, its not very hard. The parking lights, they are a little harder as you have to work around the stock air intake box if you want to install them in the right side of the car. The second link below will help you out with those. Both have guides to help you pick out the right type of bulb for replacement as well.

Thanks All,

Big Mike!! You are a hero! Thanks for the link to change the bulbs out!!

I'll take a few more photos after I get that "mod" done.
It's a pleasure to a co-owner with you all.

Congrats on the new car! About your first question, there is NO way to transfer the phonebook from an iPhone, not even one contact at a time. I had to enter the most important ones manually.
