If you wanted a Lexus vehicle with an oil pressure gauge, your only choice is a Lexus LX470. It has an oil pressure, water temperature and a voltmeter.
But then you will not have a power rear liftgate. It would be nice, but there isn't a perfect vehicle made.

The headlight issue with this car is very real. My RX330 came from the factory with the low-beam of the hids aimed so low it was totally unsafe to drive after dark. The very next day I returned to the dealer and they re-aimed the lights to the top of the specs. and I've had no further problem.

I may be able to help you on item #2. I have a copy in PDF format of Lexus Personal Settings for RX330. Let me know if you'd like to have a copy. Enjoy you Lexus.

These settings change a little from year to year.

I had the list for the '06 when I got my used '04 a few months ago, and some of the '06 settings were not available on the '04. (EG: I must have at least 2 beeps when the rear door is opened or closed by the motor -- I have no kids at home, so I would prefer none, but that is not available on the '04, but is on the '06 and probably the '07. If you want, of course, you can have the damn thing beep FIVE time, if you can stand it. Also, on the '04 you cannot open the rear door by remote unless the side doors are unlocked first; on the '06 you can set the rear door to open witout having to do that first step.) The point is that the '06 list might be short a feature or two, so we should try to get somebody here to post the personal settings (C-Best, to the old-timers here) for the '07, so those of us with older cars can see what we are missing and so those with newer cars know what options are available.

Since the dealers are supposed to give you the list of features with sub-lists of the various settings available for each feature, someone should have it.

only thing I dont get is that you cant use high beams "on dark lonely road" because of the oncoming traffice? Sorry but what? You turn them on, when traffic comes, off, and then back on again.

Unfortunatly there are laws about intensity of the lights...

Thanks for the offer but I have the setting info for the 06 330. It's different from the 07.

I guess it's a personal thing. Where we live the turns are sharp, come up quick, and there are drop offs which hide the lights of oncomng vehicles. I never liked driving into high beams even for a second or two. But your assumption is correct - we drive with the highs on and watch diligently so we can cancel them ASAP.

BTW
The Seat Position Memory WAS FAULTY. Upon digging into that I found a wiring problem. This makes sense now. I can adjust the seats BEFORE getting into the vehicle.
