Welcome to the forum. Good choice on a 95. I have two questions though. What size are your rims and tires and what suspension are you running?

Front 235/35/19, rear 245/35/19; I think it's 9" rim in front and 10" rim at the back..

For the suspension I have no idea what the hell did the previous owner install.. I checked it out, it's color blue for the shocks then black for the spring, what's weirding me out are the writing on the shocks, alot of chinese scriptures, I guess a fake one? I'll take a picture when I get a time..

Thanks brother! Welcome to you then! Well, finding this car took me 3 months before I finally settled with this.. Never really new where to start but I've really loved Lexus/Toyota but leaned towards Lexus since its luxury compared to Toyota.. But the day I found this car on craigslist, I looked at it the next, then the 3rd day I bought! Wham bam, thank you man! I've been happy since...

Do you have a exact number for how many T1.5x and x-HP's i need for the cluster? I want to order them this week without having to take the cluster out.

No problem man. Sorry for the late response. I've got a friend who just received his 55 watt HID kit from DDM Tuning a few days ago and he said they work great. He said they shipped directly from China and they were stuck in customs for a day or two. I'm guessing they are low on supplies here in the U.S.

Are those all just for the cluster or is that also for the climate control? I'm going to order some bulbs for my cluster today. Did you use the high power bulbs in your cluster or did you use the regular T1.5's?

I've heard you had to solder, but I thought it was for the needles. I'm not too sure though.

That's just for the cluster, and I just used the regular T1.5 cause if you use the high powered ones it will have major spotting since the backlight of the cluster isn't that good of a reflector.
And I've already bought for my fogs and headlights from DDM tuning and they work perfect! I love em! Mine's at the very end...

That's the difference between regular halogen bulbs and LED's; if what makes hallogen bulbs hard to handle is the fact that you can't touch the bulb itself, with LED's they have polarity that you need to figure out. What I did was pretty much trial and error, so I spent about 2hours in the car plugging and unplugging bulbs until I was able to make it work. But I believe there's a thread somewhere here that shows the polarity of the gauge cluster. Polarity meaning positive and negative pole.
