Hi, Does anyone have a ballpark cost to install heated seats and a quality leather interior in a 2002 Lexus ES 300?

The running headlights are out do you think, I also need high beamer bulbs?

A: IT may or may not need a screw driver, The running light and the high beam should be different, if they are then you change the running light which should only include a user level disconnection of the wire (pull it off) then turn the light bulb counter clockwise and pull out. refer to your owners manual. go to the closest auto zone and ask for help.

Q: I have a 1995 ES 300 Lexus, the air blows out cold in the am, and at night, but hot air when its hots outside?
I have a 1995 ES 300 Lexus, I had the A/C serviced recently but the air is still not working properly, had the freon put in and the dye, and in the mornings the airs blows out cool air, and in the evenings it blows out cool air, but when it gets hot outside the cool air stops blowing and then it starts blowing hot air. Please can you tell my what the problem may be?

A: You will need to get an expansion valve, the receiver dryer and the low side compressor hose. Back in `95, the low side hose would collapse and actually start to come apart from the inside and get stuck in the expansion valve. The dryer should always be replaced when any type of A/C work is done. I`m going to assume you have no leaks and the compressor is still good and the dye they put in did not reveal anything. This should help you, but in can be expensive. Make sure you find somebody competant. I do work on Lexus for a living. This was a common problem on your ES300. You are probably looking at 5.0 hours labor plus whatever the parts cost. Good Luck!

Q: Is it a bad idea to step down the Octane gas level for my 96 Lexus Es 300?
I've been using midgrade for the past 2 years. I always use chevron or shell to fill up, I've been under the impression that this would benefit my car in the long run, but is it even nessessary? Would it be okay to step down from midgrade gas to just regular?

A: You can use the lowest octane number that will not cause knocking and pinging (sounds that are very distinctive, and you'll know when it happens). Two of my sis-in-laws drive the LS400 class, and both use higher octanes, but I can't convince them to try lower octanes. What does it say in your owner's manual? If Toyota is recommending higher octanes, then you might have to keep with the higher octanes for warranty purposes. .

Q: What is the size of the speaker on the doors in a 1994 lexus es 300?

Q: Does anyone know where the linkage to the transmission is on a 1997 Lexus ES 300?

I DON"T KNOW WHERE THAT IS!!!!! Is there anyway I could find how the Lexus is put together on the internet? If not is there anyone that could help?

A: under your shifter

Q: What is a fair estimate for repairs to my '94 lexus ES 300?
Apparently I have a valve cover gasket leak and head gasket leak. What does that mean exactly? And why have I gotten estimates ranging from $650-$2000? If you are in the Atlanta area and do this knid of work please contact me!I really need some help here!

A: Lexus says it all. Some shops will just replace the gasket and some will do all the stuff that can go wrong later and cost you another labor charge. By the way, $2000 is about right for gaskets seal and valve adjustment, which all need to be done while the valve covers are off.

Q: I just change the battery of my Lexus 1994 ES 300 car, after changing the battery, the odometer change to 9999?
My car battery dies out, so I replace a new battery on my Lexus 1994 ES 300. After replace the new battery in my car. I turn on the engine and it work properly. But one thing I noticed is that my odometer change 999999999. Does anyone know how to reset it back to original mileage? My original mileage before was 113489.

A: My father had a 1992 ES300 from late 1991-1999 and he sold it because the computer blew (and it was kind of slow). The same thing happened to him. His odometer just snapped and simultaneously cut the value of the car in half (from $12,000 to $6000). He sold it to some teenager who didn't care about the mileage. Sorry.

Q: Maximum Tyre Size for 2002 Lexus ES 300 on 17 Inch Wheels?
I want to get the 5-spoke 17 inch wheels that are available on the Lexus IS and GS for my 2002 Lexus ES300. What's the maximum tyre size I can get to avoid clearance problems? Also what's the maximum tyre size recommended by Lexus?

A: I work at a Lexus dealer. I know of one customer who has a 2002 ES300 with 20 inch wheels on it, but I am not sure if he has a clearance issue. Replacing the tires with Lexus wheels shouldn't be a problem because they are balanced to work best with Lexus vehicles. If the vehicle is equipped with navigation, changing the wheel size could effect the accuracy of the navigation.

Q: How to change/replace spark plugs in Lexus ES 300 (2002) and where are they located?

Q: Does car alarm shut off ignition, on a Lexus ES 300?
My son's car needed a jump, he left the lights on his 1995 Lexus 300ES. As I hooked up the cables the alarm went off Because the keys weren't in the ignition, I think. I removed the cables and it stopped, inserted the key, and jumped it again. When we tried to start the car, everything worked (radio, headlights, etc.) but the ignition would not. If it is the alarm preventing it from starting, what is the cure?

A: if it has an alarm hook up the cables so the alarm goes off then deactivate it with the remote. if you dont have the remote then you need to take it to an alarm shop and get a remote programmed for it if they cant they will have to remove the alarm and you will need to get an aftermarket alarm for it but yea it wont start because the alarm was on. when you try to jump a car with an alarm even if you have the keys in the ignition the alarm will go off its a fail safe so noone can jump your car to hotwire it. but just do as i said jump it and disactivate the alarm with remote and it should turn over with ignition.
