Hi Singaporeans
As some of you have talked about the white license plate light of the GS, well...I've found a light bulb that's the same spec as the one above the license plate and is in LED meaning that the light is white just like the Lexus GS
.?
But the problem is I put both in and it lights up but the computer shows a plate light failure for both lights
? I can't go back to the dealer to have this fix as this would for sure void my warranty.? Any suggestion.

When you said equal in specs, how do you mean? can you post the pics of the LED bulbs?
I suspect the LED you are using were drawing too low a current therefore triggering open circuit on the sensor. One way to resolve this is to add LED to increase the current draw.

For me it did! Darn! hate that feelings... and the V8 growls with enough bass and it rattles the balls after that drive home with tails between the legs and sulk to the wife.. I need V8! And she said "Go get yourself from the fridge".
"Honey, not the tomato juice drink.. , V8..V8 it comes with the car!"

Next time if you preplan a race, let me know. I come along and who knows? I might let you use the 545 for a race or 2; hey you're Lee and so am I.

with the GT kit u can hv 355 front wif 4 pot or 380 front with 8 pots! the 4 pots weigh in at 6kg for the rotors...the 380 rotors r 10.5kg! heavy stuff but wud u believe it...still lighter than stock. if i do it wil be the 355. pointless having 380...even the ferrari F50 doesnt hv such size for brakes. rears r 345 4pots only. 4 pots front + rear is about 10.3k....the 8pots add up to 11.7k.
ideally i wud prefer stop-techs...but they seem to take forever to develop for the E60s...n i found out only with 380 rotors...380 is really the size of a 15" rims!
