My garage is dark until I get in the car and push the button to open the garage door. I of course don't lock the car when it's in my own garage, so can the puddle lights be set to come on whether the car is locked or unlocked?
View 7 RepliesThe puddle lights do not turn on at all on my 15 is 350 f sport. How do I get this function to work?
View 3 RepliesI drive a 2014 is250 F sport. My puddle lights don't turn on at all. It was to my understanding that the puddle lights are a standard feature of this car, yet it doesn't turn on.
View 4 RepliesOn a 2014 350, how hard is it to change out the puddle lights to LED's?

This AM I picked the car up and when I press the lock button, the doors DO lock but there is no longer a chime and the lights dont flash.
I've gone into settings and made sure that that setting is turned on and it appears fine but it still doesn't work like it did yesterday.
FWIW - the chime does sound for UNLOCK, just not lock.
This started yesterday. I parked the car, locked the door with the key in my pocket by pressing the button on the handle and the car beeped and locked. I came back that night and the puddle lights were still on. Figured it was a fluke, drove the car home and after being home for about 3 hours, looked out and noticed the puddle lights were still on. I tried locking and unlocking it, starting the car, everything. The lights never turned off.

They don't light up anymore...or did the fixture get changed to plain old reflectors?
I would like to install a Piezo beeper on my 2002 Prius to let me know when the car is locked or unlocked. I got it from another Toyota car, but want to put it in my Prius. I have tried in vain to find out which wire in the Body ECU or Theft Deterrent system will beep only when I unlock the doors, similar to G2 and G3 Prius.
In essence I would like to mimic the behaviour of newer Toyota's, I know it can do it because the car flashes its lights to let me know.
So today got in the car and drove to school as normal and parked in the garage locked the car and went my way. Came back to the car and usually when you unlock the car the puddle lights come on as well, the drivers side puddle light did not come on but the passengers side did.
-I have changed my puddle lights to LED
- it was raining pretty heavily during my commute this morning.
later on as I was going to take the mirror apart to check the bulb I tested it once more and the bulb was working again and its been fine since. very weird. What it could have been? could there possibly be water getting in the housing? I checked and everything seems pretty tightly sealed after putting the mirror back together and no condensation or anything inside from what I can see.
I would like to install puddle lights underneath the car...to come on when the door is opened. I came across this thread that shows these lights. There is apparently a rubber grommet in the driver's floorboard which can be used to snake the wire into the cabin. Where exactly is this rubber grommet on a 06 model? I tried to find it today but was unsuccessful.

View 1 RepliesShouldn't the puddle lights turn on when approaching the vehicle with the key fob? They will only come on if i unlock the vehicle with the fob. My lights come on with my 2008 ES350.
View 7 RepliesLooking for information as to which LED is the correct replacement to the factory bulb for the side mirrors on a 2014 IS250?
View 6 RepliesHow to remove the side mirrors to access the puddle lights underneath. I ordered some white HID Led replacement bulbs but not sure how to remove the side mirror.
View 14 RepliesI've looked in the owner's manual, but only find that they exist, no instructions on turning them on. I know I can unlock the doors with the key fob at night and the lights will come on, including the puddle lights on the bottoms of the rear view mirrors. If I touch the door handles instead of using the key fob (my preferred method of unlocking the vehicle), the doors unlock, but the puddle lights do not come on.
I would also like to be able to turn them on when I am getting ready to exit the car, especially so the wife does not step in a puddle.
when I locked my car the lights don't flash, can I do it myself or dealer
View 1 RepliesJust bought a CPO 2013 ES300h... when I lock the door using the remote the lights DO NOT FLASH. All other cars I've used have had this feature providing you feedback the car is locked. Is this normal?
View 11 RepliesI just saw a video of an IS350 and the mirrors folded in when it was parked and locked. The model was a hybrid, so I am not sure if that is a different option. I am looking at the IS 350 F Sport awd. Just curious what extras it will or could have.
View 5 RepliesI was driving along today and my dash lit up light a Christmas tree. I got PCS, ABS, Brake and BSM lights and I was locked out of first gear in manual mode. Other than the lights and having to driving in auto mode, the car drove fine. When I got home I inspected the rear suspension and saw that the driver's side speed sensor's rubber shielding where it attaches to control arm was damaged. It was not completely severed, but there was a hole and some exposed copper wiring. I had SPC rear control arms and RSR coilovers installed and the car was lowered about 1.3 inches in rear. I was able to use extra copper wire and electrical tape to temporarily fix the problem. After all the wires where connected and shielded with electrical tape, I got zero lights when I started the car.
I'm not sure how it happened. Maybe the wire was damaged during install or it was pinched due to car being lowered. Whatever the case, make sure the wire is secured in a way to avoid being pinched during suspension travel. I ordered the new wire and will attempt to replace. Looks pretty straight forward except the wire goes into the interior of the car somewhere. I read that I will have to remove rear seats. If so, that should be pretty easy. Is there something I'm missing? Will any of the rear interior need to be removed? How to do this?
Have started seeing an issue on my 2012 about few months already and the dealer could not even diagnose it because it is intermittent.
Sometimes when I arm the alarm, I can hear the actuators/solenoids cycle, but there is no single beep and the driver's door invariably remains unlocked. Repeated press of the arm button on the fob would not change, i.e. vehicle remains unarmed and driver's door remains unlocked. All the other doors are unaffected.
I can cycle through by pressing unlock once or twice, then the next relocking press would work. This is worrisome if I didn't pay attention to the beep and thought the vehicle is locked while in fact it was not, this could also happen when the vehicle is at the dealership as the porter would think pressing the button would have locked the vehicle.
2011 XLE, 54k on it. Drove to work last night, turn signals working fine. Came out in the morning, noticed the lights did not flash when I unlocked the door. Started up to drive home, noticed the turn signals not working, also emergency 4-ways not working. Found the 10 amp fuse, #19 blown, replaced, still no signals or 4-ways. Fuse is still good, I suspect to flasher/relay, but where is it?
Fuse panel under the dash mentions signals with clock & glove box light, but they are working and that fuse is good. I do have a hitch on the car with the electronic plug & play relay, but I unplugged that and plugged the stock harness back in, same problem, no turn signals or 4-ways.
