This is one of the easiest fixes you can do on your lexus...all thats needed is just unscrew the canisters' holding the lightbulbs, they look like dome fixtures encasing the HID lights...once you unscrew those, the bulbs are held in place by simple snap components that actually hold the lights in place...pull the old lamps out...unplug them, and then reverse this procedure....it took me all of 15 minutes, and a savings of $1000 to do this...

Take your radio out, and take to a car radio repair shop.

the radio has 2 positions when "on" normal and key.if you press the on button when engine runs to turn on the radio it should go off when key removed...(its fitted so your passenger has music when your not in the car......key removed)

This is a common problem
Lysol will get rid of the smell for you. You can purchase the liquid form and pour it into the evaporator case. You will need to disconnect an item to pour it in or drill a hole to do it. I would recommend removing the resistor plate
