Okay guys, please could you post your pictures of your Alphards as I am just looking for some 18 inch alloys. I like the Ame Shallen alloys which I think really suit the Alphard and I know euroline works and zauber do similar alloys after reading a thread on here but just looking for ideas.

Haven't been able to identify the plug concerned for the fog lights, had my multimeter out. Doesn't help having a 3 year old running around the car pretending to cast spells on you either. Anyway took some trim off down the right side and realised I can do a neat install with one of the sidelights on the boot lid so do that tomorrow evening. I am guessing that is legal? Having a sidelight that you can switch to a foglight?

This job is actually very easy, it actually comes down to one strut/stay at the back of the inlet manifold that really spoils the job. Can get an open ended spanner on it but was so tight I just could not get it off. Removed the strut in the end, which also has a P clip attached to the strut which holds a pipe. Once removed it's a doddle, if anyone needs help with this just let me know.

Has any nut case like me tried changing the spark plugs, well the ones on the rear bank on a 3.0 V6? Just done a couple of hours taking the intake manifold off as I can't change them with it on. It's a bit of an arse, got 3 struts on the back of the manifold, well 2, one is on the throttle body. One with the 12mm bolt won't come out, feels like I'm going to crack the plastic🤦‍♂️ either going to take it off at the block or chop it. Used to have a Celica gt4 import that I rebuilt the engine on, reminded me of that as I think that had 2 struts on, left them off in the end.

Yeah I read that thread, should be doing it over the weekend. Just currently doing a service on it in the evenings, just got the oil filter and rear bank of plugs to change. So once I hook up a switch is there a vacant plug from the loom in the tail light for a fog I guess is what I am asking? If there is, just saves me running any daft wires down the car. Think I am getting a bit mixed up as I know you said there is a loom in the door but not sure if it carries on to the rear lights. Really happy with the car though, probably needs a respray on the bumper due to scuffs and a touch up pen but it still baffles me how, for an 06 car they keep the under sides in such good condition, salt or no salt.

Gen 1 facelift, yeah I've read some of Chris's posts. If I can't find anything I will just make my own circuit up.

Thanks! Was going to leave reflectors, like I said was going down the reverse light or side light route but just not sure if there is an existing loom for the foglight in place or whether I will need to run wires from the front dash to rear lights.

Right guys, just want some advice, read the threads about foglights on here but still not 100%. As you can see, button is going in the usual place but what I want to know is do I need to make my own circuit up as in run wires through the roof or can I tap into an oem loom that has been made for the fogs? I was going to use a reverse light location but I saw someone mention the right hand side light has the connector for the foglight in? Cheers Mike
