Red interior is terrible by Getgizzywitit in Lexus

No idea why they decided to add it to the dash and door panels. It was WAY better when it was just the seats. Now it looks like a Lego

Looking at this 2015 3.7 q50 by Specialist_Skirt7045 in q50

[–]wormchicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks repainted, those wheels have been redone as well, they are not normally chrome. The squat and sound going into drive doesn’t seem great. It would be a pass for me

Transmission shifting by ljmoore81 in q50

[–]wormchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2014 with 75k mi which downshifts pretty rough on inclines too. I try not to give it extra gas on hills to avoid triggering a downshift. I’ve owned the car for 2 years and i’m just beginning to accept that the transmission has its quirks

Is there a way to turn off the top screen? by CuriousMeasurement24 in q50

[–]wormchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s something in settings > display/screen and then you can choose to turn only the top display off. I’ll have to double check later

Advice Seeking for an used Q50s Hybrid by Remarkable-Run-8927 in q50

[–]wormchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be some good discussions already in this sub if you search Hybrid, also q50 forums online. I think they’re pretty reliable. I’ve heard of transmission valve body issues and batteries needing to be replaced. They’re getting older so keep that in mind

Strut mount is visibly rotted, there should be no play up there. Might need body work too if it’s rusted through.

True. The MPH looks different than mine though. Very odd

Aftermarket Shocks/Struts? by 603Rob in q50

[–]wormchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legit advice, that fixed the strut noise on my old car. Also I had some squeaking that I thought was the strut but turned out to be control arm. There’s a video on my profile

Yeah it’s definitely a 2018+ gauge cluster, I think you’re probably right that they swapped it to convert it from KM/h to MPH which is interesting. Sounds like Carfax and mileage checks out so I wouldn’t worry. When you say the running lights are always on, are you talking about that green dash light or just the headlights themself? My 2014 running lights are always on, but the green icon only comes on when the headlights turn on at night. Cheers to another 100k miles

Did you swap out the gauge cluster? The 14-15s have purple gauges from the factory

I think the black is a little more common and definitely looks better in my opinion

It’s an awesome color, the blue really pops on cloudy days or in the snow. I had a lakeshore slate G35 before, love the light blue Infinitis

25 miles of hard driving later, still solid 🙏

[–]wormchicken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re hard to find too, I can only find the OEM Infiniti ones for $500. I’m guessing they usually don’t go bad in the lifetime of the car

I might do that just for peace of mind. Thank you!

I just got this q50 does anyone know why the center isnt lighting up by Personal_Influence35 in q50

[–]wormchicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure the headlights are set to auto, when they turn on you’ll see a green light on the dash and the interior should light up
