Well you don't have to go to 35v from 16v. You can do 20v, or 25v. And there are times
when going to opposite lead layout and putting some insulation over the leads as you
replace the cap will help the ugliness factor out. Don't forget there can be at least
2 good possibilities for these newer caps going bad. They skimped on the design and used
a 16v cap in a 16v circuit, leaving no margin. or the manufacturer of the caps skimped
and the caps really will not last at the 16v level. Also, if they skimped on the caps, they
most likely skimped on the more expensive parts too, and maybe some of them may not
be available when they fry, so don't outclass this thing with Lexus parts.... The rest of it
may not last....
