Thanks for viewing this video. There is also a part 2 as well. Don't forget to check it out.
There are some viewers commented that I did not need to unscrew to loosen the level that holds the light bulb down (time ~10:40). Just need to squeeze the two legs to unsecure it. Since that was my first change of the light bulb and there was no prior video on how to do this (hence I decided to post my own amateur video), what I showed was how I did it. But since I do not own this car anymore, I cannot verify other viewer suggested method. Hope someone can post a video on how to do that. For the rest of the viewers who left encouraging comments, "Thank You!!."

Thank you for this. I always look to youtube before starting something. This was very helpful. I do this on my prius, and it is a huge pain in the backside. This job requires more removal but lots more room.

your video was very helpful, the only thing you don't have to when pulling out the old bulb is don't unscrew the spring that holds the bulb. Only press the ends together push them in the bulb comes out. Out the new bulb in and turn counter clockwise until it's in place. Then squeeze the spring together and snap back in place.

Thank you sir for posting this video, now several years ago. Still relevant and helped figure out now to do this on my 2012 ES 350 (it has the exact same bulb setup).

Well now I’m definitely not doing this. Lots of work to change a bulb.

You DO NOT loosen the screw holding the spring in place. Instead at the spring ends opposite the screw you pinch them together and they will swing up and away, allowing easy replacement of the bulb. Pinch the spring ends to reinstall it in place.

@paulnaude01 7 жыл бұрын

I didn't try replacing the bulb yet. mine only turns off when I turn sharp right at speeds over 25kmph (15mph). since it's linked to turning, I don't think changing the bulb would help or will it?

Paul Naudé - its not the bulb. It's your ballast control module. You can buy a OEM ballast on Amazon or Ebay for $50-$80

You should be able to change the bulb without taking half of what you took out. Also the spring holding the bulg in is spring loaded . No need to unscrew , just pinch together and the spring should unclip from the bulb. Not the best wearing a white jacket when messing with the car.

@summerblue2703 3 жыл бұрын

You are welcome to post your video to better explain to the general public on how to do this. And thanks for the tip on the jacket. That jacket is my working jacket so i didn't care.

Too much work for a light bulb. I have an ES350. I am tempted to just remove all of the non essential covers in the engine compartment.

My lights come on and off sometimes how do I know if the bulb need replacement or the blaster

@summerblue2703 7 жыл бұрын

under what situation does the light come and go? when your car go through some vibration or shock such as from bumps or even the car is idle. did you check for any loose connection in the headlight?

According to manual/guide from Lexus, remove front bumper and disassemble headlight unit before replacing bulb. This is much easier way, I think.

@firnameweren5311 3 жыл бұрын

No...this guy made it 100x more difficult than is necessary. I literally just got done changing both of my bulbs on my 2007 Lexus GS350 and all you HAVE to do to access the bulb cover is take off the plastic side covers (don’t need to remove the middle cover). You don’t have to disconnect the battery and you don’t have to remove the air filter box when doing the passenger side. It will be a tight fit but unless you have huge hands it is doable. Take off the cap to the bulb area take off the ballast power supply by turning counter clockwise a little bit then unhook the springs holding in the bulb (do not unscrew anything in that area) then the bulb easily slides out and replace with new bulb and do everything I just said in reverse order. Drivers side the only difference is I did have to remove the one bolt holding down the windshield wiper fluid hose to get it out of the way other than that same exact process. Takes about 10-20 minutes to switch out both.

they make it hard intentionally so you will need to bring back to the dealer for it, just like everything else. Or else how do they charge you more money if it is easy to diy ?
