How do you replace the fog light on 2003 Lexus es300?

Answer 1

To replace the fog lamp bulb on a 2003 Lexus ES300 it is easier to remove the housing from front of car. Might be easier to jack this side of the car up for easier access. There is a bolt on one side and a clip on the other. Remove the bolt and pinch the prongs of the clip to release it. The housing should push forward out the front of the car. The back of the fog lamp has a round twist connector. Turn counter clockwise and it should come right off. Once open you will see a white wire connecting the round twist connector to the bulb. You can remove the bulb by finding the wire clamp holding it in place. Push down and in to remove the wire clamp from under the metal rung. Once the clamp is released the bulb should pull right out. Pull the the white wire out of the round twist connector and replace with new bulb. Pay attention to the round metal section under the new bulb. One side has round indentation and one is square. Be sure not to touch new bulb with bare fingers as it will reduce the life of the bulb. Use soft gloves. Line them up and it will go into housing flush. Push the clamp back down under the rung to hold in place and connect the wire to the round twist connector. Push round twist connector in aligning tabs and twist clockwise. Now push the housing back into front of car and clamp will secure automactically. Put the bolt back in and you should be good to go.
