Procedure for replacing low beam headlamp bulb on Lexus is300?

Answer 1

The low beam bulb is an HID bulb. High Intensity Discharge. That means it is hot as hell! So don't touch it if your lights were just on. That being said, there is a white circular cap that has fan ridges on it. It is about the size of a sausage patty from mcdonalds. Haha. Anyway unscrew it and you will see the back of the headlight there is a spring clip that you have to move the end of the wire on both sides for the actual bulb to be released. pull the bulb out and replace it. It is a very hard area to access if you have big hands and the bulb must be in correctly or it will pop out. I had a friend who did it incorrectly and the bulb touched the plastic on his windshield wiper reservoir. Burning up the wire harness and reservoir. Be careful. Bulbs are ridiculous from the dealer. two hundred dollars a piece by on ebay.
