I searched online and could not find any service manuals or help for replacing the headlight bulbs on my 1998 Lexus LS400. I just kept trying things and think I have it figured out.
I'm working on the driver side - so I had to remove the battery. For the highbeam, you need to hold down the tab and pull the electical connection straight back. They twist the tan colored cover to the right until it stops, then carefully pull back. There is another electrical connector inside. Remove than, then twist the bulb to the right and pull it out.
For the low beam (again with the batter removed), you'll be working around the windshield fluid filler tube. Twist that tan colored cap to the right until it stops, then pull back and off (no electical connections yet). Next, you'll need to remove a metal cover by pressing tabs on both sides - it should fall off. Then grab the electibal connector and carefully twist right until it stops, then pull back. The bulb should remain, held in place by two retaining wires. Push those down and in towards the bulb. I had to work those wires off as I pulled the bulb straight back and out.
BTW - the bulbs listed for purchase on AutoZone for my low beam weren't right. I'm now searching for the correct bulbs.
