In a 1999 Lexus GS 400, the emergency trunk release is typically located inside the vehicle, on the driver's side. You can find it near the driver's seat, either on the floor near the left side or on the side of the trunk lid itself. If the trunk is locked or the electronic release isn't working, pulling this lever will manually release the trunk latch. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific details and illustrations.
To open the trunk of a Lexus LS 430 without a key, you can try using the manual trunk release located inside the vehicle, usually near the driver's seat. If that’s not an option, you can access the trunk through the back seat by folding down the rear seats if they have a pass-through feature. If these methods fail, contacting a locksmith or a Lexus dealership for assistance is advisable.

Along the rear of the inside of the trunk there are four small bolts which need to be removed. Once removed, you will be able to push out the outer plastic cover holdind the light bulbs and wiring. From there, you can easily remove and replace the bulbs.
I recently had to replace the trunk light in my '97 ES300. If you just need the bulb, it's NOT replacement #194 that Walmart, Advanced Auto and others list. You need a 12V, 3 Watt bulb that looks like a fuse. I finally had to buy mine from our local Lexus dealer. Pop open the light cover with a screwdriver and carefully pull out the bulb. Try this first because it's probably only the bulb that is bad.

In a Lexus LS400, the fuse responsible for the trunk and gas door release is typically located in the fuse box under the dashboard. Specifically, it's usually labeled as "TRUNK" or "FUEL" in the fuse diagram. It's important to consult the owner's manual for the exact location and specifications, as there can be variations depending on the model year. If the fuse is blown, replacing it should restore functionality to both the trunk and gas door.
