First time I found last night when in dark that I have 8 lights dead, front and rear. i need hlp for DIY, any inoput will be highly appreciated. I don'r know what these lights for but they are dead and i need to change them.

rear lights need to change: left side inside all three(3), left plate light(1)--- right side outside top (1)---all these lights are on the trunk lid.

Front lights need to change: upper Left side inside the yellow light (1), right side the outside one (1); lower right side outside(1).

maybe the description is not clear but that's all i can do.

my problem is: How To Get Into These Bulbs both Front and Rear? Is it Hard? Can I find the Bulbs in AutoZone for campatibility or I have to use Lexus Bulbs?

maybe a big job for me if it is too hard to reach these bulbs. to my common sense, i should be able to DIY, right? nit that Hi-tech to remove and replace :lol:

any input will be highly appeciated. btw, it 92 Ls 400 with 165k, cost $2450 buying in early August. I am trying to find out everything and fix everything adn this forum REALLY HELPS....A LOOOOOOOOOOT.

You guys enjoy your day, you have all my best wishes!

Hi,

For the bulb types you need have a look at this link

http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/lighting/

The trunk lid lights and license plate lights are accessed by removing the soundproofing inside the trunk lid there are some clips/plastic screws holding it in place which need to be carefully remove.

Once you have done this you can access the bulb holders and replace as required the license plate bulbs are a bit tricky as you have to reach inside the trunk frame and twist the bulb holders to release them.

To remove the front headlights/foglights first remove the indicator lense ( one screw on top after lifting hood up then give it a tug) looking where the indicator was you will see the side headlight securing screw remove this and the other 2 this should allow the complete unit to come out to replace the bulbs.

Good luck

thx buddy. i dismantled the back lights. i will say, it is not taht hard DIY。I rmoved four of them (matter of fact, it's six cuz the trunk lid 3-pack uses one bulb as i know now). i need to removed the fog light also. I removed the three bolts on it but it won;t come out. i will read the clue and do it tomorrow cuz it's dark now. FEEL REALLY GOOD WHEN YOU MAKE IT!!!
