boostedis300 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 i think my little lights in the headlight are burned out. how can i replace them?
brosnibean Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 i think my little lights in the headlight are burned out. how can i replace them? pop the hood and you can see the connection on the back of the headlight....rotate the plug counter-clockwise (i think, hey, i hava a 50/50 shot here) and it will pull out...replace bulb and stick it back in and you are done..... check lexus buld reference guide for the correct bulb.....you are looking for the parking light 168 ps - these are the parking lights, so check to make sure they are really burned out before replacing (since you said "i think" they are burned out) pss - i stole the link from here

ANYONE????? :( move the lights switch (on the turn signal arm) to the off position, the first setting/click up is the parking lights...they should come on then, but with standard bulbs you will have to bend over to see them, they are not bright at all....if they are not on then replace the bulbs and work from there..... this is all in your owner's manual
boostedis300 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 thanks man, the problem was that the lights were burned out... i bought normal replacement lights. thanks again.

"
Lexus2D Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Iv got LED in mine & have had no problems ;) its the indicators that dont blink correct but that cab be corrected ;) I did mine & im a Girl lol Iv got LED`s all over my Lex
IndyKen Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Me too. Mine also said don't use them in a heated housing but no problems ever. They are just CTA so they don't have to replace a 3 cent item which they charge a few bucks for.

brosnibean Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 What color bulbs did you use. White or blue? white... the "don't use in the heated housing blah blah blah" is a total CYA move...standard fare for after-market parts...like the "for off-road use only" statements....i would love see the donkey that puts a set of headers on his/her IS and takes it off-road....

Uh, race track is off road.
