I took a picture with my cell phone, I'll have to upload it later. But my right headlight has like a purple tinge when it turns on. My dash also shows the light that something is wrong with the headlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Yep, when the bulb turns that color it's worn out. You might want to consider replacing both to get the original 4300K color temp. If you look at the back of the headlight you should see a gray disk with some ears on it to grip for turning. Turn that disk just a few degrees clockwise if you are standing in front of the car and that cover should pop right off. I believe it's sealed by a rubber o ring. Once you have that off, you can see how to unplug the bulb and replace. There are some wire clips holding the bulb in place. Pop those off and replace the bulb. Be careful not to touch the bulb surface with bare hands. Use cloth gloves or something to hold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffthomas Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Bak, Thanks, but I'm a little late on replacing both. I had the Lexus dealership install the one last night and it came out to like $550! I found this on EBAY and ordered it on Saturday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWNX%3AIT That should work, right? So i don't have to take the headlight off to get to the bulb, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yes that Philips bulb will work. I've used the same ones. No, you don't need to remove the whole healight to change bulbs. Have you even looked in there to see what I told you about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
