Ok, I just helped a friend change the xenon bulb in his 98 ls400. The info here helped tremendously. I must emphasize that you DO have to pull STRAIGHT foward, with a bit of force, as already stated. It almost seems like you shouldnt be pulling that hard, and it does feel as though there is still a screw still securing the lens. But there is only one screw and the lens WILL release with enough pressure. Just watch that top tab!
