Thanks! yeah don't touch the new bulb with your bare hands. Wear rubber gloves if you want. The oils on your hand will cause the bulb to heat up more than it should and it'll go out. My Hyundai XG300 (don't buy it, lol) burnt through the bulbs like nothing and I realized it was because I kept touching the bulbs. Yeah I didn't think of the up/down position either, so just listen to what the above said... in the direction of the bulb As for resetting the clip...if the bulb looks straight or looks like it did before you took it out it's fine...because I think there was a time when i was like...is it really clipped in? I think I jiggled the clip a little to see if it held right. I think the hardest for me was realizing how the heck I was suppose to get the rubber thing out. Really I just had to pull hard! And that's about it! ------------------------------------------------- TIP ON DRIVING WITH ONE LIGHT You shouldn't lol. I wanted to fix it ASAP before I went out Saturday night and get pulled over for some dumb reason lol. I avoided it for two weeks though and I found that driving with your fog lights on helps the cops not pull you over, lol.

Alright I'm writing this because I looked throughout the forum and couldn't find any CLEAR instructions or pictures to change a low beam bulb on a 1998 ES300 Lexus ... so I told myself if I figured it out I'll take pictures and here it is... 1. Buy an H7 bulb for your LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT This can be found at Wal-Mart or Auto Zone...or wherever you choose...I choose the brand Sylvania it was the only choice... it ran $14.99 at Auto Zone I think I saw it at Wal-Mart for cheaper 2. Find the Low Beam area under the hood It's the one with the rubber piece the other is for your high beams 3. Disconnect the wire... Just pull it out it's pretty easy, think Legos 4. So now it should look like this... 7. Take the rubber piece OFF There's a tab and you got to pull hard. It's kind of like a slip on so don't worry about pulling too hard. It's kind of like a cap on a Pringle's top, it's MEANT TO COME OFF...so just pull 8. There's a clip that holds the bulb in place all you have to do is take it off... if you look at the clip you push a certain direction it's no biggie... 9. Pull the bulb out and you have... DON'T THROW THIS AWAY 10. Pull apart the bulb... it's like a plastic piece and the bulb itself...it's again like Legos so just pull it apart and it'll look like... 11. Place the bulb you just bought back in the plastic piece. 12. Just reverse what I just said... 13. Try it out! I hope this helps a lot!
