Never mind... I just called the dealership and they dont sell the bulb by itself...you have to buy the whole housing for $105.00, but he said to bring down the car and the service dept might be able to cover it under warranty. On my way! Will post back with details.

Alright guys went down to South Bay Lexus....and got it replace for free! They were awesome once again. The Service Guy said it was going to be about 180 (100 parts + 80 for labor) to change am like WTF! Are you serious 180 to change a frickin $5 bulb...Then I told him what the parts dept told me and then I stated my agrument about how Lexus is ripping people off and that its a bunch of BS for a company to charge for a service for something so stupid like a bulb serious guys I couldn't get the housing off without breaking the clips that holds it together. Who ever thought of that design was really a theif! 105.00 for a $5 led bulb! Com ON!
