Default changing headlights
2001 GS430 here, Does the front bumper have to come off in order to change the bulbs in the two little circular headlights in the front? Thanks people.

no, just reach in there when the car is cold and you should be able to change them. Not sure if you mean the high beam or the 194, but either way just open the hood and they are all accessible.

The hid bulb on the drivers side sucked big time. The DRL on the drivers side is a pain too? It was like a nightmare trying to change that one. lol
