Here is some pics of headlight ballast. Front left side gs450h headlight assembly removed .spray jet nozle secured with paper.
Removed bumper for easy access to balast.
Headlight removed ....next problem is to remove pentagon screw in order to remove ballast connector
This is the one ....big issue to remove.
Final results .....thank you aftermarket.

this time was much easyer to takle front left side ,because I did front right side before.As reference use my previous threads "pics of headlight GS450h replacement of ballast"

next task is to check if those aftermarket ballast wll support D2R bulbs also,
right now I am running on D4S bulbs also aftermarket.

NOTE:after removing pentagon screw be carefull white lever from other side of the pentagon screw goes into two channels before you put pentagon screw back.Make sure to mark position of lever before removal to keep same level for lights.

Still looking best solution for fog lights ...right now 9006 LED type bulbs got only up to 1200 lumen,for me it is not enugh, I will need at least 10000 lumens. (yellow or white).will post picture when I find something like thattttttttt.

untill next time
cheers.

just quick update here in order to remove PENTAGON screw to get ballast connector out i had to use TORQUE BIT 27

AND NO NEED TO PLAY WITH BALLAST SOLDERING WIRES OR DISSASEMBLING CONNECTOR ETC ETC
