DYI changing HID Bulbs
I'm putting my 6000K bulbs I had in my 2013 GS into my 2015 Fsport. Can someone please share instructions to change myself, visuals would be great. I changed them myself on my 08 GS, but think I had the dealer swap them on my 13.
Thanks, I searched and didn't find anything.

I have tried changing out my stock HIDs with 5000k osram CBIs but no dice because its really tight in there and cant quite get to it from on top of the hood. So i have the dealership swap it for me and they charged me $60 to change it out.
Ive changed out many HID bulb i many cars and even did retrofitting to many cars to buy this car was really difficult to do.

I actually did the change out to Osram CBI today. It was a bit of a pain in the ***, but I pulled it off. I used the instructions here (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-to-6000k.html). A big trick is the little hatch inside the wheel well on the driver's side per the thread above. Another tip is to make sure to disconnect the power connector that goes to the ballast. You will need a little slotted (flat head) screw driver to do it.
Now, one thing to note is that even though I thought my bulbs were seated correctly, I am finding them both seemed to be aimed high so I need to re-examine them tomorrow.
