Thumbs up 2012 Headlights| Parking and Signal light bulb replacements?

Before we go any further. Yes I did use the search up top and didnt come across anything for the 2012 headlights.

Im wondering if anyone has had any luck changing out the Parking light bulbs and Signal light bulbs to LEDs for the 2012 headlights. The furtheset I got was accessing the low beam bulbs and cant seam to find a way to get to them. Are these suckers even replaceable?

If any of you have done it, can you please explain, post up a link, or a DIY. Thanks in advance CL !

I've always found it too much of a hassle to unscrew this and that and still have not much room to work with when replacing bulbs in the 2IS so I always take the bumper off and pull my headlights out and it takes me 10 minutes. Thats really about your only option if you havent done it bc it is kind of hard to open those covers behind the headlights. This DIY will at least guide u on how to remove your bumper and headlights https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...on-how-to.html

I think removing the bumper is probably the easiest way to go, but I've never tried to access them any other way.

I know right? I was looking at the DIY threads for changing the bulbs on the older headlights and was like man that's too much work and I had already taken my bumper on and off so many times so i found that to be the easiest route.

I bought the 2012 IS350 F-Sport for the wife cause it was her long time dream car and then I got the 2012 ISF for myself

I had to settle for the ISF cause when I applied for the 2013 GTR they said i was over extended cause I just bought a new car 2 months prior (the wife's IS350).

Not a baller bro, although I wish I was... One day, im saving all my pennies cause im gonna get me a GTR one day

Nice I see alot of the IS F guys here have switched to a GTR some have even switched back. Both are great cars, sure no way the IS F will get on the power of the GTR but I'm sure its more practical and comfortable inside than the GTR. I would have loved to buy a IS F but unfortunately I need AWD where I'm at. Post pics of both of your cars.
