EDIT: GO TO POST #43 TO FIND AN EASIER WAY TO CHANGE THE MIRROR LIGHTS THAN BELOW!!!!-here- http://clublexus.com/forums/showpost...6&postcount=43




top right corner screw in pass mirror


the back of the mirror should pop off, i used a credit card to help


the bulb is inside the housing


. just twist and pull out its a reg194 bulb

the finished product

[waynetech2]

for the dome lights it easier. for the front dome light there are screws hidden in the sunglass holder





after you take out the 2 screws there are 2 plastic fasteners that hold the rest in. you can pull those out


there are 3 bulbs(194) they will twist out

finished product..you dont see it here but bc the led's are so close to the lens you will actully see 3 bright dots of light within the lens..maybe not if you get refracted led's

[waynetech2]

the rear dome light is easy just use a special tool called a "credit card" or something like it, and pop off the lens. you will see two bulbs inside. They are called double ended or festoon bulbs or DE3175, 31millimeter(length) bulbs




finished




The LENS in the side doors are red OEM. the new ES350 has clear ones so i bought two of them to swap. THE PART # FOR THEM IS 81230-47010.


1st part of housing



2nd part of housing..it snaps on top of first part.



door light and illuminated scuff plate(i have sports pak so it was PnP)..sorry its blurry


changed fogs..





i think the car looks good at night when i walk up to it and it lights up..YEA!!

Holy crap your headlights are bright.

I see you have silverstar fogs, but what xenon kit do you have?

[waynetech2]

[jasoncd]

Fantastic! Maybe now I'll finally do some of the bulb changes. Thank you for all the details. Need to stick this in the FAQ.

Omg sticky! finally someone changing the outside lights. I been tryin figure out how to do it. Thanks alot

edit: damn the screws are pretty tough to get to for those puddle lamps. I feel like I might break it if I push anymore, how did you get to all those screws? did you strain the mirror?

[javyLSU]

Great info, and thanks for the pics - I've been meaning to do this for quite some time. Now I have pics to help!

hell yeah! i just ordered 30 dollars worth of led bulbs. im excited to finally change out the puddle lights and inside dome lights. thanks!

[pocky]

Beautiful! So there is technically a way to take out the mirror housing without removing the mirror. Thanks! Oh yeah, Gotta order those clear ES350 door lights.

LED's should still fade in and out. I have LED's installed on my dome lights, it still fades, but it doesn't wait for "15" seconds to fully dim out.
