Hey all, new to these forums, not to cars. My mother owns an 05 RX330 and has a front passenger side headlight bulb out. The stealership wants to charge just over $600 to replace this bulb. Obviously, I wont let her get ripped off like that. The question is, should I just replace the housing? Or are the bulbs relatively easy to replace? I have never worked on a lexus before, and know these headlights have a bit more to them than the ones in my 06 Mustang. Any help would be great!

You can buy the bulb on Amazon for around $50 and install it yourself. There's not much space to work with so unless you have small hands, it can be a little difficult to Install the bulb. Or take it to a independent mechanic and have them install it. Shouldn't be more than 30 bucks.

Are there any tricky parts to be aware of or all pretty self explanatory?

Just remove the headlight cover turning it 1/4 inch then pry it straight out with a flathead screwdriver. Then you will able to access the bulb. you can do a search on this forum to find more detailed instructions
