Anyone know how to replace the bulb on the 2015 RX?

What type of headlights do you have? Your 2015 RX350 should still be covered under warranty, right?

I don't think a bulb going out falls under vehicle warranty. HID projectors have a round cap directly behind the projector. Unscrew that and remove the connector that goes onto the bulb. I haven't seen the inside of that in a while but I believe there is a retention clip of some sort that holds in the bulb. After that you should be able to just slide the bulb out and pop a new one in. Try not to touch the glass on the new bulb!

Bulb should not have gone out this early. If you want to replace due to it going out I'd go to dealer because there could be a diff issue.

Less than a year,as a courtesy,the dealer should change the bulb no charge.If not I would call Lexus customer service and see if they can help but I really would be surprised if it got to that.

Agree that the bulb should be replaced if it went out that quickly. But if it's a matter of changing out for other reasons, the DIY section of the manual might have details on how to do it. Bulb information guide is in the Specifications section.

Sorry. The bulb is still good. I just want to change them out to the Phillips 6k.

It's important to know what type of headlights you currently have to know if you can even replace them with a "Philips 6k".

Perhaps you can post a photo of your headlights?

6K is a bit of blue and less lumens for light output.I'd like to go 5K for bright white vs 6K bluish tint.
Though the 6K may a perfect match the fogs but I'd still go 5K to get the stock HID yellow out..

35W HID 4300K produces 3200 lumens.

35W HID 5000K produces 3000 lumens.

35W HID 6000K produces 2800 lumens.

I can confirm what Joeb says. Swapped to Garax 6000k bulbs but they did not illuminate the road as well and was terrible in the fog so I swapped back to OE 4300k. Philips is probably a better brand but the light output is going to be similar.
