If you are a handy person...You can change the HID bulbs yourself. They are about 50 bucks for a pair of bulbs on ebay or amazon. They take D2S bulbs. It took me about 10 minutes to change the bulbs when I swapped out the 4300K HID for 6000K. I wanted to have a bit more of a BMW colored bulb.
So, just squeeze my hands in there, twist the holder in the back of the lens assembly & pop the bulbs out without removing the lens assembly (& the front bumper)?
I ordered an owner's manual that should arrive tomorrow but spent some quality time last night in the dozens of PDF's that make up the manual that I found on-line, but I didn't see any removal instructions. I may have just missed that section however!
So for the drivers side you unclip to fuse box to move it our of the way and on the passenger side you unclip the fill hose for the washer fluid and move it of of the way. Then you twist the cap off of the back of the headlight. It would be helpful to use a mirror to see what you are doing once inside. But once you are in there, there will be a silver connector you twist off of the bulb. Then the bulb is held in with spring loaded clips. I have big hands and I can do it without removing the headlight.
My 16 year old daughter decided to take my Silver 2007 Lexus RX 400h for a joy ride, and crumpled the front of it in to a wonderful park bench. Since she was a minor, I was reluctant to do a police report, in which would enable the Insurance Re-Imbursement.
Therefore, I need to buy a Silver hood, AND I made the mistake of buying two headlights that aren't the headlights that the car came with (I was supposed to get the headlights that turn when you turn), and I got the basic headlights, which deem a "ABS" light on my dashboard.
I need the real headlights to get rid of the lit "ABS" light on my dashboard.
First question is:
What are they called?
Second Question is:
Where can I get them ? (preferably trade the basic ones that I have in)
Third Question is:
Does anyone have a hole already dug for my daughter after I kill her?
You don't have to have a police report to use insurance. In fact...the last time I needed to use my insurance I did call the police and they refused to come make a report because nobody was injured.

+1...you dont need to file a police report for a claim.....you will be the at fault party
The insurance premium will be going up like a rocket.....
HELP!! Have 2006 RX400h. Both low beams are out. Want to order them thru Rock Auto. Seems to be the best price. Any suggestions on which to buy? Could my igniter or module need to be replaced? How would I know if it was bad? Also, can't find the igniter or module anywhere on the internet. Auto Zone person told me I have to buy it a Lexus Dealer. Also installing the HID is a nightmare. Is there an easy way??

Hello...I cannot seem to find instruction on how to unclip the fuse box to move it out of the way...and definitely a little scared about moving that box and breaking it accidentally. Any tips or pics you could send my way?...or a video?
I have a 2007 RX400h....not sure what model/year you have. I saw you said you replaced the D2S (which is the low beam HID on my car) in 10 minutes. How? I tried to go up through the wheel well after removing the rubber lining and couldn't get to the low beam socket, and also tried go through the engine compartment. I've seen on the forum where people said they did it both ways but they either have very small hands and arms that twist like Gumby. Can you be more descriptive on how you got to the back side on the low beam socket? Thanks in advance. Incidentally, the driver side low beam burnt out on my car (which is my immediate problem) but I planned on replacing both since the passenger side is probably not long for this world either.
