does anyone know how to change the front sidemarker light bulb on the lexus es350 07'? I'm planning to change the stock 2825 lightbulb to HID, thanks

 

I changed mine through the front tire wheel well.(don't know if I spelled that right, LOL). I have 20 inch rims on my 2007 ES350 and thought I had to take the tires off, but you don't. Turn your steering wheel inward an presto your tires are out of the way for the screws to be unscrewed. Unscrew the screws and there is your turning signal bulb along with your side marker bulb. Changed mine out with some PIAA HID bulbs and they look great!

Good Luck!

 

Thank You for the advice caballero7, I will definitely give it a try on the weekend. It will be great if you can upload a picture of your ES350 with the PIAA HID bulbs for the front sidemarker!

 

also look into LED for the side marker. Post some pics when done.

 

I have a white LED bulb in mine - they work great, even makes the HID headlights look yellow

Question: that light in there is a 194 bulb, how do you find a HID 194 bulb? I didn't know they make those (??). Unless you're talking about a bulb with "HID Look"

 

any pictures anyone?

 

hehe, perhaps an HID Look to a bulb, maybe good PIAA bulb. But really the LED is more practical. A true HID sidemarker would not have a good enough demand market to produce. Then to have a HID ballast or backend unit thing to power HID sidemarker is too much. 194 LED is perfect! I use many for my interior.

 

thanks for all the suggestions and opinions, i got mine done and it looks great and they are a pair of LED's... took me about an hour to install both of them.
