2006 GS430 Headlight Issue, On and off
hey guys, can any of you please direct me to the most thorough step by step guide on how to replace driver side bulb please? as I am going on youtube and forums here, no DIY step by step which I really need because i am a newb on working on cars, mostly just oil changes and air filters, my driver side bulb has been out for a while and I really like to tackle this one for my project..just bought the after market ones from amazon for like $30 dollars. the problem I am also having is that whenever it rains the water would go into the housing of headlight and the bulb would not turn on after the rain, you guys think it would warrant a whole unit replacement? if that is the case I would rather save money and drive at night with one light on for now.. thank you guys so much for all your help...really appreciate it.

it's a nightmare trying to do this by feel of the fingers since you can't look there directly.
Therefore, I took this video with the headlight removed so I can take very close up video.
Aftermarket cheap bulbs have unpredictable life. I would get the original OEM, Phillips D4S C1.
Yes, it's nearly $60, but the original lasted 14 years and over 100K miles,
so this could be your last replacement.
If you need to replace the headlight or ballast, here are additional videos:
Front bumper removal
Headlight removal
Ballast replacement
Unless you know how the bulb goes in and get locked in,
it's a nightmare trying to do this by feel of the fingers since you can't look there directly.
