Default 08 GS light housing removal

I have a 08 GS 460 front headlight housing full of moisture. do any pics or videos exist on how to remove the housing? Meanwhile i will continue arguing with Lexus about warranty coverage.

Check the members DIY for instructions on removing your bumper and headlight. Afterwards make sure you check your ballast which is on the bottom of your headlight assembly to see if water is collecting in it. The ballast is an open back design and any moisture condensation will collect at the bottom and ruin your ballast. If ballast has corrosion run a bead of silicone along the edges of your ballast and drill a couple of weep holes on the bottom in the headlamp housing if you don't want to purchase a new headlamp housing.
