DIY for Lights?
Hey, I just bought my CPO 2005 GX470, and I love it! I just had a quick question...does anyone have a do-it-yourself guide or a link to one on how to install the foglights (or any/all headlights in general)? I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Thanks!

The Fog lights assy installation is easy....First remove the Radiator Support Seal Upper peice. Then remove the Front Bumper Guard, then remove the Left and Right Front Fender Liner . Finally remove the Front Bumper Cover. There are two screws for installation of the Fog lamp which come on either side, Disengage the claw and Insert the Fog Lamp unit. The after having the connections made, install the Front Fender Liner RH, then LH. Adjust the aim of the fog lamp by moving the screws placed on rear of the lamp unit lower part left side of the lamp to be installed ( for example if in case for the LH side, and RH side screw for the RH lamp unit. The screw aim is for adjustment of vertical direction. cheers. For Main headlamp I do not know as I havent yet opened it. maybe somebody can help u out.

Mann, you sure you have the right car, when I change my fog light bulb in my GX, I just went underneather the truck and I think its one screw and 2 clips, that it.
The high and low beam, you need to take off the engine bay covers.

G Man, I only mentioned about the Fogs, I just again went to see the Fogs, as I can see clearly there is only one claw which needs to be disengaged and the One screw at the opposite end. With regards to the Engine Bay covers, I think what you are saying is the Front Bumper Cover Lower . . Now coming to High/ Low Beam are we talking about the Main HeadLamp Assy, as the Fogs only have one beam and that need vertical beam alignment.

Thank you guys for your help! I had a few more light-related questions...what size bulb do the running boards use? How do you change those? How about the back up lights? Thanks again for all your help!
