Hey everyone, i'm new to this board, and to the site, cause i just got my IS300. I was changing my orange turn signals in the front and i dropped a bulb into the small turn-signal chamber. I tried EVERYTHING but couldn't get it out. Could someone please tell me how to take the headlight out so i can get the bulb out? Thanks

 

hahaha...

You have to take off the bumper...
i think there are 10 bolts...
don't forget 2 silver bolts between the bumper the quarter panel. These are hidden...They're right on the edge. to get to these, you'll have to peel the wheel well back a little.


The headlight is held in by 2 gold nuts.
The front is held in by a black clip.
You'll have to push 2 flathead screwdrives in to release the clips and pull out.

You'll see when you do it.

 

ITS BEEN A WHILE NOW DID YOU TAKE THE BUMPER OFF TO GET TO THE LIGHT?

 

LOL...I did the EXACT same thing. Almost pissed in my pants when that orange bulb dropped in there. And yes...had to take the bumper / headlight off to get it out. Should have taken off the bumper in the first place to change that bulb.

 

lol lets go bump long dead posts to the first page....

 

i tried getting the headlight out, but after taking off the bumper and EVERY SINGLE screw holding in the headlight, i couldn't unclip it without breaking the damn things. so i put everything back to normal and took the car back to the lexus dealership. they were more than willing to take the bulb out for me. and the best part is, it was FREE!!! lol. thanks for your help anyway everyone!

 

one more thing i forgot to mention: BlueIS0122 = AltezzaBlue0122. sorry for the mix-up.

 

haha thats so funny...i could imagine your expression when that happened.
