Default Lexus IS250 Install Parking LED Light Help

Hi Guys,

Hoping you can help with this. I was able to install my High Beam and Low Beam Lights. But I have problems installing the park lights on the driver side. I only removed the windshield wiper tube to gain access. But because the park lights have 2 screws holding it, I do not have enough room for my hand and a screwdriver to remove the 2 screws to replace the park lights.

Can anyone help or know of a better way of getting this done?

Thanks!

take your bumper off and pull the headlight off, thats the best way to get all the room you need, i find that its less effort to do that then to take this and that off. ive taken my headlights and bumper off plenty of times and it takes 5 min or less

Looking at your profile, you have a 2011 without HID and using Halogen correct?

The light housing should be similar to that of a 2010 car with HID or without.

Basing on that, the parking light should be easily accessible since there shouldn't be any screws holding it in. Should be able to use your hand to reach in there and turn to unlock and that the assembly holding the parking light would be able to pull out.

Thanks guys for all your input. Yes, it is a 2011 Model with Halogen Bulbs. I also did see jdm website that gave step by step instruction on how to complete this. But I am 100% certain that there are 2 screws holding it in place. I was able to remove the 2 screws and take out the passenger side one since i was able to remove the air filter and have all the room i needed. As for the driver side, i had no such luck...Another suggestion was remove the bumper which is something I don't want to do.

Thanks guys! I will take a picture once i get the chance to be more detailed.

There should be a moisture shield that is held my a little metal clamp. You need to remove that to access the parking light. Once its off, I think you need to rotate the bulb clock wise to remove it and swap the bulbs.

that two screws that you see do not need to come off. What you need to do is unclip the harness and then twist to unlock and pull the base with the bulb out.

Don't undo the screws, you are trying to take apart a piece of the headlight that doesn't need to come off. All you do is move the metal wire that is holding the cover in place, the screws stay in place.
