Default Turn signal replacement

Anyone have any experience replacing the front passenger turn signal bulb on a LC500? I can not find any video or write-up on how to DIY. I hope the whole assembly does not have to be replaced.

There is a socket as seen here

Don't know if that contains a replaceable bulb.

Thanks, I see it. Now I have to figure out how to access it. Hope the entire bumper doesn’t have to come off.

There's no bulb; it's an LED assembly. If your light does not work, it will need to be tested to rule out wiring issues. Pink wire is B+, White with Black stripe is ground. If it tests bad, you need to replace the whole thing.

Yes, the bumper needs to come off. It's screwed from the backside.

Good luck!

So what is that I circled in the photo above? Appears to be a bulb. Are we talking about the same thing?

Yep. It's common for the grommet where the harness enters the light to resemble a bulb socket. But if you remove it you'll find it's just more wires leading to the LED board inside the light.
