For the rear corners, I use the large rubber bumpers that you can see near the outer edges of the chassis along the lower sill.. If you want to raise the entire end of the vehicle equally, you can use the diff for the rear (there's a jack plate on the diff). For the front, there's also a jack point located on the cross member.
Here's a pic that might help:

I went outisde, rolled the car over onto it's back (with help from my wife), and snapped a few photos. Nothing is too laborious for my friends here at CL.....
And as you can see, I am a stickler for details, hence how nice and clean I keep my car, even the underneath......
LOL. Google!

Ok so many many years ago at dealers I worked for owners new the meaning of word of mouth. Reputation meant something. Pricing was fair and people were not lied to very often. They made a very good living owning their business and even took care of their employees with bonus money etc. Unfortunately that all changed. Manufactures demanded multi million buildings and loaner cars and this and that. It all escalated to what we have now. Insane prices only the rich can afford. Caring about word of mouth is gone, honesty is gone, fair pricing is gone. Those good owners greedy kids or large corporations run most dealerships now and they dont care about anything but raping and pillaging every wallet that drives on their property. I know this isnt earth shaking news but I watched it year by year and were stuck with it now. If anyone cares I can get into more detail since I was great friends with my service manager of 25 years and we talked about each thing as they came about over the years.

They sell authentic bulbs and there are some guides on their site to help you understand the differences between authentic and knock off bulbs commonly found on places like ebay.
I originally found their site when looking for bulbs for my Z32 and needed the Xenon bulbs found on the late model Z32 in Japan. I wanted oem bulbs that apparently are no longer made but they still had a bunch of old stock still available.

So I went to turn on my low beams a bit earlier tonight and wuddaya' know...
The passenger side is out.
Not a bad life for an OEM HID bulb; 8+ years!
I'll be ordering what Roadfrog has recommended shortly.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks Enigma869 - I was looking under the hood and could see two ports to the Bulbs but also could see they were the High Beam and Turning Light. I did remove the wheel well and then the bulb. To remove the wheel well, you remove the Screws and Fender Clips. There are some fender welds that look like the Clips except they are solid without a center core. Leave these alone. The two clips close to the outside and almost in the bottom of the well have a slot in them. I turned them 90 degrees, then pulled out. The others came out easily with screw driver.. I used the Sylvania DS4 bulb and the color and brightness were the same as the OEM bulb on the other side. I replaced one because I saved very little work by doing them at the same time. That is your choice though, I am retired and can do the other anytime.
You have to remove the wheels and then the fender lining to replace the bulbs. This is how the service manual shows replacing the bulbs, use a flat head to remove the liner tabs. You can do it, might take you 20 mins ea good luck.
Where can I get the book to show me how to replace a headlight bulb in my 2007 LS460?? Anyone PLEASE!!!!! Dealer wants $400 just to put in a bulb for me WTH
thanks for the video. you made it look so easy that i regret paying someone to do it (well, they also installed HID fogs so it wasn't that much more expensive). also +1 on the morimoto because i have it for both headlights and fogs (6500k). it's not as whitish/bluish as i would have liked it so i might use your video if i decide to switch them out....
