Default High Beam Bulb Replacement

Hello all.

I assume to change the high beam bulb that I'll have to take apart the washer nozzle and a few other items to get to the compartment? I've searched around and can't find anything...

Lexus hasn’t made very many things easy. Headlights included. I replaced my low beams by removing front tires and the fender well liners.

I may be mistaken but you may be able to access the high beam through the fender well liner, reaching through the hole and past the low beam light. I would not take apart the washer nozzle and go in from the front.

If not, then I would remove panels panels under the car and maybe the bumper to reach it from the bottom. Maybe someone that has replaced their high beams with LEDs will chime in.

Thank you for responding and I ended up getting them replaced...

Remove both plastic covers... On the drivers side, remove the top part of the washer fill tube (one 10mm bolt) and for the passenger side, push aside the fuse box after removing the two 10mm bolts.

Yep, Thats how you do it. There is a DIY on changing the DRL bulbs and it shows you how since its the same bulb on early models.
