Anyone know how to change the front marker light bulb(driver;s side) on the '01 ls430. I removed all plastic covers from around the headlight under the hood, but can't get to this light bulb. Looks like the headlight needs to come off. If anyone changed this bulb on their car, can you please tell me what needs to come off before I start removing something that doesn't need to be touched. Is my suspision correct about taking the headlight out? Thanks.

 

I beleive it can be accessed through the inner fender... i beleive you have to remove the front part of the fender liner, and access it that way.

 

Now that I think about it you may be right.
I took all the covers off around headlight under the hood. Still can't get there. This bulb is on the bottom and in the front of the headlight. Doesn't look like it can be accessed by the method I have tried. After I removed all the plastic panels, I have access to replace any bulb in the headlght assembly accept for the one I need to replace. I think I will just let it be out for a while, since I don't feel like taking the inner fender lining off. I'll wait til some other bulb goes out, then I wll replace it. Thanks though.

 

you were right dude. I just couldn't put up with it mentally cause on all my previous parts I always accessed any light bulb I needed replaced from the top. Including on my LS400. What a mess with this stupid bulb man. I couldn't beleive it. I turned the wheel all the way to the right and removed the plastic cover from underneath the front part of the fender and reached in there and there it was. I now know that the turn signal bulb is replaced the same way as well. Wow... Thanks a lot man. I appreciate it.

 

I thought I might chime in here for those of you that still care about these little bulbs like me, and warn you this thing is a bit of a beast. Be patient, and remember it is a twist like other bulbs. When I first saw it and got my hands on it, I thought it was a snap-in, so I was pulling on it. There is very little room so you will have to twist it with almost no leverage.
