Lightbulb

Sup People,
Ive been looking into buying a 95 SC400, and the one that i might end up buying has condensation in the front right headlamp. Has anyone else had this problem, if so how should it be dealt with? One more thing, is it easy to put in PIAA Ice Blue bulbs, any suggestions for headlights? Thanks a lot!

You could get a new light assy. $350+ at Lexus.
I found water leaking into the light throught the clear port used to sight the lamp adjustment. I put some sealer on it and the condensation dried up and disappeared.
If that doesn't work you may have to reomove the whole assy. and seal the seam between the clear lense and the body. This is work because you have to go through the inner fender to remove all the bolting.

I had the same problem with my headlight. The junkyards sell them for $200. TAP Recycling (Lexus Dismantler in Sacramento, CA) I've seen them since on ebay from anywhere from $45-100 each. It took awhile for me to change because of the two bolts that required going in from the side--basically taking off the tire and unbolting the inner fender cover to gain access.

Default me too! Light condensation

Hi,
I have the same problem on my 93 SC400. Where can I find the hole that's letting the water in? Also, does anyone know how to change the parking lights?

Changing the headlight bulb is easy. Just twist the end of the bulb where the wiring attaches to and that's it.
Put in your new bulb and twist it to lock it.
