Default Replaceing Headlight

I have a Friday appointment to have the drivers side headlight replaced due to condensation forming behind the lenz.

The Dealer says they will have to take off my front bumper to do this.

Anyone have this done before?

If you have small hands you can squeeze them in there and get to bulb socket. But there's no doubt they, your hands will suffer cuts and scrapes.

The dealership at Lexus will cost you at least $225.00 just for
labor in taking off the front bumper......

thats how much I paid for them to put in my AACstyle replacement Low beam bulbs.

I am talking about the high beam bulbs....it looks like you can just remove the air filter housing on one side and another thing on the other side to reach the high beam bulbs...anyone?

Yes you can....again very tight fit, and your hands will come out with scrapes and or cuts. But the bulbs can be changed out with having to drop the bumper cover
