    Thanks for the video! In case anyone was wondering, the bulb for Fog Lights is a Sylvania 9006 for about $15. There are various other brands, as well as 2-packs available, but I just chose one to get through inspection. Btw, the worst part was removing the bulb as it really didn't want to spin that slight turn, and I ended up using various solvents/digging out corrosion, etc. and after about an hour and patience using pliers to carefully get it moving slightly back and forth, I finally got it removed. Also, keep in mind you never should touch a halogen bulb itself since the oils in your fingers will burn and discolor the envelope. I always wrap something around the bulb 'glass' until it is about to go into the housing.

      @@gavrilovas1 Passed my inspection! Thanks to you for showing me exactly how to remove that fog light housing. While it is sometimes possible to access from the back, turning the tires, etc., in my case because the bulb was stuck in the housing I needed to remove it all. You had EXACTLY the information I needed! Thanks!

    I found it hard to get my 10mm ratchet in the front holes.
    Don't know if your model is the same as mine but I found a much easier way for me:
    Turn your front tires all the way to the left.
    Remove the wheel well cover retaining clip (I popped it out with a knife)
    Pull the wheel well cover back and you will see the back of the light fixture.
    Turn the connector counterclockwise and pull the light harness out.
    Replace bulb.
    Put everything back together.
    Took me about 10 minutes.

      I agree. I did it from the back as you so long ago that I forgot. Other issue is the chance of the lens no longer aligned when reinstalled. If there is a alignment from the factory will it be the same? Not sure if that is a issue but why take the chance. From the back was so easy..

    Hi. Do you have any videos on removing the headlights? I'm getting. Some hids for both the fog lights and headlights so need an easy tutorial on how to remove. BTW if you remember you recommended I replace the brake master cylinder. I found a suitable replacement so just waitin for my tool set to arrive so I can do it on my own

    I got one of mine out. But the other one I couldnt pull the whole fog light out so i couldnt see the wire, im tempted to yank it but i feel like it would just pull the whole wire out. how do i disconnect the fog light when i cant reach the wire? Did lexus just not make the wire long enough?

    it's not that easy to say... how often this sometimes happens? and it's only one light that doesn't work sometimes or both of them ?

  • @gavrilovas1
    @gavrilovas1  11 лет назад

    i think that i forced my second fog light to come out after 2 screws was removed i couldn't pool him out just right away... the first one almost fell of after 2 screws was removed..

    Thanks for posting this. I thought that I had to remove the entire bumper to accomplish this. I notice that yours is right hand drive. What country are you in? Thanks.

    @gavrilovas1  11 лет назад

    if you got one of your fog light out by removing 2 bolts you should be able to take out the second one as well try to use a large flat screw drive to force fog light out a little bit ... he stuck because of high temperatures maybe he melted bumper plastic...

    it could be poor connection between in wire harness maybe you losing ground somewhere ... you will need to remove the bumper and inspect all wire harness for any damaged wire////

    Too hard for me to screw those nuts back in when installing the fog light. Limited space and can't see anything. I give up, about to just take the bumper off.
