My 07 Lexus ES350 is turning into a money pit. Entire suspension system, two motor mounts, ok, brakes all around; now these ultra expensive headlights. I never mentioned the premium unleaded. I do love driving it though. The Japanese make some the most reliable cars in the world to include this. They need to get out of that over engineering hole. Keep it simple. That is what made Toyota who they are. I will never stop buying them though.
Nice video bud. I saw another one where the guy didn't have swivel headlights and getting that ballast wire out was a nightmare for him. Im about to swap ballast on my 2013 es300h. Video was helpful
Can you tell us where you got the lights from because I got one it had the hole but not the motor and it had to put the old motor in it and it’s not working
I Appreciate u makeing this video because no where on RUclips was there a headlight removal on a ES350 Wonder if u can do a video on removing the front fender on ES350 that would be awesome 🙏🏽
Sorry I won't be able to make a video of that anytime soon but here is a video of an is250 and the procedure should be very similar! ruclips.net/video/_o3CwsIqhO0/видео.html
Good video if you want to change the entire headlight assembly. I just changed my hid bulb in my 2008 es350 without doing 90% of that. Although I have a lot of experience with it. If you are just changing the bulb, it doesnt require all of the ripping the car apart at all. If you know what your doing, its literally a 5-10 min fix
Hello, sorry I can't describe it well, but if you can take a picture of your headlights from the rear with the hood open, it will help. You can send to me at speed3000gt at Yahoo.com
Also, if you look under the steering wheel area, if you see a button that says AFS, that means you have it.. here is a picture www.clublexus.com/forums/es-5th-gen-2007-2012/328756-where-is-the-afs-off-switch.html#&gid=1&pid=1
Hi, I have the same year & model. Passenger low headlight burned out, put a new one and replaced the driver side as well to match. The passenger side does not light. I hear a buzzing sound. The driver side is okay. Would you know anything about such an issue?
Thanks for video!!! This video helped out so much and gave me hope to replace them. Funny thing is I ordered from same place. My model is a 2012 es350...should it be the same way to install?
The 2012 has slightly updated body parts but it should be very similar so I don't expect you to hit any major snags! Good luck and post back after you do it. If you do hit a snag, post here and I'll try to help.

0:34 You can access it from this location by removing some bolts from this black plastic piece. Then reach your hand up to the connector. Twist and replace the bulb. I recommend getting Phillips led. Mine is going strong 3 years later
I own a 2008 Lexus es350 do you know if they come with factory hid ? Because I ordered some led bulbs and I wanna know if they will work or not because I’m Not Sure weather the 2008 Lexus ES350 comes with factory hid my lights that originally came with the car are very bright I can tell they are hid by the way they start up Slowly
Some 2008 models came with regular halogen headlights. Can you post upload a video of your hood up and different angles of the headlights? If there appears to be a lot of wires coming out of the rear of the headlight, it might be aftermarket.
Ive cleaned my headlights you can get a cleaning kit where you wetsand and polish and seal them it got rid of the fog but not the yellow so much. If your lights have lil micro crack in them its permanent
I have a question, where did u purchase your assembly headlights upgrade? If u do mind me asking. It didn't go well, Collision shop said the ones I purchased and seller claimed they were the right fit , it actually was not right for my car.They refused to mess up my car trying to make lights fix. Very disappointed
Oh goodness, sorry to hear that. I got the ones for this car off Ebay. This car in the video have the HID lights from the factory with the self moving bulb. Where did you buy yours from? Did the ad say halogen or HID ?
Please help me. I just want to know the wires and location of the temperature sensor. I own a Lexus ES350 model year 2009. Before I bought the car, this sensor was canceled and I want to restore it. Thank you for your help.
How do you keep track of all the fasteners? Even if you don't lose any, how do you know where they all go back to? This project looks like a nightmare.
@@imronsubhan454 sorry, i should have dome it last year. Its my mother's car and so next time shes visitimg, ill try to do it. There might be videos on youtube for other lexus models to give you a general idea
I have a question I have a 2011 ES 350 it came with halogen projector headlights. Would I be able to just throw a HID bulb in there? Since it's projector already or what I have to get a conversion kit? Thank you 😊 To be honest they look like your original headlights similar to the projector halogen
Sorry sir, I'm not certain about that question! Maybe you can go to the auto parts store and they can pull up a list of interchangeable bulbs or possibly give info on kits. But know this, 2007 to 2009 had different shape headlights than the 2010 to 2013 models even though they look the same. Good luck!
No, they seem just as powerful as the old ones. They use the same bulb as the old ones. This was only replacing the headlight housing so it shouldn't affect power.
Hey FIY, you never did demonstrate how your aftermarket AFS headlight set worked, that being if they move up or down or even sideways when you turn the steering wheel. Can you make such a video? That would be the icing on the cake.
Hi, I think there is an issue with this car's stability links which is setting off the AFS light so we just turned it off. I'll try to make a video of that repair when the weather warms up, but for now, here is a video of someone else fixing it on their Lexus gs350: ruclips.net/video/tNTKv6SpwMI/видео.html
They are pretty good. The only semi difficult part was adjusting the beam after installation due to the tight space to stick a wrench in there and the amount of times to turn the screw. But definitely better that the old ones that had been letting water in.
Alright i bought lights. That part at the top where you say the wire connects to the computer isnt there. Am i fucked? That for the afs i got 07 postive it has the moving light.
@@speed3000gtthanks i checked i do have afs does that mean i cant use these lights or can i just not use the afs? i can probably just tape that wire off and turn it off right?

No I'm sorry i don't!
Awesome vid. Just finished replacing an old/hazzy oem headlamp with a newer condition one.
This headlight is from Hell.
Helpful video , where did you get the assembly kit? I have a 2013 I have to replace the same thing
I got them off eBay from a seller named dt-moto. $475 for a pair but you can offset that cost by selling your old ones for $100 each.
Did you get yours replaced?
Looks complicated...was hoping not to go to lexus
You didn’t put the old adjuster to the new headlight and it also didn’t have its own. So how did you adjust them?
A couple more plastic parts in the way but this is essentially the same for the ES330
Is there an “easy” way to just change the little aux light on the outside of the headlights? Mine is out and it makes a light on the dash illuminate.
Thanks for the video. Do you have the link of where to buy the replacement headlight assembly?
Hi, just search on ebay for your year, male, model and add HID if yours is
Hi, I have the same year & model. Passenger low headlight burned out, put a new one and replaced the driver side as well to match. The passenger side does not light. I hear a buzzing sound. The driver side is okay. Would you know anything about such an issue?
