■When replacing the front left headlight and parking light (vehicles with halogen
headlights) bulbs
■Condensation build-up on the inside of the lens
Contact your Lexus dealer for more inform ation in the following situations. Tempo-
rary condensation build-up on the inside of the headlight lens does not indicate a
malfunction.
●Large drops of water are built up on the inside of the lens.
●Water has built up inside the headlight.
■Discharge headlights (if equipped)
If voltage to the discharge bulbs is insufficient, the bulbs may not come on, or may
go out temporarily. The discharge bulbs will come on when normal power is
restored.
■LED front side marker lights, side turn signal lights, tail lights, stop/tail lights, high
mounted stoplight, rear side marker lights, license plate lights and parking lights
(vehicles with discharge headlights)
The front side marker lights, side turn signal lights, tail lights, stop/tail lights, high
mounted stoplight, rear side marker light s, license plate lights and parking lights
(vehicles with discharge headlights) consist of a number of LEDs. If any of the LEDs
burn out, take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer to have the light replaced.

washer fluid filler opening to allow easy
access to the light bulbs.
After replacing the bulbs, make sure to
secure the washer fluid filler opening with the

CAUTION
■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the headlights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after turn-
ing off the headlights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with ba re hands. Hold the bulb by
the plastic or metal portion.
If the bulb is scratched or dropped it may blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failing to do so may
result in heat damage, fire, or water en tering the headlight unit. This may damage
the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
■Discharge headlights (if equipped)
●Contact your Lexus dealer be fore replacing discharge headlights (including light
bulbs).
●Do not touch the high-intensity discharge headlight’s high voltage socket when
the headlights are turned on.
An extremely high voltage of 20000 V wi ll be discharged and could result in
serious injury or death by electric shock.
●Do not attempt to take apart or repair the low beam headligh t bulbs, connectors,
power supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and serious injury or death.
■To prevent damage or fire
