Re: How to change a Lexus turn-signal bulb - SOLVED

Just to let you know that on the 2000 ES300 there is a small screw at the top that needs to be removed before you can pull the turn-light unit out. You can just pull up on the black plastic and take out the small screw. Saves from going into a dealer and getting charge $50 +. All I had to do was take the bulb out and put it back in and then everything worked fine.

Removing front lamp assembly and correcting a fast flashing blinker. (This is the procedure for a '96 ES300. I would assume that other models are basically the same.)

  1. Open the hood and remove the plastic clips that hold the front plastic splash guard in place. This is done by pushing on the center of the plastic buttons to depress them slightly. The button (clip) can then be removed. For the buttons (clips) with the philips head center, lift the philips head center until you hear a click and then remove the whole clip.

  1. Remove the plastic splash guard.

  2. Remove the three 10mm bolts that hold the lens assembly to the fender.

  1. On the fender side of the lamp assembly there is a plastic clip that is inserted in a small flange which is part of the fender. Use a flat screwdriver to put pressure on the back of the post that protrudes thru this clip. This post, that is part of the lamp assembly, helps to hold the assemble in the correct position. Once that post is free of the clip the lens assembly can easily be removed.

  2. Un-clip the wires to the main headlights and the the parking/turn signal lamp and remove the lens assembly from the vehicle.

  1. In the case of a fast blinking turn signal, remove the turn signal bulb, test to be sure it is good, and clean the contacts of the blub, bulb holder, and the printed circuit strip on the lamp assembly.

7, Reassemble everything and test.

  1. Replace the lamp assemble in the fender and secure the splash guard with the clips.

  2. This should be about a 1/2 hour job.
