How to Remove the Headlamp on a 2001 Lexus IS 300

The headlamps on your 2001 Lexus IS300 are expensive parts of your luxury sedan that can last decades without any maintenance. But headlamps can crack or break in an accident or when hit by rocks or other road hazards. In such cases, they need to be replaced. Or you might want to switch your headlamps to aftermarket headlamps that are more powerful or stylish. In either case, you can remove your Lexus headlamps in minutes.

Instructions

1

Open the hood and pull back the rubber gasket located behind the headlamp.

2

Open the metal tab on the back of the bulb with a flat-head screwdriver.

3

Turn the bulb counterclockwise and remove it from the headlamp assembly.

4

Remove the three bolts across the top of the headlamp assembly with a socket wrench fitted with a 10 mm socket.

5

Release the tab underneath the weather stripping on the side of the headlamp assembly and remove the assembly.

6

Disconnect the wiring harness by pushing down on the plastic piece on top of the harness, then pulling the plug out of the harness.
