1998 Lexus ES300 headlight bulb

SWITCHES19
12E004±1
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the conventional
manner.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.
The turn signal is self±cancelling after a turn, but after a lane change\
, you may
have to cancel it by hand. You can also signal a lane change by moving the
turn signal lever partway and holding it there.
If the green light in the instrument cluster flashes faster than normal, it
indicates that the front or rear turn signal bulb has burned out. If this indicator
light does not come on, the fuse or the indicator light itself has probably failed.
FOG LIGHT SWITCH
12E005±1
To turn on the fog lights, turn the switch to the ºONº position. Th\
e fog
lights come on only when the headlights are on low beam.
