2001 Lexus ES300 headlight bulb

SWITCHES
36For signaling
turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ªONº 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 ªONº
position. The fog lights come on only when the
headlights are on low beam.WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER SWITCH

(h) ªABSº Warning Light
The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the
ªONº position. If the anti±lock brake system and the
brake assist system work properly, the light turns off after
a few seconds. Thereafter, if either of the systems
malfunctions, the light comes on again.
When the ªABSº warning light is on (and the brake
system warning light is off), the anti±lock brake system,
the brake assist system, the traction control system and
the vehicle skid control system do not operate, but the
brake system still operates conventionally.
When the ªABSº warning light is on (and the brake
system warning light is off), the anti±lock brake system
does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions occurs, this
indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts
monitored by the warning light system. Contact
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible to service the
vehicle.
 The light does not come on when the ignition key is
turned to the ªONº position, or remains on.
 The light comes on while you are driving.
A warning light turning on briefly during operation does
not indicate a problem.
(i) Open Door Warning Light
This light remains on until all the doors are completely
closed.
(j) Rear Light Failure Warning Light
If this light comes on when the headlight switch is turned
on (at the first or second clickstop), it indicates that one
or more of the tail lights are burned out.
If it comes on when the brake pedal is depressed, one
or more stop lights are burned out.
Have defective bulbs replaced as soon as possible.
(k) Vehicle Skid Control System Warning Lights (Vehicles with Vehicle Skid
Control System only)
These lights warn that there is a problem somewhere in
the vehicle skid control system, traction control system
and brake assist system.
The lights will come on when the ignition key is turned to
ªONº, and will go off after a few seconds.
If the ªVSCº warning light and ªVSC OFFº indicator light
come on, the vehicle skid control system, traction control
system and brake assist system do not work. However,
as conventional braking operates when applied, there is
no problem to continue your driving.

1Mark 2Acceptable range
2. Look at the beam angle gauge (horizontal
movement). The mark should not deviate by more than
one mark to either side of the gauge.
If the mark is out of the acceptable range of the gauge,
adjust it using bolt B.
After adjusting the headlight in the horizontal direction,
check that the light has been shifted from the adjusted
position in the vertical direction.
If the error is over the value specified above, take the
vehicle to your Lexus dealer to adjust the headlight aim.
REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
The illustration on the following pages show the
locations of light bulbs. If it is necessary to replace a
bulb, take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible. Use bulbs with the bulb numbers and wattage
ratings given in the table.
CAUTION
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require
special handling. They can burst or shatter if scratched
or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case.
Do not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.

NOTICE
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
The inside of the lens of exterior lights such as
headlights may temporarily fog up when the lens
becomes wet in the rain or in a car wash. This is not a
problem because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside and inside
of the lens, just like the windshield fogged up in the rain.
However, if there is a large drop of water on the inside
of the lens, or if there is water pooled inside the light,
contact your Lexus dealer.LIGHT LOCATION
