CAUTION
Replacing light bulbs
Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after turn-
ing off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth to
avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This may
damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
Discharge headlights (if equipped)
Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional before replacing the discharge headlights (including
light bulbs).
Do not touch the discharge headlight’s high voltage socket when the head-
lights are turned on.
An extremely high voltage of 30000 V will be discharged and could result in
death or serious injury by electric shock.
Do not attempt to take apart or repair the headlight bulbs, connectors, power
supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and death or serious injury.
To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat damage.
Vehicles with discharge headlights: While
the headlights are turned on, and for a
short time after they have been turned off,
metal components at the rear of the head-
light assembly will be extremely hot. To
prevent burns, do not touch these metal
components until you are certain they
have cooled down.
