●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need
replacement. (P. 4 3 2 )
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
