Bulb not working

[Sukhi Saatchi]

Hi,

My first time on here with a fault I would like your help/ opinion on.☺️

I noticed just 30 minutes ago whilst I programmed my seat adjustments that my offside small headlight bulb (yellow coloured one) was not working.

There was no fault on the dash suggesting a blown bulb. My Mercedes usually has an orange light symbol come up when there is a bulb fault.

Is it an easy job to access this bulb? Or should I take it back to the dealer? I am pretty good with electrics and mechanical work.

Cheers,

Good youtube video this,

Not sure there is a warning on the 400h. Never had a bulb blow when I had mine.

But I did put whiter bulbs in and iirc the bulbs are easy enough to get to. Check your handbook. One of the things I find with Lexus generally is that someone has actually thought about maintenance.

Thanks for replying, Sorted it, was just a loose connection. As soon as I took the Battery cover and connecting cover off, the bulb came on.

I just pushed the connections in tightly. But did notice that the black plastic 'screws' that hold the covers down were missing.

Where could I source them from please.

Regards,

Sukhi.

Well done sorting this out.

For screws, take a look here; https://lexus.7zap.com/en/eu/lexus+rx/524210/mhu38r-awxgkw/4/8101/813211i/

The screws seem to come with other parts/covers but I suspect any small self tapper will suffice, do you have any spare kicking around?

Thank for replying, I think I was not clear in my explanation.

I am after the retaining clips for the engine bay black trim, the clips are black and are a push fit that holds the Battery cover and other black trim secure. Please see the trim in question. (Black trim)

Ah okay, those clips are easy to find with plenty of suppliers online to choose from.

If needed, then use the 7Zap link to find the part number.

They're the ones with the push button centre aren't they? Bought a job lot ages ago when I had the IS and RX. Something like this or this.
