[Rick IS200]

Hi is there a how to on the interior light bulb.Ive got a blue LED one to put in but im heavy handed and scared of breaking the housing lol ive done loads before on other cars just never a lexus and this one seems well made.

dont worry be careful and you wont break anything. only takes 5 mins...

ok actually its 1 minute 39 seconds. oh and depending on the LED bulb you have if you insert it and it does not light up flick it the other way round and try again.

Hi mate thats not for a lexus though and im sure i read some where that the lense doesnt come out

same as lexus mate i fitted mine couple of months ago.

1. turn the switch button to the 'OFF' option
   
2. Pull the plactic casing out with a thin flat screw driver carefully as seen in the vid
   
3. gently pull the old bulb out by moving/pressing the metalic looking lever or clip to release the bulb.
   
4. fit the new bulb by pressing the clip/lever whilst inserting the bulb and test by turning the switch to 'ON' if it does not light up remove the bulb and rotate it 180 degress and try again as most do not have the positive or negative labelled on either side so worth trying either sides until it lights up.
   
5. refit your plastic casing by feeding the outer pointing edges on the plasctic case into the holes of the main light housing.
   
6. you now have LED's :)
   

Trust me its not complicated.

...or get your fingers into the front edge and pull down while lightly pressing the middle so it flexes slightly.

It is very tight the first time but don't worry.

You're right, its not the lens but the complete grey surround too.
