    Nice video bud. I saw another one where the guy didn't have swivel headlights and getting that ballast wire out was a nightmare for him.
    Im about to swap ballast on my 2013 es300h.

    My 07 Lexus ES350 is turning into a money pit. Entire suspension system, two motor mounts, ok, brakes all around; now these ultra expensive headlights. I never mentioned the premium unleaded. I do love driving it though. The Japanese make some the most reliable cars in the world to include this. They need to get out of that over engineering hole. Keep it simple. That is what made Toyota who they are. I will never stop buying them though.

    Good video if you want to change the entire headlight assembly. I just changed my hid bulb in my 2008 es350 without doing 90% of that. Although I have a lot of experience with it. If you are just changing the bulb, it doesnt require all of the ripping the car apart at all. If you know what your doing, its literally a 5-10 min fix
