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.
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. Video was helpful
Can you tell us where you got the lights from because I got one it had the hole but not the motor and it had to put the old motor in it and it’s not working
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
I Appreciate u makeing this video because no where on TH-cam was there a headlight removal on a ES350 Wonder if u can do a video on removing the front fender on ES350 that would be awesome 🙏🏽
Sorry I won't be able to make a video of that anytime soon but here is a video of an is250 and the procedure should be very similar! th-cam.com/video/_o3CwsIqhO0/w-d-xo.html

I have a question, where did u purchase your assembly headlights upgrade? If u do mind me asking. It didn't go well, Collision shop said the ones I purchased and seller claimed they were the right fit , it actually was not right for my car.They refused to mess up my car trying to make lights fix. Very disappointed
Oh goodness, sorry to hear that. I got the ones for this car off Ebay. This car in the video have the HID lights from the factory with the self moving bulb. Where did you buy yours from? Did the ad say halogen or HID ?
Hi, I have the same year & model. Passenger low headlight burned out, put a new one and replaced the driver side as well to match. The passenger side does not light. I hear a buzzing sound. The driver side is okay. Would you know anything about such an issue?
What’s up man good video very informative and good walk through. I had a question where did you buy those headlights and do you know of any new headlights for a 2012 es 350 that are LED?
Thanks for video!!! This video helped out so much and gave me hope to replace them. Funny thing is I ordered from same place. My model is a 2012 es350...should it be the same way to install?
The 2012 has slightly updated body parts but it should be very similar so I don't expect you to hit any major snags! Good luck and post back after you do it. If you do hit a snag, post here and I'll try to help.
I own a 2008 Lexus es350 do you know if they come with factory hid ? Because I ordered some led bulbs and I wanna know if they will work or not because I’m Not Sure weather the 2008 Lexus ES350 comes with factory hid my lights that originally came with the car are very bright I can tell they are hid by the way they start up Slowly
Some 2008 models came with regular halogen headlights. Can you post upload a video of your hood up and different angles of the headlights? If there appears to be a lot of wires coming out of the rear of the headlight, it might be aftermarket.

Hey FIY, you never did demonstrate how your aftermarket AFS headlight set worked, that being if they move up or down or even sideways when you turn the steering wheel. Can you make such a video? That would be the icing on the cake.
Hi, I think there is an issue with this car's stability links which is setting off the AFS light so we just turned it off. I'll try to make a video of that repair when the weather warms up, but for now, here is a video of someone else fixing it on their Lexus gs350: th-cam.com/video/tNTKv6SpwMI/w-d-xo.html
No, they seem just as powerful as the old ones. They use the same bulb as the old ones. This was only replacing the headlight housing so it shouldn't affect power.
I have a question I have a 2011 ES 350 it came with halogen projector headlights. Would I be able to just throw a HID bulb in there? Since it's projector already or what I have to get a conversion kit? Thank you 😊 To be honest they look like your original headlights similar to the projector halogen
Sorry sir, I'm not certain about that question! Maybe you can go to the auto parts store and they can pull up a list of interchangeable bulbs or possibly give info on kits. But know this, 2007 to 2009 had different shape headlights than the 2010 to 2013 models even though they look the same. Good luck!

They are pretty good. The only semi difficult part was adjusting the beam after installation due to the tight space to stick a wrench in there and the amount of times to turn the screw. But definitely better that the old ones that had been letting water in.
