SOURCE: how do I change the right license plate bulb.

this ones kind of tough for an amateur. You need to pop off most of the little black retainers holding the trunk lid liner on. then theres the emergency handle that you use to get out if your locked in the trunk. you need to pull on the far end of the handle and the outer cover will come off. you may need a small screwdriver to remove it. then pull straight down, really hard and the handle will come off. then remove the rest of the liner. the bulbs are 194a bulbs. available pretty much anywhere. reinstall in the reverse order.

How to change license plate bulb on a 2001 lexus ls430

Not, easy!
The Bulb comes out from the inside of the Trunk

So, you need to remove the Truck lid inside panel (See Video), reach up behind where the light attaches on the trunk lid, twist the Bulb socket out a 1/4 turn same direction ya unscrew a Jar lid and the Bulb pulls straight out (do not turn the bulb in the socket). Installation is reverse of what I just wrote.

I have a 1995 lexus sc 400 and my brake lights will not come on i replaced all bulbs and all fuses is good changed brake switch and still nothing any ideas? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did you check the grounding points? if you have access to the wire diagram that would help. try measuring power at the fuse first. if theres power there then try the bulb socket. if theres no power there then you have a wiring problem.

How do I change the license plate lights on a 1997 Lexus ES 300?

Open the deck lid (trunk) to better access the lights. There will be 2 of them. Recommend replacing both at the same time even if only one has failed. Generally sold in pairs anyway.

Directly above the license plate will be mounted 2 clear light covers. On the right side of each light cover you can see a small plastic rivet. Push in the center 1/4 inch with a small screwdriver then you will be able to pry out and remove the rivet without damaging it. This will save you from buying replacement plastic rivets for re-installation. Remove the light cover with the bulb harness attached.

The bulb harness requires a short turn counter clockwise to remove it from the light cover and the new bulbs snap into the harness. No twisting or screwing. Replace the bulb harness the same way and fasten the light cover back into place using the plastic rivet.

Saves time because both bulbs and light covers are exactly the same style, there is no left or right. Cheers!

Tag light is not working on 2002 Lexus GS300

I'm guessing you are referring to the license plate light. There are two bulbs. Pretty rare for both to go out at the same time. It could be the fuse. You can check if the fuse location by looking at your owners manual.

I think the license plate bulb is W5W LL. (Check to make sure). You can find the bulb a your local auto store, Walmart, Target, etc....
