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.

CAREFULLY TRY TO TWIST BULB HOLDER COUNTERCLOCK WISE TO REMOVE IT.

The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly, behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator support.

You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam (separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal adjustment screws as well

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.

the O2 sensor for bank one sensor one is located between the catalytic converter and the engine in the exhaust head pipe. see photo of your engine cylinder layout, the sensor u want to replace is the one at the cylinder #1 bank on right.

This is one of the easiest fixes you can do on your lexus...all thats needed is just unscrew the canisters' holding the lightbulbs, they look like dome fixtures encasing the HID lights...once you unscrew those, the bulbs are held in place by simple snap components that actually hold the lights in place...pull the old lamps out...unplug them, and then reverse this procedure....it took me all of 15 minutes, and a savings of $1000 to do this...
