Replaced the bulbs this weekend. The first time I went through it I apparently didn't seat the bulbs correctly and it looked horrible driving at night. Pulled them back out yesterday morning and finally got them to grab correctly (I hoped at the time). Took it out last night and it looks like it did before, so I guess its correct now haha. Lexus made that such a convoluted process - especially for people with big hands!

So all good now with just bulbs? If so, that's great news.

Agreed, those of us with larger hands are very challenged by this task.

Yep, no more pink tint or cutting out. Glad I posted it up here because I was ready to pull the trigger on the ballast!

Thanks! Sorry I am kinda MIA right now - it'll be slow moving now that we are getting closer to the holidays. I will get it back on the dyno soon though to get these final numbers!
