Default Polarg M6 Install

What are the install instructions for the Polarg m6 for the wedge bulb? I see how to get the high beam bulb out but how about the other "lower" bulb? I checked super-lexus.com but the site seems to be down. Any help would be great!

Do a search on 'Polarg M6 Install'.

I did a complete write up with pics and everything.

LexusRules I think has the write up on his site too - can't remember his url right now.

I see the socket for the upper bright bulb, where it turns clockwise and you pull it out, but I dont see any socket for the lower bulb. Where is this at? I already read all the posts for "polarg install", but still not sure. I will probably post my own pics since it does not look like any socket is available to pull out for the lower bulb.

Not sure what else to say; the socket for the wedge bulb is at the bottom center of the housing. Are you sure you're not actually seeing the wedge bulb housing?

See this pic - what I have circled is the high beam socket; the wedge bulb socket is below that near teh center of the housing.

What year is your GS? You may just have your DRLs as lower wattage high beams.

Whgat I have circled should be it.

See how the wiring is threaded around the housing? Untuck it a little first so it looks like MY pic above. See how I untucked it a little? Try to extrapolate where it would end up, and look at this pic of yours.

Print out my full thread on how to do it before and take it outside with you.

That really should be it.
