I posted the picture.
There is only one way to uninstall the mirror.
As shown in the small pic at previous page.

If one scare of doing it, then go to lexus dealer.
I'm sure that in US a lot of lexus dealers exists.

Better to pay money, then to break something.

I was able to get the driver side done without removing the mirror (just tilting it sideways and removing 2 outside corner screws. It was a PAIN in the ***, but can't seem to get the passenger side without stripping the screws.

It feels like I'm going to break something when I try and pull the mirror off from the bottom. I understand how it works with the clips on bottom and slide from the top, but when you can't see what's happening it's a little freaky. Not to mention there not cheap to fix.

I agree. I'm afraid to pop the mirror out like all the DIY pictures i've seen. I just want to fix my driver side because it doesn't move up or down.

This is how I did it without remove the housing.....took me less than $15 for both side.

Wow that looked pretty simple.. If that's the case, I'm buying brighter bulbs ASAP. What year is your 3GS? And what bulbs did you go with?

j0emama

I didn't know you could just pop them out that easy. How bout putting them back in, just as simple?

ashley1977

I got 06 GS430, and the bulb I use for my car is in the pix below (On right)








Putting them back is more easy than to have them pop out.....just push hard

^ if I have to do it again I'm gonna put in HID.

That worked well, thanks for the tip! A little bit of a pain and still felt like I was going to break something, but all turned out ok. Much better than taking apart entire housing like I did for driver side.

Aside from PUDDLE LIGHTS turning on as you approach your car, how do you toggle them on/off. In the picture you have your headlights on and the puddle lights on...?

masterchri

Sorry for the noob question, but you got a size and link perhaps to where you got the bulbs from? I was considering ordering them from vled just need to know which exact one to get

masterchri

Nevermind. I found em on the VLED website. The flank and 360 style are sold out of their brightest bulbs. If I were to pick up the forward style, would it still light up the ground?

j0emama

Yes and lights it up well. I was in the same predicament you were and glad I went with the forward style, very bright.

Just put the gear to "PARK" and press driver side unlock button
