Thumbs up Headlight/Foglight install help needed!

Ok so I have some new mods for my 1999 LS400 that I need to install but i'm not %100 sure how to do it. Before I go dive right into it i'd like to ask my CL brothers for some help so I don't end up screwing up my car.

Here's what I need to do:

1. Take out the corner lamp, do the thing where you heat the oven to 200 degrees then turn it off and put the lamp in so the glue softens and pull it apart (so I can take out the ugly orange reflector)

How do I remove the corner?

What compound do I use to reseal the headlights?

2. Install the new 9006 3,000k yellow blubs I got for my fogs.

Has anyone changed the bulbs in thier foglights before?

Will I need to remove the foglights or the front bumper or can I get at them from under the car?

3. Swap the blub for my DDRL with a 4 Led cluster (white) to get rid of the ugly orange.

Will I have to remove the headlights or can I get at them from the back?


Thanks in advance for the help! I'll post pics as soon as its done!

You might get an answer if you post this in the LS section. I just picked up a 2000 LS400 for work and will also be intrested on how to take out the corner lights. I think the front bumper will have to come off. Also you cant change out the DRL with LEDs because its your highbeam a 9005 bulb at half power thats being used. The led cluster you purchased most likely is a 194 wedge bulb which you can use in the clear bumper lights.
