I need to replace the outer drivers side door handle on a 1995 Lexus LS400. Does anyone have a guide, service manual link, or tutorial I can use to learn how to do this?

I have a couple tutorials on this. They're for a first gen but the concepts are almost the same: http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/body/

There is a much smaller hole and plastic in it that I cannot remove. If I can remove this white/clear plastic, that has a rod going through it for the inner door handle, I can remove the two screws in your STEP 1. Anyone know how to get to those screws or remove this plastic?

Mine had clear plastic too, just pull it off so you can see what you have to work with. If your 95 doesn't have the top access hole the first gens do your job is going to be more difficult. Maybe post a pic showing what you have.

Did anyone ever find a resolution for 1995-1997 LS400's? I have a friend with a 1997 LS400 that needs me to replace his outer door handle but I'm wondering about the issue dejacky experienced.

Hi, working to replace the outside driver handle on my 1996 LS 400. Pulled the door panel off and getting the old handle off is proving to be very difficult and not intuitive at all. Any help would be wonderful.
Thank you
