I have a 2002 Ls430 and was able to change the headlight without removing the bumber.
If I rember correctly their are only two bolts that hold it in place. I put some duct tape on the bumper in front of the light ( to prevent scratching ) and was able to work it out . It is a tight fit but it is possible. Mike

is there also a 'pin' on the back of the headlight? I am trying to change the parking light that wen out but the headlight still won't seem to come out. Should i just 'tug' on it harder? Any help would be great. Thanks!

i know this is old, but i have been searching on any tips when removing the headlights. our LS has very bad condensation on the driver's headlight & the light stopped working. i replaced the bulb with a new one & still nothing. found a whole headlight on ebay that is in very good shape & came with a bulb & ballast, so i'm going to swap that in.
looking at the tabs that are on the assembly that is going to be installed, it looks like there are the 2 bolts on the top, but then one bolt on the bottom facing the side. to the person about that says the headlight is loose towards the bottom, i would guess that they broke that tab. but being a 2 year old post, i'm sure that can't be warrantied.
but the reason i'm bringing this back is to ask if anyone knows of an easy way to access that bolt without breaking the tab or having to remove the bumper? trying to remove the bumper just makes me a little nervous.
