Can anyone tell me how to replace the LR Brake light on our 99 RX 300?? Does the the tailight assembly clip in or does it use screws??

Also, is it humanly possible to replace the spark plugs without taking it to the dealer, if so how??

Lift tail gate.
Popout the two plastic covers which are concealing the screw heads. Use a small flat head screw driver ,, you can see the slots to stick in the driver shaft.
I recall two 10mm screw heads. Remove them.
Swing the lense assembly away from the trunk.
1/4 twist to remove the bulb-holder.
Pull out the bulbs.
Before installing the new ones MAKE SURE the wires on the new bulb are centered. Use a tweezer or needle nose pliers (or the screw driver tip) to position the wire.
[If the wire is not cetered as you insert the bulb in socket it may have a loose connection]
Insert the bulb.
Twist back the socket.
Test the bulbs.
Clean the back side of the lamp assembly and RX body.
Angle back the assembly to lock in the outside edge.
Ensure wires dont pinch as you swing the assembley to the inner edge.
Snug tight the bolts.
Compare with the other side to see if the finish is even.
disassemble and re-assemble if needed.
Snap back the two plastic caps.
Voila . You are done!.


If you cut corners, it might come back to haunt you.
The reason I don't let others do work on my car is they tend to cut corner.
