2010 Lexus RX 350 Tail Light Fix | How to Replace Burned out Running Lights

[@tnlinh]

Super well done video!!! One hand does the work, the other holds camera. Excellent real-time demo / introduction. Impressed.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Thanks a bunch!

[@dustyj22]

i just got a 2015 rx and your videos are so helpful and informative. i do not need to replace anything right now, but when the time comes, i'll know what to do.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

sounds good!

[@sgordon7413]

This was more helpful than others who show taking most of the plastic bottom cover off and removing the left rear tire to do so. The right side is easy to get to without taking that small cover off. I easily got my hand in there and removed/replace that bulb in about one minute. The left side does not have this nice open clearance so I just removed the two screws towards the back of the plastic panel, pushed it upwards and this gave my arm enough clearance to reach the bulb socket, remove and replace the bulb. Took about 5 minutes total on the left side. Much easier than I anticipated after watching other videos removing so much more than they needed to. Thanks for this video.

[@RussHodes]

I agree. I cut the access hole open about to more inches on the outside, which allowed me to get my forearm all the way in. It's a bugger, but I got it done. My forearm is like Popeye's arms, so just be ware !

[@CarolinaCowboys]

LOL whatever works!

[@CJSkip]

Thanks!

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Thank you very much!

Best vid on YT for this repair, thanks

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Glad you liked it!

[@loyddelcore1059]

Great video on the bulb replacement. Do you have a video on the liftgate tail light bulb replacement? Thanks Again.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Hmm, I did this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/onu3lpqubthsiq8 and this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jNpIp9j9x7eMU hopefully they will help!

[@lskdangki]

This video helps. Have you ever removed the rear bumper? Video of the bumper removal would be cool. Thanks

[@CarolinaCowboys]

If I get a hitch then I'll probably have to do it

[@phonkyfeel1]

I’ve had many issues with installing led lights where the car is wired for halogen….making the leds flicker etc.. I already know about retrofit kits and resistors to offset the electrical differences. I’m curious if you have had similar issues replacing halogen bulbs with led “bulbs”

[@CarolinaCowboys]

I haven't had any issues at all putting in the LED bulbs. I think those issues were with older cars that only had incandescent bulbs, but the newer cars have a mixture of both.

[@drewborgholthaus2010]

How have the LEDs held up? I replaced 4 bulbs, 2 on my Lexus like yours and 2 on my Prius C and all 4 have started sporadically flickering after ~6months so I’m trying to find a brand that may have better performance and hoping it’s an issue w/the quality of bulbs and not the lower resistance of the LEDs vs Halogen.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

You never know with these brands, but I haven't had any issues with mine!

[@ewills8644]

Thank you, just got pulled over for my back light.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Oh no! I hope you didn't get in trouble

[@gemband99]

Hello, are the bulbs you have linked in the description the same as the ones you use for the liftgate brake lights? I've tried two different lights and neither have worked

[@CarolinaCowboys]

No, these bulbs are for external, and I did this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jNpIp9j9x7eMU for the internal lights which is what you need.

[@BlessitsJeff]

This helped! Thanks

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Bless its Jeff awesome!

[@XBOPEBOYZX]

Great video very helpful

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Awesome, glad it was helpful!

[@RussHodes]

OK - I did it. The right side bulb is easy enough to reach without removing any of the plastic splash pan. The left side requires a lot more disassembly unless you have a skinny arm to reach through the towing hook access hole. My arm is muscular, so I had to cut out the plastic access hole by 2 extra inches. That one is more difficult because of the tow bar. 15 minutes

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Nice job!

[@dietmaramelang2592]

I saw a video where one bolt of the tow bar was removed, the other loosened, and the bar rotated out of the way for access. Have not tried it, but an idea

[@NguyenNguyen-rv9yw]

Good video. Thank you.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@stevmarc5425]

thanks bro! btw tailpipe might be hot too.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

True but the car wasn't running, I just had the lights on the whole time and they heat up fast!

[@justo4461]

Great video!

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carson3315]

thanks!

[@ho316]

Any problems after a year with these brand LED bulbs? Any flickering?

[@CarolinaCowboys]

So far so good, I haven't had any issues

[@grandvilles]

Thanks for the help!!👍🏽👍🏽

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Your welcome!

[@bhl2447]

You are thebest !!!

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Appreciate the love!

[@tbates860]

How do you replace the footwell lights . Thanks

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Hi, I haven't needed to do that but I will look into it. Stay tuned!

[@tbates860]

Thanks CC also I want to change my reverse lights to LED I know they have a compartment in the tailgate.

[@tbates860]

Hey CC how do you replace the floor lights on the driver and passenger side upfront ? Thanks by the feet.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Hey Terrance, I'm going through old comments, did I ever answer you?

[@MikeHammondTexas]

Thank You Helped alot!

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Glad to hear!

[@lorr...852]

awesome!

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Thanks!

[@spicydogsoup]

why didn't you turn off the car before changing the bulbs?

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Because I like to see the light come on before I put everything back together

[@masterlast4139]

Thanks

[@CarolinaCowboys]

I just replaced the interior lights - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jNpIp9j9x7eMU

[@TaraVon]

I’m trying to replace mine but those screws are so badly rusted that I can’t get them off. And my hand can’t reach up to grab the actual light bulb. Ugh. Pain in the a**.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

You could try some WD40 in there

[@wat6592]

they still light up?

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Yep, all working good

[@FRANCHISPORTS]

Just undo the back two screws by the rear of the car and it save a lot of time.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

That's interesting

[@FRANCHISPORTS]

I just did all my lady’s in led bulbs. No problem

[@FRANCHISPORTS]

And a red light bulb is not good for a red brake light lens. Just use white or clear bulbs. Only use the red in a clear housing if need be. Same with orange lenses as well. Only color bulbs in a clear housing.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

[@gegwen7440]

As the original most probably (lasted years) I would simply fit another OE bulb.

[@CarolinaCowboys]

I prefer the LED white more than the incandescent white
