The headlight assembly on a Lexus ES330 should be replaced if the outer lens seal fails and separates from the main housing. Moisture will enter the housing assembly and can cause a catastrophic failure of the headlight or an electrical short--or both. Replacement headlight-housing assemblies can be purchased from most auto parts stores or directly from Lexus. The Toyota/Lexus factory original replacement headlights may have a better fit and finish than some aftermarket headlight housing assemblies.
Step 1 - Unbolt the 10mm bolt that secures each headlight assembly in place with a socket wrench and pull the center grille off your Lexus ES330 with your hands.
Step 2 - Unscrew the screw that holds the corner light to the headlight housing using a screwdriver.
Step 3 - Remove the corner headlight housing assembly.
Step 4 - Unbolt the 10mm bolts that hold the headlight assembly to the frame using a socket wrench.
Step 5 - Pull the headlight housing forward and out of the chassis.
Step 6 - Unplug the electrical connector from the back of the headlight ballast and slide the housing the rest of the way off the chassis.
