How to change / replace the headlamp ballast on a Lexus IS250 /IS350 / ISF *STEP-BY-STEP*

If this video helped you at all, please help me by hitting that thumbs up button! :)

I created this video as a REAL step-by-step tutorial for replacing the headlamp ballasts on a 2011-2013 Lexus IS250, IS350, and ISF. There are shorter videos on youtube showing the same thing, but this is the only one that shows you every single step from start to finish without cutting out any important bits for beginners and those with little experience like myself.

I have left all parts of the repair, including me unscrewing each bolt in this video due to feedback from viewers on previous videos. If you found it annoying I apologize but a lot of people want to really see everything on video!

**This will NOT work on older style headlamps without the LED check-mark daytime running lights!!!**

****UPDATE: DO NOT BUY THE AUTOZONE BALLAST. PLEASE BUY GENUINE LEXUS. THE AUTOZONE BALLAST KEPT BURNING OUT. OVER THE PAST YEAR I WENT THROUGH 8 OF THEM BEFORE FINALLY BUYING LEXUS BRAND BALLAST AND IT HAS BEEN PROBLEM FREE EVER SINCE!****
