After a fuse is replaced
● If the lights do not turn on even after the
fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need
replacement. (

P.465)
● If the replaced fuse blows again, have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■ If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting
the wiring harness from damage.
■
When replacing light bulbs
Lexus recommends that you use genuine
Lexus products designed for this vehicle.
Because certain bulbs are connected to cir-
cuits designed to prevent overload,
non-genuine parts or parts not designed for
this vehicle may be unusable.

equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even
as a temporary fix.
