Lexus ES 330 Side Marker Lights

Side marker lights for Lexus ES 300 make it easier for other vehicles to see you at intersections, when youre turning, and in low-visibility conditions. They are amber in color, and are found on the front end of your Lexus. These lights are an important safety feature and should be replaced as soon as possible if they are damaged.

Why do you need new side-marker lights for your Lexus?

Side markers are mandated on cars in the US, and have been since the late 1960s. Some marker lights flash at the same time as your turn signals, but not all do. Many just emit a steady glow. In the US market, these lights are always amber in color. The following are the different components of side-marker lights.

  • Bulbs: Your Lexus ES 300 uses clear miniature bulbs in the side-marker light set-up. These are a standard size, but make sure to check the burned-out lamp before purchasing a replacement, to make sure you have the right base shape and wattage.
  • Light housing: The cover for your side markers is made of amber acrylic plastic. Its a durable part, but can be cracked or shattered with heavy impact. Make sure the replacement list is your Lexuss model year.
  • Socket: Sometimes water collects in the socket and can cause bulbs to short out. Replacing this part may be key to having a working side marker.
How do you install side-marker lights in your Lexus?

Installation for your replacement marker lights is easy, once you know where to look. The screw for the side markers is near your wheel. Youll have to remove the mudguard to find it. Once youve unscrewed it, youll be able to remove the acrylic part and access the bulb. Some people go through the fog light, which is also quick and easy. Remember to check that youre purchasing the right light cover for the side of your Lexus ES 300 thats affected. They are typically marked "driver side" and "passenger side."

Can you troubleshoot the side-marker lights?

Your side markers should come on at the same time as your taillights and parking lights do. They should always be on at night, so your Lexus ES 300 is visible to other drivers. If the lights arent operating as they should, a good idea is to check the fuses and voltage in the lighting assembly. If those aren’t the problem then you probably need a replacement.
