Your front bulb burnt out?

Yes believe so but why is it clicking rapidly? Safety feature from toyota? Also was concerned about side blinkers next to headlights. I thought they blinked also?? Maybe wrong? Anyone with a LX try and report back?

It's because the resistance on that circuit has changed, most older cars do this when a bulb is burnt out. The corner marker lights do not blink on an LX.

And you can search for several good threads on how to remove the light, think there's one in the FAQ too.

For me it was a pain in the ass - couldn't figure out where to get the damn thing into the '06 housing. A local cruiser shop ended up doing it while they inspected it during the purchase process.
