Default 2004 es330 Need headlight Info

Just bought an 04 es330 and I'm trying to figure out what lights i have and where to purchase a replacemant, My car has the rain sensing wipers and i think the option package included hid headlights but these look just like halagen lights to me, except for the super white light they emit, they are auto leveling and I think one is cracked and would like to replace it,

My car has the same thing and they are HID Xenon lights.

This should help:

Also the bulbs do have a 50 to 100 hour break in period so if you replace only one bulb then one side will be brighter/a different color then the other side so I would replace both at once.

The OEM part number is: 81185-33461

Amazon has the driver and passenger assemblies for about $135 each with free shipping.

I think the self leveling feature is separate from the housing and is connected to the lights themselves so these should work. I will try to find out more and I'l let you know

This has a picture of the general design for self leveling lights.

The lights aren't connected to the headlight assembly so they will work with the self leveling lights.
