Default 2013 GS 350 F-Sport Bulb type?

I'm looking to purchase new HID Bulbs for my Lexus. I was thinking either around 8k or 10k. i've had 10k Bulbs on my infiniti for 3 years and never had any problems with being pulled over, so why not right? :P

Anyways, I have been looking all around the internet to find the correct bulb to order.

I'm stuck between whether the D4R or the D2R would be the correct fit?

i was going with the D4S low beam 6000K Philips Ultinon . the high beam is D2S i believe. i'm trying to remember who switched their stock bulbs to aftermarket. i'll be doing my bulbs very soon.

Hmm, so which one should I get?

I don't really need Xenon bulbs as I would be fine with just have my 10k HID headlights.

Isn't there only one bulb? I thought the 3rd gens were the last of the separate high beam. I never played with the headlights on the ones I've been driving.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I think he was talking about Fog lights maybe?

Talk to the guys at Xenon Depot. I deal with Steve mostly. Great guy and will take care of CL people.
There is also Nigel, you can find them in the vendor section.

Either of those guys can tell you what you need.

As I go on their website, they don't have the option for 2013 GS 350 :/

I got all confused, had to Google up a close up. That is the one thing I love about the new ones. that extra lens is gone. Yeah it was signature with the SC's and 2nd/3rd gen GS's, But then Buick and every other copy-cat company started doing it.

Right, call them, ask for Steve.

I don't think so. Call a dealer of your choice and ask.

Here is your entire headlamp breakdown. Unfortunately it doesn't say what type the bulb is.

The 4GS use only 1 bulb for high & low beam. It's D4S bulb. I changed mine to Philips Ultinon 6K D4S. Not sure if you could find brand name D4S for 8K or 10K.

Ps: 6K seem less light/lumen output for me so I plan to put back the stock bulb.
