Default Headlight Bulb

Looking for a headlight bulb. I checked with lexus and they want 400.00. That's way too much for my taste.

I am guessing since Lexus wants that much it's got to be HID.

Do a search on ebay....PHILIPS D2R

That should save you some money.

There are many CL Vendors that offer great prices on bulbs, also check eBay - make sure they are genuine.

I have my set of D2R's as well, if you can work something out with these guys, put me on the list but by all means give those who spoke up first, first oppurtunity, I don't want to step on toes, just throwing another option out there for you.
