I received the email. There is really nothing I missed.

I'll try to get in touch with them tomorrow. There is definitely something wrong. These are definitely for the high beams though. The lights don't fit the low beam sockets.

The guy at Proxenon comfirmed that the 9005 were designed for low beams, but the 9005 bulb type doesn't fit the low beam (only the high beam). Because the kit has it's own bypass, the high beams will then stay on and not turn off.

That's my problem. I am atttempting to confirm with the manual that the bulb type is a 9006. Will know shortly

Default ProXenon =foot in mouth

THe guy at proxenon told me for sure the 9005 fits the lowbeams , when I e-mailed him back he said it was the 9006.

When I told he that he was wrong, he told me that he knows the 9006 fits because he knows of a person who installed them.

He also told me that you can not use the 9005 on the highbeams.

I am buying from
www.brightheadlights-hid.com
they know what they are doing

Default Confirmed Application

Your New GX470 Low Beam Application is

H11 application. This is the newest halogen model for most European Cars. But unlikely Lexus in US market are using the H11.

We have try serveral times to contact our Asia Distributor, they have confirmed that GX450-470 in Japan and Asia are using 9006 for low beam and 9005 for Hi-Beam.

It is very unusual that this application problems has occured to our Tech Department.

Since H11 is a brand new Halogen Application, none other HID Conversion have H11 right now. We have submit this application to our Manufactur, they will release the H11 in two weeks.

We just got a test sample here.

- Retrofit Filiment adapter for H11 only.
- Xenon bulb is half the size of regular 9006 capsules.
- 6000K Color Only

Also,

In the same time our very own H3 Retrofit is releasing.

- Retrofi Filiment adapter for H3 Only
- Xenon Bulb is half the size of regular H1 Bulb.
- 6000K Color Only.

Sorry for all the mistake that we have cause to the new customer. Just that both side of our source is lack of the newly information, that Lexus is releasing the US GX470 with H11 bulbs. Cuz GX470 was sold in asia market a year ago, and with 9006 lowbeam applications.
