I have owned my 2010 IS 250 AWD for 4 1/2 years now. I do a LOT of night driving and have put 124,000 miles on her so far. I bought her new. I keep telling myself I bought her to keep until she dies with a minimum of at least 200,000 miles. I've never kept a car past 99k miles.

I am curious as to how many of you have had to replace your OEM bulbs because they actually died, and how old your IS is....and miles driven.

yea one of my 06 HID burned out, swapped them side to side to make sure it wasnt the ballast. I got a new phillips OEM one off ebay for $40. Then the new bulb was much brighter than the old one so I got another. Its way brighter than it ever was when I bought it new.

How do you know which philips bulbs on eBay are real? There are so many fakes.

Go to vleds and buy it there. I just got mine the other day. 69 dollars shipped. The lights bulbs is d4s. That's the model you need to get for your headlights. I got the 5k ones because it's close to stock and bright. Btw, my car is 2007 is250

Just ordered new HID low beams (my 09 came with halogens, so this is a conversion "kit" plug and play), marker lights (the little one that sits beside your drl) and fogs from HIDPH mainly for aesthetics, but also for better vision. the oem lights arent that bright, so theres room for improvement (why i bought them)

Though I'm not the original owner of my '06 IS350, I'm fairly confident I'm still running on the OE low-beam HIDs.

my passenger side 08 is250 with 98k miles just went out so I just got new ones in the mail..just a matter of when I'm actually gonna put mines in but definitely always do both at the same time for color/brightness wise and also if one goes the other probably will too
