I've been trying to find the perfect white bulbs for my headlights. I keep seeing Audis and BMWs with crystal white lights. Googled them and seen that they used LED bulbs and that Audis especially have some special LED headlights.

My question is, is there a bulb out there similar to its pure white and bright LED bulbs I can buy? I have an 2009 Lexus IS250.

Thanks guys.

You want LED for your low bean? 6000K -6500K is what you're looking for if you want for your lowbean.

Check out Amazon.com they got good price. Just bought pack of 2 for my IS350 HID low beam $56.

Do you guys know the fittings for the low, high/drl, and fog bulbs?

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the low beams are the H11?

Amazon shows me a lot of results and I'm not too sure about what I'm looking for still. I see some that looks like it comes with a ballast and some just as bulbs. I was sort of hoping it would be a literal bulb switch and not have to drill holes or anything like that.

Is ur car oem hid equipped? For oem hid equipped low beam d4s high beam/DRL 9005 fog light 9006 parking light 194 168 and if u have halogen low beam is h11 all other bulb are the same. U could use led kit but u need to becareful of buying led kit that the bulb will be able to fit inside the dust cover.. some led bulb are freaking huge and ofcourse u have drill through ur dust cover to wire the ballast. Led kit r not as bright as hid kit so take ur pick

Don't LED bulbs run at lower lumens? I think they're at 2500 lumens vs 3000 on HIDs at 5000k. I could be wrong.

LEDs are not as bright as HID but might be brighter than halogen. I think the newer Lexus cars use LEDs as well. I do wonder how long they last as LEDs decrease in light output as they aged (instead of burning out, they just become less bright over time).

I have been looking a little bit for something that would just plug into the car to replace the halogens, but I don't think such bulbs exist currently. All of them seems to need some sort of heat sink to dissipate the heat and a driver (I think it's equivalent to a ballast to HIDs).
