Where to replace a broken factory HID?
Should I go to the Lexus dealer to get my HID fixed? or Should I buy an aftermarket bulb? I also want to install HID for my fog light, so my another question is does an aftermarket HID fit in my car fog light?
P/s: My HIDs are factory stock.

Dont go to the dealer unless you want to waste your money
Do you know for a fact that the bulb is the issue and not the ballast? If so, you need a replacement D4S HID bulb. I would suggest to replace both bulbs, otherwise the color is going to look off.
You need a 9006 HID kit for your fogs

No, it will not affect it at all.
You'll see lots of people on here recommending XenonDepot HID kits and there's a reason for it. Pick up a 9006 kit for your fogs in 6000k and a set of D4S bulbs in 6500k. The two together will be just under $200 shipped if you use the coupon codes. You'll be AMAZED at the difference!

In order to use the two different coupon codes for the D4S bulbs and the HID kit, you'll have to place two separate orders.

Search? Can we search, this is such an easy answer to find.
Def NOT the dealer. Replace BOTH bulbs at same time through someone like Steve at Xenondepot. Bulbs wont affect the auto-level.
Same with your foglights, you'll need a HID kit. So therefore you need bulbs and Fog Light kit that are same such as 6500K. Good Luck!
