I realize some of these threads are old. But I just replaced my HID bulb and posting to multiple places so the next person can more quickly find info.
My passenger-side HID went out on my 2010 RX350 recently. I decided to replace the bulb myself to rule out the ballast and save money.
I wanted the same color so I purchased the Phillips 4300K D4S bulb from Amazon ($41, love Prime) instead of local Napa ($101) or dealer ($175). I also picked up 10-pack cover clips ($8) since old ones wouldn't hold very well.
I removed the clips/cover per the manual, disconnected the battery +cable, and followed these 9 steps: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es350-2007-2012/549357-hid-headlight-replacement.html
After reassembling everything, the headlight fired up but I lost usual seat/radio presets due to power disconnection. The unlabelled bulb was obviously fried.
Hope that helps someone.
