Default Replacing Low beam headlight bulbs w/LED

I know I'm looking for a D4S
type LED bulb.

Does anyone know the wattage
and part number from jdmtoy
to replace the OEM bulb with
the whiter LEDs ? like 6000k

Do you need load resistors?
Do you need decoders ?
This is for a 2006 sc430

thanks.

...not sure about the led bulbs & whether you need decoders or not. I just recently switched mine to 6k hid & they were plug & play

I was informed by a tech from ijmdtoy if your car come with HID lights (OEM), there is a bit of work to convert them to LED lights.

I changed nearly all my lamps to LED except the HID system and turn signals. I changed the daylight running lamp/High Beam to a compatible LED wich required decoders. In doing this, I lost the "true" high beam feature (ie. a few more LED's light on the bulb but not enough to be considered "brigheter, but I don't need state inspection and I rarely use high beam anyway since the low beam HID is pretty bright. https://www.clublexus.com/g/album/232911
