Replacement headlight bulb question
I apologize for what may be a dumb question concerning a replacement headlight bulb. I ordered an exact replacement for my 2008 ES350. It is a Phillips 35W D4S #42402. The bulb I am replacing as well as the one in the "picture" on the website from the company I ordered it from were identical. When I received the bulb I found the numbers match up and the bulb looks identical except for the fact there is what appears to be a plastic covered filament that extends from the tip of the bulb up, outward and down to the base of the black housing. I am not sure what this is and if it is installed "as is" or if this is a "removable" piece and is just there to keep it from being damaged during shipping. Thx much and any help would be appreciated!
