Default HID bulb replacement for 2008 Lexus ES350?

I have a 2008 Lexus ES350. I have the HID bulbs. Where is the best place to purchase replacements (Rock Auto)? Does anyone have a part number or suggestions? Thanks so much!!

I don't know the best place to get a replacement bulb, but the part number is in the owner's manual. In case you don't have it, there's an electronic version somewhere on Lexus's website,

I purchased my new Xenon bulbs from power bulbs website for $153 shipped last year. Went after market because the OSRAM Xenarc Cool Blue Intense D4S are the best in the business for light output. Beware of fake counterfeits from eBay sellers. The real ones are made in Germany. The fakes are sold to make you think they are legit. Only buy these from a reputable retailer such as modbargains or powerbulbs.

Thanks for the info on bulb replacement. I have heard that the installation cost is quite expensive. Any comments?

Oh no-shouldn’t be. Any decent mechanic should be able to put the bulbs in for a minimal labor charge. I did mine myself a couple of weeks ago. First bulb on the driver side was a learning experience and then the passenger side took around 5 minutes.

it doesnt take to long to do it for people who are used to doing it on our cars.
i tried first time took me forever
however one time one of the ones the insurance company put in to replace when bad so i went back to the dealership that did the work and saw the tech took him like 2 minutes if not less

Agreed. I googled it, watched a couple of YouTube's, did it myself. I'm no mechanic, it was frustrating at first, the second light was much easier.
