Default Headlight Bulb Replacements

My 13' Luxury Headlight bulbs are starting to die out... D4S is the style and I want to stick with OEM options. I came across some on Amazon & eBay but what do you guys think?

Amazon Amazon

I'll also change out the fog lights to some H11 LED bulbs
Any other suggestions for the D4S other than OEM but have good quality? Thanks

Seems pretty cheap for oem parts, but would be good if genuine.

WTF the genuine ones cost $150 for each bulb:

What is Lexus smoking? I replaced mine with genuine Osram when I had HID's and those are top of the line HID bulbs and cost $150 for a set of two.

It's kind of hard to believe your getting genuine ones that cheap, I guess you wouldn't know otherwise. Could also be good fakes from China, but if they work they work, and your only gambling $35.

I would use Philips or Osram DS4 HID Bulbs to replace OEM bulbs

You may get them cheaper, if you shop around but i would never trust anything that says OEM HID and only cost $35 per bulb plus OEM bulbs would never be 6000K.

Thank you all for your replies back and for the links/products. Yes, for sure too cheap to be true - but I suppose it's worth the gamble. I came across some different ones that were confirmed to be authentic Philips and the seller has all positive reviews. It seems to be not "too cheap" as the other ones lol.

I've used Morimoto HID's in the past with my previous car and they're super bright and lasted 4+ years with no issues. Great affordable option worth checking out.
