I'm being quoted around $500 to replace just the front bulbs in the standard night time lights (not the fog or hi-beams). The bulbs apparently cost $175 each. This is from a lexus dealership. Does this sound right to you? Will other places be able to do this for less? Thanks for the help.

If anyone has info on how to do this myself that would be great.

 

Just get an aftermarket HID kit off Ebay for the fronts or buy the same bulbs. That is a joke.

 

Is there a way to look up what the appropriate kit is? It seems like there's a lot of confusion on line about this.

 

I'm seeing that it is a D2R bulb online.

 

Would you mind linking where you see that?

 

I looked several places...

are you looking to replace just the low beam bulbs? if yes then those cost around $10-20.

 

From my research and the help of those above, the low beams are HID lights (D2R as noted above) which run around ~100 each. I bought them myself and took them to a shop who put them in for $130, so a total cost of around 330.

 

$330 just to replace the low beam bulbs??? you're getting ripped off.

 

I don't think so. HID bulbs are expensive.

 

um no.. i just swapped out the stock low beam HID bulbs on my 2002 lexus is300 last weekend, total cost $12 shipped.

i dont know how you ended up paying $330?

The OEM bulbs are expensive, especially from the dealer, sure. There are many reasonable aftermarket alternatives, though. I have used the Kensun brand with good success.

 

Just purchased some aftermarket bulbs for 19.99 shipped. No way I would spend that much on a HID bulb especially when you can purchase a complete quality kit for 129.
