Cheap D4S Philips 42402
Do they still put out the same lumens? What temp are they? Cheaper sounds good, and if its OEM now that's even better. I just want to make sure that its not at a light output cost.
I figure for $54 its worth a shot... Bought 2. Too bad no prime shipping... I'll post up once they are installed.
EDIT - I cancelled my Amazon order and found the same vendor on ebay for $12 less...
But I had to pay CA sales tax though.

Anyone officially know what color the Toshiba-Harrison OEM bulbs are? I'm looking to get as close to 5000k as possible, but cant seem to find a QUALITY bulb in that range.
Only thing I could find is this, and it doesnt really mean sheit to me....

Installed the toshibas and they work great. I think I may have installed one upside down because light output is ever so slightly less stronger on one side. Beam doesn't seem as focused but pretty much they look identical. I had no idea that xenons lose brightness over time. Made a huge difference.

Here's my review of the XenonDepot Xtreme 5000K HID low beam bulbs for the 2IS. I'm really happy with them and highly recommend them. They're also deeply discounted right now due to a Club Lexus-only discount code:

Wanted to answer a few questions I saw:
1. Toshiba (Harison) bulbs are now the OEM bulb for Lexus/Toyota. I believe Honda has also started using them in lieu of Philips bulbs.
2. The bulbs have the same light output and color as Philips 42402 D4S bulbs, but they retain their output for a longer period of time.
3. New bulbs will always be whiter and brighter than old ones. Old bulbs experience color-shifting, whereby they change color to a slight blue tinge over time. Their light output also decreases over time. I always advise customers to change two bulbs at the same time, just as I do on my cars.
