exiakira: I'm biased but these Philips T10 194 bulbs have been super popular.

Doing good Steve, just installed those 6K Ultinons a few days ago. Is the color supposed to shift a bit? They look a litte too white for 6K

bob4256: Yes they will color shift, allow them to settle in a bit and they should reach its 6000K rating. Usually after about 100 hours of usage.

Here is a year old thread about the XenonDepot D4S bulbs if you are interested:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lig...ount-code.html

This particular member reviewed the 5000k color temperature as he wanted to get a little more color out of his stock bulbs but still maintain a lot of useable light output.

Coupon code CLGB08 upon checkout gets you a $20 discount per bulb.

I'm not 100% certain but I think that Lexus started using Harrison bulbs after Philips bulbs.

does anybody know if there is another kit besides the DENSO OEM one that fit directly in the space for the ballast on the new LED2011 headlights?

I had hallogens before so now I need bulbs and ballast...

nope, 2011+ headlights only takes OEM ballast.

HOWEVER, you can make aftermarket ballasts fit if you really wanted to but i wouldn't recommend that

Hey Steve,

I tried ordering some bulbs and it states the coupon code is not valid. Is there a new coupon code?

Shoganai - What item are you using that coupon code for? It only works for our Xtreme D4S bulbs.
