Here's a link to the Sylvania "what fits my car" website, a good site to bookmark!

No, wait, I believe that's incorrect information for his application.

For ES, GS, SC and RX most years use 9006 for low and 9005 for high. For non-HID LS's depending on the year will be 9004 or H4.

But for the LX, 1999 and up, the lows are H1, highs are 9005 and fogs are H3.

ok this is just ridiculous. My owners manual says 6000 for lows. But i went out t o check for myself and to clear the confusuion.
they are indeed h1 bulbs 2 bulbs on each side. so a total of 4!!! wow.

wow lexus needs to get thier facts straight, cause thats really sad that they printed 6000 in thier book. cause no way are they 6000.

they are the same bulbs that go in my 2000 honda prelude. H1.

Ok, now I'm confused. Where/why do you need 2 bulbs on each side?
Low beam = 1xH1
High beam/DRL = 1x9005
Fog light = 1xH3
Parking light = 1x2825 (aka 194)
Turn signal = 1x1157A

That should be all the lights on either side? What am I missing?
