i have a 01 gs430 i had purchased some aftermarket 6000k d2r bulbs from a guy but when i put them in the harness they wouldnt click into it and lock plz advise

thanks

 

Are you sure the bulb connector is turned the right way? the D2R and D2S lock in the same way.

 

you DO have factory HID right....

otherwise yea, any D2-style bulb will fit.

 

Unless his headlights were swapped out, all GS430's came with HID from factory. It should work, even a D2S bulb should work. Make sure it has the two prongs sticking out on opposite sides.

 

correct, HID is standard on all gs430

if it's d2r, it should fit

d2s, it will not fit. not unless you use dremel to create a **** on the opposite side. the **** location helps determine if it's d2s or d2r (officially. some aftermarket companies they just have the ***** on both sides)

This is why it won't work, I hope this helps.

 

BTW;

The Philip's bulb you want to buy would be the 85126+.

The actual harness (connector) locks in the same way whether its d2s or d2r. What wont fit is the base to the housing. But nothing a little dremeling work can't fix

 

I've put both D2S and D2R bulbs in my projectors with no problems or modifications.

 

and it wasnt phillips? what the hell why wont these work then? i must be doing something wrong manb

 

I don't know if it's different on HID reflector bowls as I have never had them.

 

im going to take a pic of the bulb so u guys can see it

 

take a pic and we will go from there

 

Just tell us left or right. C'mon guy!

 

I also have a blown headlight on a 99 GS400 and I need a 4300k HID bulb. I dont want to pay $300 buying it from the dealer so I want to go with a Phillips bulb from XenonDepot.com but I want to replace it before the weekend. Is there any autoparts store I can buy one or is ordering them online the best option?
