Default Purchasing bulbs off Ebay
I have a xenon headlight out on my 2001 IS300 and I am looking to get replacement bulbs. I believe that I have the 4300K and I was looking to go brighter. Has anyone had any experience purchasing these off Ebay? I have been going searching through the listings and feedback on Sellers, but I was just wondering if anyone on this forum has actually bought some. If so could you let me know how the bulb was and how the transaction was. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

4300K is the brightest for HID.

Oh. What is the difference in the numbers then? Do they get duller as the number goes up? Please help!

If you want the brightest bulbs possible, while staying with a quality OEM brand I would upgrade to the Philips D2S 85122+ bulbs.

Just a thought.

D2S will yield slightly more output than D2R seeing there is no shield on the bulbs glass.

There is no need to worry about glare because your housings are OEM HID.
