Well, my HIDs were installed by my Indy yesterday. As mentioned earlier, I decided to spend the extra money for the OEM bulbs from Lexus but at a fairly discounted price. I replaced both bulbs as is always suggested and of course the 17 year old HIDs are the originals. For those that are interested, without taking any pictures, this is what is printed on both bulbs.....Osram Kenarc D2R 35W 66050 Germany. The new bulbs were identical in every way but the 66050 might have been updated to 66250. I'm not absolutely sure. As you can see, these are not Philips bulbs. From what I can see after only driving a bit, the light is crisp white with no yellowing that I can notice. My headlight housings were professionally reconditioned last year so they are just about as clear as new housings. For what it's worth, my Indy did not remove the assembly but took the bulbs out while in the car. YES....it was a pain and I believe he spent about 40-45 minutes on both. I told him it was suggested to remove the assembly, but he is quite familiar with the car and decided to go that route. Who am I to argue? So after $66 install charge and the cost of the bulbs, I'm good to go for another 17 years before replacement. lol. Bottom line is that I'm happy with the headlight brightness and am confident in knowing that nothing unexpected should be happening in the near future with my headlights. Hopefuly......End of saga.

Just kidding I found another source that these are turn signal lamps...oops... I don't see the same ones that have been listed. Is this one similar to OEM?
