Headlight recommendations
I am looking to replace my headlight to a 5000k headlight. Any recommendations on which brand? Pictures of your LX with the 5000k headlight would be great!
Thank you for your help

If you have the regular bulbs the Sylvania Silverstars are pretty good. Just know that any 5000K bulb you use will have a blue coating on it which will reduce light output. Use higher than standard wattage bulbs at your own risk...they can cause damage to the headlight housing or wiring, from excess heat production.

Your LX570 did not come with HID? My 2013 came with HID, but fogs were halogens. I replaced the halogen fogs with aftermarket LED (H11)s.
What year is your LX570?

If you have HIDs stick to bulbs from a reputable lighting manufacturer (ie. Philips, Osram etc).

The LX comes with Projector headlights and it is FINE running those aftermarket LED or HID bulbs. If you have the Reflector headlights then it is not advisable to do so. Check out the TRS store since they sell quality bulbs (https://www.theretrofitsource.com/).
