Default Why the acronyms?

Well my 04 rx330 with hid headlights finally blew a low beam. But trying to find a buildb seems like a maze. I know it's a DS2 but what are these different bulb type acronyms...ABL ...AGQ....PCC...FXPR. I assume 35w, 3200 lumens and 4150 temp is correct oem standard but I see these other acronyms with the choice. any thoughts?

Maybe it is because you typed DS2 instead of D2S. I have never seen those acronyms regarding bulbs.

I will make your choice easy though. Here is a link to a quality bulb and it is only $50 for a set of two. The site also explains the difference in color temperatures and such. Personally, I like the 5500K but the 4500K is closest to what the stock bulbs are.

Also...If you want the same bulbs as stock, buy these. They are $85 dollars for the set...but they are no better than the ones above.
