My 2013 RX450h has the HID low beams. But the fogs were halogens.
I changed the fogs to LEDs. I had a hard time matching with the same color as the HID low beams and the DRL's. At the end I just went with aftermarket $69 per pair 6000K LEDs found on Amazon. Three years later, they are still running strong!!! I did the same for my LX570 which had HIDs in the low beam, but halogens with the fogs. On my CT200h, none were HID as all were halogens. I changed the low beams and fogs to LEDs and left the high beams halogens.
Get the FANLESS LEDs. See my prior posts on the LEDs.

following this dialog, I replaced my halogen bulb with HID replacements from Xenon depot. It's been about 90K miles since installation and I see that the light intensity is beginning to dwindle just a tiny bit. Do you think that is about normal?
So far I’m very pleased with these: https://www.audew.com/Audew-H11-H8-H...caArdDEALw_wcB
they’ve been installed since January. Will report back on longevity.
