Default Blown light bulb in the beam

Hi everybody!
Blown light bulb in the beam Lexus ES300. Are we halogen or xenon? H7? What is better to change in pairs? What manufacturer would you recommend to buy?
Thanks!

Save yourself a lot of trouble and stay with what you have. Anything otherwise leaves you at the mercy of marketing genius aimed at the unsure.

Change your bulbs in pairs because old bulbs do in fact grow dim.

Halogens work marvelously, you’re less apt to blind oncoming drivers and you won’t be back with problems because you “upgraded”. If you do decide to upgrade, do it with Genuine OEM parts or deal with flickering, low output and burned lenses.

And be sure to take this opportunity to clean your headlight lenses.

When you pop the hood, look at the headlight housing. If you have a Yellow warning label (or if your headlights warm up and get brighter within seconds after turning them on), you have HID/xenon headlights . If you don't, you have halogen bulbs. Replace in pairs with either OEM or a good, well-known aftermarket brand.
