Default 2010 ES350 Headlight Bulb

Hey guys,
My Headlight went off and i was thinking to get LED lights but i am not sure if it is compatible. Can you guys recommend which headlights should i Buy. (looking for something brighter).
I am also thinking to change my fog lights from amber to white.

Thank you

A good first question is do you have factory HID or factory Halogen headlights? Our 2010 Lexus ES350 Lighting Guide shows both D4S (HID) and H11 (halogen) as options here, and you can really only convert to LED if you are coming from halogens. While you might be able to find some sort of D4S->LED conversion somewhere, you would honestly be looking at a lighting downgrade. While LED technology is definitely getting better, HIDs are the far brighter of the two options, and your housing would be designed for that type of bulb, so and LED just would not perform anywhere near as well, even if it would presumably last longer.

If you just need some new D4S HID Bulbs, there are lots of options out there. If you want something 'Whiter' than a stock 4300K bulb, look for something higher up the colour temperature scale. Around 5500K is just 'pure white', but usually you will find options above and below that instead. 6000K is a nice icy white (usually a small hint of blue), like the Philips D4S 6000K Ultinon HID Bulbs.

Your Fog Lights are 9006 bulbs, though, so you can definitely change those over to some nice white LEDs. Check out our 9006 LED Kit for one option - our Xtreme LED PRO Kits are rated at 5500K for the colour temperature (crisp white, no yellow/blue), and we have the same style of kit in H11 for your Low Beams if you have a halogen setup. You would not need any additional components (CANBUS/Resistors/etc) for either the Lows/Fogs on your vehicle.

Hope this helps,

~Robert
