that looks like a mid 1990s old lexus look to me..guess diff strokes for diff folks.looking at todays newer euro cars,audi,bmw,range rover and the like,most the newer japanese models all going away from anything orange. Id love to have the whole 4gs front end on this car,id prolly keep it for years more like that.

Here are your options for the 9005 high beam/ DRL replacement bulbs.

Your best option overall is the Philips Crystal Vision but if you want more color you can go with the Nokya or Putco brands as they offer a few choices for the color.

Here are your options for the 194 replacement bulbs for your parking light.

You have LED options, which I would recommend either the Philips 194 Blue Vision or the Putco 194 High Power Automotive. If you don't want LED, you can go with the Putco 194 replacement bulbs.

I just hate the yellow drl and parking light,What do most people use in the high beam drl to get rid of this?
I agree the low beams don't seem bright because they are aimed to low. Raise them up a notch or two from the center and you will be happy with the results.

If you still need more light on the road upgrade your fogs to HID, some people think its over kill but if you drive a lot on poorly lit roads its worth it. The 2nd page of the following post will show you some of my in car shots. My camera doesn't do the HID fogs justice because they are brighter in person.

I mainly drive at night on single lane curvy mountain roads and haven't needed my high beams at all since raising my low beams and upgrading to HID fogs.

Hey just an FYI: I just replaced the drls in my is250 with the Philips Crystal Vision 9005 and they are horrible. False advertising to the MAX. they are more yellow than the stock bulbs that were stock. I was looking for a white with little blue bulb. Telling you right now, if your looking for that nice crisp new look and you buy these, you're gonna have a bad time.
