Stock headlight
Good afternoon,
I tried looking on here and on google or the stock type of bulbs on the Lexus is 250. Are they H1, H3.... In particular the fogs nd the tiny bulbs that un when the headlights are on. Also, are the stock main headlights 6000k or 8000k. All help is appreciated. Thank you

If you have halogens, then your low beams are H11. The tiny lights are called parking lights and they are T10/168/194 size. Your fogs are 9006 and your high beams are 9005. Now if you have HIDs, then it's D4S for your low beams. Factory HID color is about 4300k.

Awesome, thanks a lot for your help, is there any way to tell without taking the whole headlight assembly out?
One more question sorry, are the puddle lights on the mirror the same 190 bulb as the parking lights?

Not exactly unless you want to physically remove them to check them out, but for sure they should be 4300K, new from the factory unless you got yours used and possibly the first owner changed them.
T10/168/194 is used on puddle lights on mirror, door courtesy, mirror vanity, front dome and reverse lights.

Basically the whole reason i was asking was because I am trying to get rid of the dull yellow looking fog lights and want to match them to the low beam lights that I have. I looked at some pictures of comparisons and I dont think the owner before me changed the lights because they match the results I found for 4300K. That being said, what do you guys recommend for fog lights, I dont know if you guys replaced yours or not.
Do these work or anyone got any better brands? They were the first search that came up lol

Thank you Jeff, sango, and chi.
Do you guys know if these will work to replace the dull stock yellowish fog lights ? Or can you point me in the right direction if these aren't suitable ?

You could but if you want something good (I'm this to my new 2011) and willing to spend the money, the Philips HID conversion will work great.

I changed my fog lights and low beams to 5000k. For the fog lights, they are halogens. You can try those blue-tined halogen bulbs. They'll match the factory HIDs I know for sure. I had them for a while and they were 4500k or so. If not, you'll need a full HID kit, not just the bulbs alone in the link you posted. Here's some things I'd recommend.
Halogens (direct replacement to match lows, it says 7500 but it's 4500 in reality): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GP-Th...item5d3053eab7
Mod-Express HID Kit (I tried their stuff and it's great for the price, good customer service too): http://www.mod-express.com/Mod_Expre...p/me-k1635.htm
Volt HID Kit (Expensive but the best kits out there without the insane price): http://www.kbcarstuff.com/Volt-HID-4...s-p/vdp-4k.htm
If you have $120 to spend, the Volt kit is the way to go. My friend has a kit and it's just great quality. I got the Mod-Express kit and it's great for just $40. It'll be 5000k but it's close. The halogens are cheapest and will match the stock HID low beams.
