Default headlights

what kind of headlights are used on the IS-F? I am looking into getting 35w 4300k d4s bulbs made by toshiba-harison, wondering if this is a safe replacement for the phillips.

That's the correct bulb size and looks dirt cheap. Nice find!

Yes IS-F uses D4S but from what I've been told there are good and bad bulbs. Like Philips and Garax are top quality stuff. Watch out for the made in china stuff!

We took this picture of the IS-F headlight after painting the inners but it shows all the bulbs it uses.

hope this helps!

well it says they are oem genuine parts. my dealership over here (johnson lexus of durham) said lexus just started using the toshiba-harison brand since they last twice as long as the phillips and are cheaper.

Fellas, my left bulb went out and I have to replace it. Since these bulbs seem to be genuine I am gonna give it a shot and I will keep you posted.

Default Nice mod

Hey thats a nice mod. How long it take ya to do? Have you encountered any leakage or condensation?

Btw how do you align the headlights...the cut offs point is crooked one higher and one lower...is that normal?
