Funny thing happened today. I was driving and noticed a GS300 behind me through my side mirror. And I am like whatttt? He had his light on and I saw that his high beam housing lights were on along with headlight. I had my car for over a year and never new that my high beam wedge light was not on when I had my head lights on at night. I have stock HID's. So I found this thread to get my burned wedge bulbs replaced to match my HID's and to get my high beam bulbs replaced, they are ugly yellow daylight driving lights. After reading 12 pages of this thread I am leaning towards Polarg M4 or M6 and Silverstar 9005 for high beam/daylight driving lights, but read that M6 do not last long due to out of spec wattage.. Anyone has any thought on this? I also PMed PHML and might go with Raybrig SMD LEDs if I can get them.. But tell you the truth I do not mind the look of HID's on with Yellow fogs and no wedge bulb on for the high beam housing.. It looked great to me for over 1 year. lol

I found one that's a very close match to the stock RX330s HIDs:

The PIAA Teras are pretty good, 4500K. They don't fit in the damn 168 socket though, I had to tape them in to make them stay.

Pete, you are truly the bulb man.

Those look very nice. What brand of bulbs are they, where did you get them, and how much?

I don't think the pics will be accurate. The bulbs are bright dots. They don't light the reflectors all that well, but I think they will appear like they actually do, judging from other pictures I've seen of them.

I have to disagree.I have the PIAA SuperTera H-374 and it has a omnidirectional SMD LED. In fact, some pedestrians have scolded me for the glare they put out.


It's almost funny, they don't mind the HIDs,it's the wedge lights which are too bright now.
