Go with the 9006. I have the 9006 from McCulloch, Now Gourmet Garage. It looks nice on my GS 300 '01.

I agree with MrSypher, why would anyone suggest getting 9005 as another option for headlights on a '01 GS300. Its 9006 for the headlights. Getting the 9005 for your '01 GS300 headlights will NOT fit.

You'll need the 9006 D2R bulbs, those are for reflective housings....
The D2S bulbs are for projection lights...

Default D2R and D2S basically the same

this link here says the only difference is the metal strip that causes glare reduction but theres really no point b/c its not even all the way around the bulb and it also causes the bulb temp to be lower...http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/headlamp-faq.htm#REAL_ULTINON
