Is it true the LS model 2005 has the Xenon Headlights and they are very costly to replace ? Mine I original I believe

the bulbs are not too expensive. like $40 each I want to say. if you want OEM get the Philips D2S bulbs.

bought 2 for$50 on ebay. sold as 85122 but got 85122+, still not sure what the difference is. my '05 are still fine so I just have them for now. bid starts at $10 but wont sell for that price. didn't get at $20 either. can buy for $54 I think and I probably overbid. good step by step for install. looks so good I might try to do it. need 10mm nut driver and I will go for it.

The 85122+ is more resistant to color shift over time than the 85122, but they are pretty much the same thing.

they sound counterfeit with the price being so low. There are tons of counterfeit bulbs made to look OEM. On the package there is a hologram seal that tells you it is genuine Philips.
