I have an 04 RX330 and I thought my driver side low beam bulb blew.. So I purchased another one on ebay ($44.95 & dealer charges $315) but that wasn't the problem. Took it to the dealer and they ran a diagnostic which said that the Individual E.C.U. for HID system needed to be replaced which the front bumper cover has to be removed to replace. The part is $295 their price and $300 labor. I really can't afford that price. Is there anyone in the forum here that can recommend a site where I can get it less expensive? I really need some help on this one.!!! THANKS in advance

One thing about ebay, you need to do your homework as to which ballast is a exact replacement for your car. Once you buy it own it, no returns in most cases.
Here is one even cheaper:

When there is a problem, you need to diagnose it a bit and not jump to a conclusion. Without any measuring equipment, should have swapped out the right bulb with the left.

So, I take it that he's out of warranty? Hence DIY.
