Replacing headlights on 07, es350

[webzo]

Hello,

I was considering replacing the regular headlight bulbs on my 07 ES350 with HID bulbs. Can I just purchase a pair of HID bulbs and plug them in place of the existing regular bulbs? My car did not come with HID lamps.

Thank you for your time.

webzo,

No! The HID bulbs require a ballast assembly (read expensive) as well as they usually come with the AFLS (adaptive front lighting system), meaning motorized headlights that follow the terrain, triggered by sensors on the rear passenger suspension. This all keeps the high intensity beams out of the eyes of oncoming drivers. Do an eBay search for ES350 headlights and bulbs and you'll see what I mean.

Do you really want to get into this, for what little results it'll give you?
