I bought them at Amazon a few months ago and they are a perfect fit for my 2007 GS350.  The product description is Philips D4S Standard Xenon HID Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack.  Here's a link:  https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Standard-Xenon-Headlight-Bulb/dp/B00480J4I2/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Lexus|75&Model=GS350|5861&Year=2007|2007&ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=automotive

In my view, these stereos are unquestionably defective. There is no legitimate reason for the LCD unit to require replacement--ever. The LCD unit on my GS300 has gone bad twice. The first time occurred when the car was less than 2 years old, and Lexus simply replaced the whole radio under the factory warranty. The second time happened just recently. There are several ways to take care of it when your LCD fails. Lexus does not repair the radios. If not under warranty, your dealer will charge you around $1500 or more, depending on the model, to replace the radio with a new one, or $700 to $800 for a rebuild (if they can find one). My unit was a Pioneer model. Pioneer will sell you a replacement LCD unit. Cost is about $109.95 for my model. I understand the work is simple, once you have the radio removed from the car. Just a few bolts to remove to take out the defective LCD and replace it with a new one. I am aware of two repair shops who will remove and replace your LCD unit (after you remove the radio from your car and send it to them). One is located in Florida and one is in Connecticut. I found the Florida shop from a post on this web site. I found the CT shop on ebay. Both charge $140 for the work. I understand they get wholesale pricing from Pioneer. I used the Florida one. I mailed the radio to them last Wednesday. They received it on Friday, replaced the LCD unit that same day, charged me $140 plus $20 for return shipping, and put it in the mail this past Friday. I'm supposed to receive it next week. The Florida company is Factory Car Stereo Repair, Inc. (407) 830-0777. The Connecticut shop is Jodis Repair Center (860) 953-1679. I used a local car stereo shop to remove the radio from the dash. That shop will reinstall it once it is fixed. Total charges from the local shop for r&r was $45.

I first posted the above last year.

My stereo on my 01 gs430 went out and I ordered a used radio from ebay. After replacing with the new unit, I think it was from an GS300, the unit worked again except the backlight for the radio station portion did not work. I tried swapping out the front section from my original unit with the replacement unit and still had the same issue. Is this something that can be fixed with a new lcd or is it a wiring issue with the main body of the replacement stereo? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have tried several searches a lexuspartsworld.com, I can come up with a part, using a part number or a key word. How did you find it??

Thanks,

I just bought it at Parts.com for $78 plus shipping (total $92.45) I found it by searching for the part number. I can't vouch for this supplier yet because this is my first purchase. Here's a link. https://www.parts.com
