Headlights for Lexus ES330

Headlights for the Lexus ES 330 model offer both practicality and aesthetics. With a wide selection of headlights for Lexus ES330, you can find exactly what you need for your vehicles specific year.

What types of headlights are there for the Lexus ES 330?

The two types of headlight technology most commonly found for the Lexus ES 330 are high-intensity discharge, or HID, bulbs and light-emitting diode, or LED, bulbs. HID bulbs are similar to traditional incandescent bulbs in that both types of lights make use of glass housing. But instead of a filament, HID bulbs use a gas discharge to manifest a bright electrical arc between two tungsten electrodes. HID bulbs are rated to last between 1,000 and 2,000 hours.

LED bulbs are small and make use of compound semiconductor materials to cast a brilliant beam into the darkness. This lighting technology system barely uses any electricity, and each LED diode can last nearly 50,000 hours.

Should both headlights be changed at the same time?

If only one of your vehicles headlight bulbs has burned out or only a single headlight lens has cracked, the desire to only want to replace the inoperable headlight is understandable. But did you know that conventional HID headlight bulbs can lose up to 20% of their luminosity over time? Not only will one side of your Lexus appear darker if only one headlight is replaced, but this difference may cause a distraction on the road. For these reasons, it’s recommended that both bulbs or both headlight assemblies be replaced at the same time.

When dealing with a cracked lens or upgrading to LED headlights, it’s necessary to replace the headlight assemblies in your Lexus.
