    I have never messed with them on my 2007 standard but the right side went out and came back on, I was going to take it out and look at it but Wth is that a weird setup. So I had to come inside and watch some videos and research and now I don't know what I need and I don't want to gouge my hands up twice taking it apart to see what I have then order something. Anyway when I put my VIN in Partsouq it says I need Toyota 9098113058 which their photo just shows a bulb with 4 prongs on it and it says
    "NHW20 12V 60/55W,HALOGEN" . The Phillips that Amazon wants to sell me without my VIN shows one of those right angle plastic things on a bulb.The existing lights looks very white.

    Hood up look at edges if headligh housing ???? See a bunch of yellow hi voltage stickers on edges of headlight housings ?? Yes that's HID system no yellow stickers it's standard H4 halogen either way led are in you're future more than likely. They also make hid d4s to LED conversions . You probably will no revist these conversions once completed. I've both types here hid and halogen once adjusted no comparision

    Thank you that's a great identifier yes there are 2 high voltage stickers. Do you have a recommendation for LED conversion brand or method?

    Alla d4s to LED conversion . Amazon generally . generally . But a smart person mite wanna pull housings and bypass the hid ballast instructions in package. To bypass ballast very simple. Then remount . You'll probably never revisit this .
