Hey there,
I've got a GS300 from year 2009, the facelift, and while I have Xenons (D4S, 4300K from what I can find), the high beams are good old halogen bulbs.
I've gotten them out, and they are HIR1 12V 65W from Toshiba. I can't find those, but there are Osram alternatives.
Now, I would like to get a spectrum that's closer to the ones of the xenon, so I have the same "spectrum of light."
Osram Cool Blue Intense HIR2 bulbs seem to fit what I'm looking for. The Cool Blue Intense group spectrum is up to 4200K, I am not sure if the HIR2 bulbs indeed come with 4200K, I need to research on that. Power input is 63W, nominal wattage is 55W, I guess that's fine.
Now, I am not sure, would HIR2 fit HIR1? I am not very well educated and knowledgable if HIR1 / HIR 2 ETC are different "holes", i.e. you can't fit Apple charging cable on a Samsung, or there's something else?
I've read that HIR2 come with lower amount of lumens, the example above comes with 1875 while HIR1 with some 2300 lm. Philips also has a HIR2 bulb, 4200 K, 1350 lm, and as per the website, it's suitable for both low beams and high beams, so I guess there's a high likelyhood for the Osrams to be the same?
I'll be thankful for any input on that matter and topic. Looking to refresh how the car looks.
Thank you.
