i have a 2007 alphard with Active front lights, I believe the bulb is the D2S xenon, 

 

the toyota part number is 90981-20017

 

when looking for this bulb they are about $150-$250 USD online for genuine toyota bulb

 

can i just replace with any D2S bulb instead which are a lot cheaper?

Hello Shaun,

 

D2S is correct, according to my JPNZ Owners Manual.

 

£120 from Amayama.

!!!!!!!!

 

Please, just type D2S in to amazon.co.uk

 

You can get a pair of bulbs for under £20, you really dont need OEM toyota bulbs at that ridiculous price.

 

In my 20series I bought bulbs costing £16, perfectly fine and brighter than the ones they replaced (I chose a whiter light freq)

Edit: so yes, your original question - you can use cheaper bulbs!

Great, that’s what i was hoping to hear. I ordered a pair off Amazon. Cheers.

The pair I bought came with a pair of cotton gloves to prevent contaminating the glass.

Be sure to wear gloves when handling these, as any oil from skin will cause them to fail prematurely

I wasn't recommending them, but they were much cheaper than the ones from the US !!!

 

Well done to Chris.ac, the 'resident' electrical expert
