Very helpful info. Thank You I will get the dipped bulbs replaced.

Thanks Nev, that's good news. But turns out the bulb is working again! Damp inside the headlight cluster causing a problem maybe?

Dipped headlight is working again, without replacing the bulb. I read in the translated manual that these HID bulbs can stop working when the inside of the light cluster has become damp & disturbs the 'range of operating current ' Dipped headlights suddenly not working has happened to me before - I thought perhaps a loose connection but not so. Have other owners had this problem? Very disconcerting when it happens. It was a wet night last week when this last happened, but only on the nearside light. Luckily I don't drive the Alphard much after dark.

Thanks for that info. I wouldn't have thought to see it embossed in the bodywork. Fancy the Manager of Chichester Halfords not knowing this! Can I fit it myself? (as in can my son fit this bulb?) I am an older female Alphard owner & don't want o attempt changing bulbs. The handbook says I must go to Toyota garage!

Hi. I've had my Alphard less than 2 years and now need a replacement bulb for dipped headlight. Have discovered (by visiting Halfords and reading my English version handbook) that this isn't simple. Does anyone know how to buy these bulbs and the procedure for fitting one of these - thro a Toyoya garage. I also want to carry spare bulbs for front /rear lights. Can I buy these thro EBay or Amazon? Or Halfords for the more usual bulbs if I can identify what I need? Hope someone can advise.
