Unhappy Wrecked IS300 :(

Yeah, so I wrecked my '01 IS friday. I dont even wanna go into the hows and why's. Anywho, since I have to replace the entire front clip, I talked the body shop into letting me swap the stock HID's with Halos. Problem is, I cant find intact Halo units, all im finding are Halo kits. Anyone know where I might could pick up a set of these? Projector Halos would be super awsome !! I tried ebay, my.is and lextacy. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

Sorry to hear about your car, glad to hear you're alright though.

As far as the halos go, I don't know of any sources. Hopefully some of the other members can chime in.

Sorry to hear about your wreck. Try Advanced Automotive Concepts for the halos. They have a dedicated forum over is my.is

Good luck with the repairs.

Thanks for the replies but the topic is now moot. I did find a nice set of halos on ebay.... unfortunatly the insurance company decided to total the car so I wont be needing them afterall. Im gonna sit back and save up for a little while and find me another IS. I'll get some before/after shots of the car up this weekend for all of you who'd like to see the mayhem a suv can cause with the front of an IS. p.s. They got $2300 in damage.... life is so not fair.

I would chime in and tell you where you can buy complete Halo headlights for the IS300 but last time we did that we were almost banned
