Default UPDATED PICS...My new 350IS with LED parking lights and aftermarket HID

Just pick it up today and intall all the lights right after I got home. Would like to share with u guy. After 2 week doing research on how to make the best matching look for HID and Parking lights. It finally paid of...thanks to this forum ...It came out pretty good if you guys want a clean matching look. This what i'm using:
. Phillips 6000k HID conversion kit ($400)(ebay)
. Refractor 5-LED for Parking light ($8)(ebay)
. Silverstar 9006 super white fog light bulb($35)(autozone)

I also bought a pair of Raybrig RC341. Please don't waste your money on those. They're too dim. The Polarg M4 will look good too, but i think they'll match the OEM 4300k HID better since the LED is more blueish so they're closer match to the 6000k hid.


Just the Parking lights on only:



Before with original bulb:


After with LED parking light:


Tell me i'm a smart shopper...

You installed all that by yourself? Did you have to take off anything, or just take out the headunit and install the new unit?

I took me 3 hours for all that. It should be less than that but since the 1st time i install the HID and I was taking my time on the new car so it was a long time. My car didn't come with HID so I have to buy a aftermarket HID conversion kit . It wasn't that much room to work on either. My hand got scratch a lot too ... I'll remember to wear some gloves next time..

No, I didn't have to take off the bumper. The Parking light and HID low beam iu can access through engine bay area. The fog lights i just go through the wheel well.

Sorry for the typo...
I used Sylvania Silverstar 9006 bulbs. I know the manual say 9004 but i use 9006 according to a lot of people in here 9004 was a print error in the manual. Don't buy the 9004 bulb for fog light. Here're a picture of the OEM fog light bulb:

I like how the LED Refractors look. Way better than the stock filaments. Good Job!!! What type of LED Refractors were those?

In your pics, the parking lights looks really blue but in the pic of the LED light on ebay looks really hyper white. Does it just look more blue from far away?

I bought those from www.xenonking.com and donot like them much. The place I can recomend you is www.xenondepot.com since they got better product, the ballast are a lot thiner then the ones I have, that'll make the installation a lot easier. Trust me , there's not much room in there. I had a thread about those hid bulbs I bought from xenon king, don't think they're real Phillips though: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=191711. If i have a chance again,i'll get those from xenondepot
