Default Angel Eyes for IS350 Reliable site or not

Hey I was wondering if anybody on here has ever bought these and if they are reliable or not. They are pretty cheap compared to another site. I don't want to spend more money then I have to

Here are the one's I'm planning to buy but I don't know if these are reliable or not.

Here is the site with the expensive one's.

not a fan of halos on a lex but, I can vouch that ijdmtoy is a legit site. But as far as halos go in general I always hear about them going out, so be prepared you may have to bake ur headlights and open them up to replace it everytime it goes out

Look into Umnitza!
They are the BEST Angel eyes but they are LED angel eyes.
I am currenty doing a project on my headlights for retrofit and using those Umnitza angel eyes. I'll post pics when they're done.

Angel eyes definitely look great, but many will say that it is a BMW thing. I personally love the look and would do it if the product was reliable. I've only heard bad things about them on our cars application, usually dealing with the bulbs burning out or breaking. I've specifically heard bad things about the second link you posted. I haven't heard anything about the ijdmtoy ones. ijdmtoy sells some solid products, but i am wary to buy their angel eyes.

Not a fan of the BMW look on a Lexus, but like RDIS250 mentioned, ijdmtoy is a pretty good site to buy from.

I've heard too many issues with them going out too though. Probably why most people don't bother with them, who wants to open the headlights up every so often to make repairs?! lol

Ok thanks guys! I just got a 2007 IS350 so I've been looking up mods for the exterior and I came across those. If I do decide to get them then I'll post pics up once I install them.

It's a functional thing, but it never fogs here, so I don't really know it is or not :p

I used to think the BMW angel eyes are really cool when I first saw them, but after seeing so many I found them a little annoying :/

Yeah I get what you're saying nosurprise and they are everywhere now lol I think I'm going to get them since I was thinking of painting the the headlights black too so might as well do it all at once, so now I have an excuse to open them up and paint them.

This is how I felt when first saw the LED "eyelashes" on the Audi and then all of a sudden every OEM and worse aftermarket cheapos on the street had them
