1. D4Swon't work cause they are using H7
2. You need to tap power for it to make it work. Guide above
3. I don't have picture of it

Well that sucks.. So most people buy a HID kit to install with these headlights then??

Top5 - I see the guide looks fairly simple to do..

whitebeast - how come you have flickering? you didn't use fuse tap??

Aftermarket hid kit with an h7 bulb. You will also need a drill bit that cuts an inch in diameter to run the wire from the ballast.

I did the same thing to my 08 when I installed a xenon depot kit in the halogen headlights.. Just sucks I have to go through all that again being that my car has stock HID's haha also means that if i do buy the headlights I have to buy a HID kit (on top of the cost of the VIPmotoz headlights) to keep the same looks - F halogen lights lol

If you look back at my post. I stated that i do use "add on circuit". I think the reason why i have flickering problem cause i do have Foglight mod. I will check on that one later. As for now everything is good.

I just did the wire mod to run the LED as DRL. As of right now, I do not have any flickering led's.

Good to know, I'm still contemplating on buying the lights.. My IS350 is obsidian I just don't know if the black housing would be too much for the front of the car.. I like the OEM headlights with the chrome projector ring but don't want to pay OEM prices obviously..

What colour is your car? Any pics?

My car is crystal white. Compared to stock, it definitely makes the car look more aggressive. I'll have pics in a little bit

When you install these lights and lose the adaptive headlight functionality, is there some type of light that comes on in the gauge cluster?
I just bought my wife an 09 IS250 and am considering these lights, but she will def me pissed at me if it causes some light to turn on.

Yes. Can be fixed by removing the afs fuse.
