Aftermarket headlights
I'm probably going to be eaten alive by everyone for posting this but after searching for hours, I can't find a thread that really answers my questions, I might possibly not be looking hard enough so I apologize ahead of time..
Anyways, I have a 2008 Lexus IS250 AWD with the factory HID and the headlights are starting to look unappealing. Instead of just trying to get them restored, I've decided to bite the bullet on buying another set of headlights due to one already being badly condensed from the inside. I've looked through amazon/ebay but most of the ones I've found either has a bad review or (and) are made for factory halogens ONLY.
Are there any aftermarket headlights available for the factory HID ones?
I really like those ebay ones with the LED strip from VIPMOTOZ but not sure if they'll work since I have HIDs..
Please help guide me to getting either a decent oem set/aftermarket set because i've had enough with these!!!
few pictures so you can experience my pain:

Those headlight will work on your car perfectly. However, you will lost your AFS function (that is the reason why they are stating not compatible with HID - i did stated it on my thread). The harness is totally plug and play. When you order those head light, just remember to order another set of H7 HID conversion kit.
here is what you MUST DO:
1. turn on your OEM headlight AND MARKED the center cutoff light - i used painter tape)
2. Put on the new headlight, try your best to align the cut off light to match with your marked (you may need to remove it in and out multi times to get it right)
3. Put back everything and enjoy your beer.
Good Luck!!!
