Hey Everyone

I've been doing some research online since I got my new IS in regard to putting HID in the car, and I came across your club, very glad I did in fact.

Maybe you guy can pass along some info that you may know of, heard of, see, anything..... I need to put HID in this car, it's the only thing it's missing, esp. being it was in my '04 IS, I can't go back to not having it, I can't see a thing!...haha.

Can anyone pass along any info in regard to kits? I know of the Philips H11 Kit, and honestly, that is the only one I wanna put in. But, mainly, is it safe to perfrom such an upgrade being it didn't come factory installed, as the wiring is totally different. I've also been hearing Daytime Running Lights will cause problems/conflicts in an aftermarket kit.

What about keeping it simple...i.e. PIAA H11 Bulbs. Does anyone have any knowledge/expierience with these, or can anyone offer suggestions as to which ones to get.

Any help you guys can pass along would be great! BTW, I live in teh Tampa, Florida area, so if anyone is from the area, already having made these same upgrade, please let me know where/how?

Best Regards, Anthony

Anthony,

I'm going to leave your post here in the 2IS forum, but you might want to do some research in the ClubLexus Lighting forum too (click here)

I installed the McCulloch 5000k HID kit almost a month. It worked fine. I know some member installed the MTEC HID kit .

Do you still have daytime running lights? Any problems or other mods to the car to make the system work?? Easy to install?

Here is my thread:

I still don't know how to disconnect the DRL. The HID kit is very easy to install. The main problem is the duct cover. If you don't want any condensation, You MUST reinstall the cover.

Where did you get your kit from? What is the type/name, ect??

AB02

What abou the Auto Switch? Can you have your light setting on Auto or do you have to manually turn them on?

I've just heard about HID kits flickering and having trouble with they are used with DRL

I ordered the kit from Xenonpros.com (or you can order from ebay). I think most member order the kit from Xenondepot because they use Phillips product and the ignitor integrated. The bulb size is h11.

I don't used "auto" switch. Can't answer!!

Yes, I as well want to install a 4300k Philips kit, I saw Xenonpros had this. I just hope no damage will be done to the car as a rsult of this.....
