Lexus27,

My IS250 is a AWD with lux package. Basically just wanted the xenon, and had to take everything else that came with the package. But I must admit those illuminated scuff plates sure impress the ladies....

Picture are uploaded. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No condensation yet...knock on wood
I recomend you to get the HID kit with Rubber Grommet like in this thread to preven condensation: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ghlight=rubber
Mine didn't come with the grommet so i have to drill a hole and seal it with silicone. Not sure how long it will last, but if i have to go back a gain i'll get the kit with the rubber grommet.

Hey Tim,
Did you disable your drl's? I have been reading that the hid kits say to disable them. have you had any issues without disabling them. Also, any condensation yet? Thanks,
Sean

The DRL using highbeam bulb, the HID is on the lowbeam so no, you don't have to disable them. The only time u have to disable DRL is if they're using lowbeam bulbs for DRL.
NO condensation yet Sean, i'll have to wait and see. I did cut a liltle bit of plastic on the headlight housing to get the wire through and now realize that is a stupid move. Well i have to wait and see if those silicon will help. It haven't been raining much here lately, plus it's a 1st time i see Christmas in 70 degree all week.

Did you have to adjust the light angle at all to avoid blinding oncoming traffic?

Tim,
one quick question about the LED.
do u need to run Load Equalizers with the LED? or is it plug and play?

My audi's Headlight needed LEs to run the LED bulb properly

Default Led Park lights

Hey tim817:
I bought the same LEDs you have for park lights. Your pics sold me.
The ebay guy says they shipped monday. Will post a pic, hope it turns out as well as yours did.
are they hard to get to, under those plastic covers?
