So the 1st pic is what my stock halogen lights looked on my garage door.

Passanger Side No Engine Cover

Removal of the airbox below. Two 10mm bolts hold down the box, but the mass airflow sensor and wire loom must be disconnected from it. Also the front air intake 10mm bolt and clip must be removed, the throttle body clamp must be loosened as well.

This is what the passenger side light fixture looks like after removing the cover and bulb.

Driver side after 10mm bolt removes washer fluid fill tube

1" hole in light fixture cover to allow for new wire installation

Rubber Grommet to seal out moisture

Fixture Side

Kit plugs directly into stock loom (Blue is Positive) I tested with a volt meter to be sure

Passenger side before cover re-installation

I parked the balast on the frame rail on the passenger side then zip-tied it to the existing wire loom


Driver's side cover

This is the driver's side balast, I sprayed it flat black to make it more inconspicuous, (then i scratched it) installed it next to the ECU and tied it to the wire loom

Garage door after the install


The install took less then an hour. The lights are 4500K. I chose this color temp because I wanted to preserve the stock appearance. The light illuminate the road exactly as well as my IS300...same color same intesity. The Kit was a "proxenon" It was $278 with a 2yr warranty. And claim that they provide "Hella" ballasts. The sales guy was "joe" very helpful in helping me decide exactly what kit I wanted. I bought them on Ebay (Sorry about the multi postings, but after having created the whole single post the website restricted the # of images)

nice guide, did the rubber grommet come with the HID Kit?

muzzman1

Yep the kit was complete, all I needed was a 10mm, socket, phillips, flathead, 1" hole saw.

Damn, I wish my kit came with those Rubber Grommet . Mine i just snap the dust cover back in and leave the wires stick out on the bottom. I didn't show any gap from the top of the dust cap but if u use ur finger to feel, there's gap on the bottom. I think a lot of people here are doing like that. Not sure that will cause any condensation.

does the stock HID has auto level adjusting??

muzzman1

im not sure I understand the question so i will answer it "both" ways....

The OEM HID does have an auto-leveling feature, and adaptive lighting, so the light follow the sterring wheel

The halogen version of the IS lights are NOT auto-leveling....so no the pictures you see above are my lights and they are stationary
