Default IS250 AWD: the ones that are not fortunate enough to get HIDs

Here are some pictures of my car, can't afford HIDs yet so here are some Nokya Artic Whites. Had them on my older car and lasted the longest and looks the best. But they are not as bright as the OEM bulbs.










I am not a photographer so sorry for the bad pictures.

Looks good man, should just purchase aftermarket HIDs though since it's not that expensive compared to factory HIDs. But nonetheless, that looks good, and if it outputs the same amount of lighting as stock that's great!

I was thinking of going route this but saved my pennies for HID kit.

Can't go wrong with $20. Still trying to find out how to change out the fogs without taking off the front bumper. I can't take it out from the wheel wells. If anyone has any idea, let me know.

Where did you buy them??? What kind of wattage are they putting out??? Also it looks like you changed out the daytime running lights as well... what did you pop in there??? I think that whiter headlights would look a lot better on my Blue Onyx...

also, did you swap out the fog light bulbs as well???? Thanks.

I got them on ebay, Nokya Artic White for around $20 shipped. I have the yellow fogs to swap out too but I have not been able to get into the wheel well so that is going to wait.

These bulbs are 60/75w I believe and I did change the parking lights out to some LED ones I also go on ebay. Someone on the forum suggested it to me and looks great at night.

Here is the link:

High beam/DRLs are not changed yet, will do them later on. Next on the list are tints and the yellow fog light films.
