Default Lighting confirmation

Hi All,

Before I click the confirm purchase button on $300.00 in bulbs with xenodepot - I wanted someone to confirm this looks correct for what I'm trying to do. I'm still confused on the DRL and how they are yellow - and if purchasing the below bulbs will make them 6000K color all the time? If not, I'll just leave them stock.


I'm trying to acheive all exterior and interior lights to be a 6K color on a 2007 IS350 with stock HIDs. (and switch the fogs over to HID)

Are the plate lights needed? It seems my stock plate lights are already a 6K color?
Thank you in advance, I've been researching this for a few days and think I got it right - just want to confirm.

Here is what Steve from Xeon recommended (very helpfull folks by the way):
Low beams: your vehicle uses D4S HID bulbs. You can definitely go with our XenonDepot D4S 6000k HID bulbs:

You will not have to worry about damaging your OE headlights/ballasts.

Fogs: Go with a Volt 9006 6000k HID kit. Please view this link:

you don't need the license plate light those are not replaceable and for the daytime running light you need the DRL module or else they will flicker.. and you need one more bulb those are the city light its the little one that light up at night in the highbeam area the bulb number is 168 which can be found here

and forgot to mention you will lose high beam if you go LED

you can search on VLEDS.com or IJDMTOY.com also

Thank you for the 168 city light info - I will add those.

So in regards to the DRL's - is the link I provided with the "DRL" option what you are referring to in order for them to be a 6K color but also retain the factory working condition with high beams?

I definitely do not want to loose my high beams.

Any further opinions are greatly appreciated - as it just so happens one of my headlights went out tonight. I need to order ASAP.

Thanks!!

If you put led as your DRL you will lose high beam function but you still have your low beam and there bi xenon they will light up fatter down the road but not as bright. So you have to decide stay with ugly yellow and have high beam or get LED and lose high beam.

So does the DRL option eliminate high beams still?
