I think the OEM HID ballast is in the headlight housing, so you'll lose the HID when you change the headlights and need an aftermarket HID. Personally, I won't get this aftermarket one if I got HID. The lens glass is smaller (so probably reduce light output) and the number of LEDs is half of OEM's.

I'll wait for a better version if there ever is going to be a better one, else the OEM (even without HID) doesn't really look that bad after a polish.

I agree. I have the Stock HID AFS none LED headlight and I wouldn't wanna lose the AFS functionality. It comes down to wither you want to spend on it. I think for that price range. That's a mid-pipe already hahaha

That's unfortunate that these aren't AFS compatible.

I hope they make an updated version with AFS compatibility, OEM HID bulbs with projectors, and brighter LED and charge a bit more. Even at $600 these are still more than half the price of the OEM Lexus ones.
