Hi,
Can any one provide instruction on how to chagne the headlight bulb?
Thanks

Any reason why you are changing it? IS currently has the brightest bulb temperature.

remove plastic cover by twisting, then twist the metal connector on the back of the bulb off, there should be some metal wires the size of paper clips that clip on one side of the bulb and hinge on the other. Once that is open the bulb should slide out. The bulbs are notched so pay close attention to the orientation of the bulb so you put the new one in the same way or you will fight to get it right.

Because i perfer a pure white light more than the stock 4300k HID...

4300k is the whitest light you can get... go lower than 4300k and it goes yellow, go higher it goes blue, purple, etc... which one were you planning on putting on?

J-Velocity

4300k is with with sort of yellowish color.
6000k is white with sort of bluish tint.
I used to sell super white bulbs/ hid kit at my job and I know what I am doing.

What car do you have? Pretty sure the 3IS has led headlights doesn't it?

Doesn't all the new Lexus provide HID headlights now?

jennypenny

Nope. LED headlights are optional.

HID has better reach (distance)

LEDs have better spread (width)

~4800K is pure white. 5000K is the closest HID bulb.

The 4300K are yellow til about 100hrs in and will turn to a whiter hue after they are burned in and have about 3800lm.
6000k is whitish purple and have about 2400lm.

I wanna change mine Halogens to HID and I was planning on getting 8000k, but I don't know how to get to the light bulb :| cause there's no room to do it from the engine.

Don't do it. Go 6k or less. You won't be able to see crap.

3IS has standard xenons and optional LEDs.
