Anyone know the intensity of OEM HIDs for IS350?
So I’m sure the answer is right in front of me, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the intensity of my HIDs are for my 08’ IS350. Personally I think their 4300K, but I just wanted to be sure. So if someone could just clear that up for me that’d be great thanks! Also if you know the intensity of the fogs that’d be great to. Thanks again!

Intensity is different than what you're asking for: Color temperature.
And yes I believe the stock bulbs are ~ 4100-4300k. Not sure which one exactly, since it depends on the bulb manufacturer.
The fog lights are 9006 base size, and are halogen so they put out somewhere around 2800-3400K in terms of color temperature.

FYI:
The ISx50 has some of the worst performing OE HID projectors, on the market.
They are pitiful in regards to width, and output intensity, no to mention, the cutoff has zero color in it.
There are mods that can be done, that make the ISx50 projector worth keeping.

You can't mod the IS projectors to get more intensity or width, all you can do is switch to a clear lens, space it a little and hopefully get a nice blue colorband across the cutoff. but in doing this, you loose in intensity and width...

You can do clear lens, you can do high temp flat black mod, you can also do a D2S conversion, so you can run 85122+ bulbs.
You can paint the shield, you can even attempt a custom shield, to increase your width and sharpness.
It's hard to even want to try these though, the ISx50's side entry D4S setup, along with the lack in knowledge in the ISx50 community as to what determines a good projector from a bad one. The common knowledge is that changing your D4S bulbs to 6000k is "cool".
