first off did you go oem with the bulbs and ballast u use to replace the bad parts? Does both sides goes out? Did u try to do the bulb swap method? I don't live around that area so I wouldn't know. I think u will need to seek a car electrician for help.

Hey evil teo thanks for the reply!! I used aftermarket bulbs tried the swap and it still goes off on the driver side only. The ballast is oem...

hmm i would get rid of those aftermarket bulbs...that could be the main culprit...our IS don't like the aftermarket bulbs for some reason. I know other vehicles work but when I had my 250 my passenger side would go out all the time, that was until I went oem or quality bulbs like garax...

my suggestion get the garax, maxlux, morimoto bulbs or oem philips


Morimotos

Thanks for the reply I will try new bulbs, originally I try to get garax from ijdmtoys and instead received
Their brand bulbs which I'm having the issues with.. Will try one of the ones you suggested... Thanks for the help

if you bought from ijdmtoys garax I would demand a replacement because you didn't get what you paid for. demand them to send another pair of authentic garax or give you a refund. I know that Ijdmtoys had a bad batch of bulbs that they sold. usually they come in a garax package.

Also remember to keep all your receipts because if they ever have a recall on the bulbs getting burn all the time they can refund that to you!

Thanks guys... So are morimotos good bulbs to use on the IS?

Morimoto's are quality. Im unsure about the IS part. I would take Teo's advice due to personal experience!

morimotos are like philips replicas but they are quality bulbs. i have always heard good things about theretrofitsource as well so they stand behind their product. unfortunately i don't use them as they weren't on amazon. i am currently using maxlux and have been happy with those. for $40 bucks they are great!
