Default 2013-Halogen to Xenon?

I haven't pick up my wife's new 2013 RX350 and I'm very sure it does not have Xenon headlamps. I would like to add some aftermarket.

There's just so many to chose from it gets overwhelming deciding which ones to get. Do you guys have any known quality sets out there?

Whiteghost, I tell you right now that even with an HID kit the lighting will suck as the car has halogen projectors. In my opinion if you want to do it the correct way you have two options. You can either buy used OEM Xenon headlights or do a projector retrofit.

Understandable.

Has anyone found a replacement LED bulbs to use as low beams?

I always seem to look at them but have never seen them in person to decide if they produce enough light or not.
