Lightbulb Projection Headlights???!!!

Hello. I would like to know if they have projector headlights for the Lexus IS 300 or 400. If they do where can I get them? I would think it would be cool if they did make them. Nice look. Also I would want it to look like a Porsch! If you really think about it the headlights for the IS now suck, I mean compared to HID projectors! Anyway please inform me of any information about thr projector headlights for the IS 300.

guys please be easy on new members ok?

first there is no is400, only is300, and they have stock hid already, just that they are reflective type not projective type. you can always hammer and drill to fit in a projective housing from say 5 series or so, but i would just stay with the stock reflective hid. i don't see anything bad about it

if you reread his post he "thinks" the is reflector HID is not as good as projector HID. he never said it never came with HID.

Actually IS is one of the better Reflector HID out there. Reflector HID will give you more of a distant Light pattern to shine further. but a projector will give you a more spread out wide and even light pattern. Both are very very good. also the reflector tends to give more of a glare to oncoming traffic while projector are great at cotrollng the light.

Looking at a nearby thread, I think if you were to do a projector retrofit to an IS300, the Q45 multi-projectors would be the way to go. They're bigger than a BMW/Audi projector, so they would better fit the space left by the low-beam reflector bowl. And the aggressive look would look great on the sporty IS.

If you do a search for "Soaristo," you can see pics of this mod done to an Aristo/GS. The pickup truck in the nearby thread doesn't do those projectors justice.
