HID Install

Installed DDM Tuning 6000K in the low beams and fog lights. Put them in yesterday to see how they looked, but i decided tonight at 1 AM was a good time to mount the ballasts :D I ordered the slim ballast, so in the engine bay looking down, you can barely tell they are there :thumbup:

2nd post, 2nd pic...you can barely make out the 2011 RX350...LOVE it!

Nice. Time to change your city light to match it :)

You probably need to zip tight it. Those 2 side tape wont last forever, you dont want a ballast stuck into your engine bay. Looks good BTW.

im planning to buy HID low beam, high and fog lights soon. Any recommendations? Where to buy and about how much price range? Thanks.

The kit didnt come with double sided tape, I used scotch mounting tape...it seems pretty solid. I'm going to check them in about a week and see how theyre holding up.

I bought mine from DDM Tuning. The kits were cheap, $40 each (they have them for $30 but I wanted the digital slim ballast which is $10 more). Shipping was around $12. Cheap, and they look great :thumbup:

BTW, i shuld have elaborated originally, the last pic in the first post is the lower radiator support where i mounted the ballast for the fogs

dejavu157 05-07-11 04:02 PM

Did you get 55w or 35w?

Clear2Cloz 05-07-11 06:06 PM

I did the 35W, I was going to do the 55W but a friend of mine said they started to melt the housing in his IS.

lexybaby77 05-07-11 06:17 PM

Did you also replaced high beams too?

Clear2Cloz 05-07-11 06:27 PM

Nah, just the low beams and the fogs. I never use my brights anyway, and with the brightness of the HID's I will never have to :D

Nice looking lights!!

Clear2Cloz 05-07-11 11:52 PM

Thanks :thumbup: I have to start modding this thing, the HID's is the only thing I have done over the 12 yrs I owned the car lol. Since I got my 07 GS350, the 2GS is no longer a daily driver :D

cmara2k9 05-08-11 01:35 AM

If u wanted all u would hav to do Is insert new hid bulbs where the old high beam bulbs are now since u already have a the kit correct?
