Do you have HID's? if so, how does it look at night? any loss of brightness?

BTW, your headlights look good, it's different. Very clean job. Taillights are nice too. I saw the taillights on another IS250 but it was alot darker and he left the reverse lights undone. Looked real nice!

There's a little loss of brightness, but not enough to take the overlays off. The light's plenty bright enough, it changes the tint of the color you see a little. From outside the car looking at the lights you see a purple color light but I'm not sure you'd see the same from far away. I'm for sure they don't look like regular non HID lights though. Hope that helped

I was going to say that (black) or black chrome; now time to get some rims, etc.
