Default what these look good? what else would I need

Someone is selling an Extreme HID conversion kit for H11 style form Xenon Depot..Color temp 6500K

Would these look good on my IS350... I have the stock yellow/white looking lights.. these are just the low beams

what lights would I get to match up so the daytime running lights and hi beams look good too?

thanks for any help

I'm sure they'll look good. Many people on these forums bought those. Me, I'm considering MTECs because I heard the installation is less of a hassle. From what I can tell, MTECs have an integrated igniter/ballast, so that means only one wire to the bulb, whereas the XDs have two wires and two boxes to mount.

The DRLs and the Highs are the same light. You can't get HIDs for it. The closest you can probably get to it would be a 4350K halogen.

yep I use 1 watt white LED for DRL....but my car has OEM HID....this is important because the DRL is used for hi beam on non-HID car [and OEM HID cars]...difference is OEM HID has a Bi-Xenon that opens up for hi-beams use.

also - the park lights are yellow too! some went to LED, but I went for the clean look and just broke off one of the leads from the bulb so they don't come on at all.
