Default Headlights

Alright, so I just purchased these LED's for the inner halogen lights on the headlights of my IS250: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...viewsTabAnchor

So i understand that there are two bulbs per side, so I ordered two pairs of these lights. How the heck do i install these? I have absolutely no clue what to do here. If someone could please explain that would be great. Pictures would be great. thanks

so im assuming you got one set for your parking/city light (the upper bulb) then the other one for your DRL (the bigger center bulb) which means you will lose high beam, correct?

no i got two of the same exact things. the one that i posted the link for. I thought it gave one for the bigger light and one for the parking light. Does it just give two of the same exact things?...

okay. obviously i have no idea what im doing. can someone please tell me exactly what led bulbs to order to put into my bigger light AND parking lights?

and is there any way to get a white bulb that will have highbeams as well, or do i need to get an hid conversion to keep my highbeams?

lol what? so you did.. you bought 2 sets of 198 LED bulbs, one for parking and the other for high beam, correct?

here use the search tool before posting questions, also look at the FAQ. did a quick search and found this for ya, hopefully it helps with whatever your question is. as far as installing, check the Diy thread... huge post saying NEW MEMBERS START HERE.

A quick run down to replace your parking lights.

1. Take off engine covers.
2. On the passenger side, remove the headlight cover closest to the grill. You would need to push the metal bar toward the outer edge of the cover to remove.
3. On the upper left corner, locate the parking light bulb (If you are looking through the headlight housing). Remove and replace with LED
4. Test to see if LED is put on correctly and put the headlight cover back on.
5. Driver side, remove the windshield washer fluid hose. Unscrew the bolt and lift the whole hose up from the bottom. Yank from the bottom.
6. Do step 2 - 4 again. Bulb should be on the upper right corner.
7. Put covers back on and you are done.

if you're trying to change the drl/highbeams and parking lights, its in the manual in the diy section.
