Hey everyone! so i just bought a 2009 IS250 and was looking into getting some HID lights, but have no idea what I need to do. Im confused because i dont know if i need a kit or just change the lights. If someone can please explain how to do this. thanks!

 

Depends on whether or not your car came equipped with HIDs to begin with. If not, then you need an HID kit. If your car has HID lights, then you can just swap out the bulb with another one more suitable to your liking.

 

thanks, so some ISs come with it and some dont? is there a way to find out if i have them on my car?

 

I'm thinking about this :https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ncluded-2.html

 

If you turn on your lights and see that they're white then it's obvious you have hid's and those bulbs at d4s bulbs. If not then you need an hid kit and those are h11's I believe?

 

If you have AFS, you have HID headlights. If not, then they're halogens. It's pretty easy to tell just by looking at the lights. The halogen OEM bulbs are much more yellow than the HID.

Those aren't HID's, they're our daytime running lights. The LEDs strictly for show...the light output is not usable at night.

 

AFS? sorry im new to all of this
and yes i checked and my lights are looking yellowish. ive seen a lot of people recomend the ones from xenondepot.com
thanks guys, appreciate the help

 

With AFS your headlights will appear to turn while your driving as your wheel turns, and when you start the car the light will move down and then up again, aligning itself. If you've got this, you just need new bulbs, not the whole kit.

If you got the factory halogens, your lights will look like most average cars, a bit yellowish and your headlights wont move or anything when your turning or when you start the car. If you got this, you need the whole kit.
