You cannot add HID bulbs to a non-HID car without adding ballasts as well... for the price of one of those bulbs, you can purchase an aftermarket HID kit from one of our sponsors.
Hello, I have a 08 IS250 AWD and I just replaced the low beam HID's with a set of 6000k's for a different color look but the bulbs do not ignite immediately! they go on for a sec and then they go off, it's not until I turn the lights on and off 3 times before they stay on!! has anyone experienced this? any input is appreciated.

Did your car come with HID's standard? Either way, it's likely a ballast is starting to go bad and cannot supply enough power to get the HID's on
makes sense, because it was the left side that was originally out, now thats the side with the new bulb and it's the one that will not light right away. thx
No, your also going to need a ballast along with the bulbs.

I am 99% sure that those bulbs are fake. Phillips bulbs are very expensive but also very high quality. They normally go for around ~$200 for both, be careful when buying from amazon or ebay.

For 06-10 the low beams are H11 bulbs. For 11-13 I believe its 9006, Im not 100% sure tho. I may be conufsing the low beams with fogs because 11-13 models have different low beam or fog bulbs, than 06-10 models. I dont remember which.

Correct. I would suggest buying a kit from one our vendors so you get the lowest price and a quality kit.
