After market HID's

Hey guys I have an 07 IS 250 with halogens and I want to put some aftermarket HID's in...Just wondering if I install the plug and play ones, if they will flicker? or do I need the CANBUS HID kit?

thanks!

Don't think you will have flickering problems. Just install a good high quality HID kit and you should be fine.

As long as you get a good quality kit you will be fine

I have no experoence with Xenon Depot personally but I will definietely check you guys out in the future.

Another option you could check out is The Retrofit Source. I have had many kits in my time and I am by far the most satisfied with the Morimoto kit from them. Stay away from anything cheap....you will burn through ballasts fast and in the end you could have gotten a quality product with the money you spent anyways.

Totally agree man. Picked up a few sets Morimoto XB35. Haven't had a chance to install. Went with 5000k, most lumen output. 35watts safer and less heat.

^ 5000k is the best imo......I had 6000k on my Subaru and I liked it at first but the blueish hue started to annoy me. The bright white is definitely better at night for me.
