Default From Halogen to Hid

Hey guys, i recently just purchases a set of hid headlights and i was wondering if i needed to do anything for them to work on my car. My car comes with the factory halogen headlights. I was wondering if i just take off the original headlights and plug in my new hid headlights.

Much help is needed! This is my first Lexus.

You would need to buy a HID converter kit.

your car was not designed for HID and therefore will not fit.

You can just plug them in and they'll work, but if you want Bi-Xenon support, you'll need to rewire the solenoids.
