Default Has anyone tried LED headlights yet on 2nd gen IS250

I was curious as to what peoples opinions or results were with these new LED kits. I need to order a new set of HID's to replace my factory 2007 ones. Considering that the LED kits are of similar price i wanted to see what the results were of HID vs LED

I've used the LEDs to replace the factory halogen bulbs which is effective, but I kept the HID bulbs as they have better light output. The only reasons I could think of to replace the HID with LED is to have instant on and a cooler temperature. I had the bubbling headlamp defect and considered using LEDs to avoid it from occurring on my replacements headlight units but just kept the HIDs.

@1sikIS250 - Do you have factory HID or halogen bulbs? I would not suggest changing out HID headlights (d4S bulbs) to LED - It will be a significant downgrade in terms of light output and beam pattern.
