I really should know the answer to this question but I don't. I have a 07 IS250 w/ factory HIDs and AFS. I understand that replacing it with non OEM I lose the AFS. If I did replace the headlight, could I replace it with an aftermarket non HID? Where I could replace the headlight and get a ballast separately for it. Just been through two sets of headlights where ballast have gone and I'm tired of the work involved, especially in the cold weather.

 

VipMotoz is a popular aftermarket headlight that comes with non-hid. You can install HID Kit in them if you want they're H7.

 

will I have to rewire anything or is it just plug and play?

 

Its all plug and play the only thing you would have to do is drill a hole on the back cover of the headlights so that the wire can get access. They have a marked the holes for you so it's very simple. They have a video if you need a guide.

 

This will help

 

and this will work even if I have factory HIDs?

 

No. When you remove your current headlights, your factory HIDs will go out with them. With this, you would use a HID ballast compatible with the H7 bulbs.

The lights are different

 

I understand that I would have to use a separate HID ballast. What I'm asking is if I take out my current headlights, and put in these headlights following the video, will they work?

 

Ah I gotcha. No, because they use a different bulb size

 

damn, so I can't just remove my current headlights and put these in. they make this so difficult. is there a way to make them work? splicing wires or something?

 

at this point I want to completely replace the headlight. housing, bulbs, HIDs.

 

Yes, these are plug and play. I have an 07 that came with Auto leveling lights. I pulled the fuse to prevent the warning light. In addition to the vipmotoz headlights I installed a morimoto 50w hid kit with relay wirenarness. I'm satisfied with the output.

 

ok thank you! I phrased my question wrong so sorry for the confusion.

 

If you want to do that. Purchase mine :P

That will replace the headlights, housings, bulbs, HIDs. I went through exactly what you're talking about when I replaced my HID/AFS OEMs.
