I am a distracted driver and broke my headlight. I want to replace my IS250 06 non-HID/AFS headlights with aftermarket LED like the ones I have been reading forum after forum. I don’t see a combination of chrome housing and a clear lens. I just see smoked lens and chrome housing as well as clear lens and black housing. I have a silver car so the clear lens with a chrome housing would blend in the best. DT Moto and VP Moto don’t offer. Any suggestions?

There is a clear lens and lighter housing if you google. Don't know much about the brands that showed up but its a start. You could also upgrade lights from a newer model which have the leds. Definitely will be more expensive but thats an option. I think the dark housing will look just fine.

I found a chrome version of the aftermarket lights by Spyder:

I personally have the smoked ones and think they look great, but to each their own.

Thanks man it is! I don't want to hijack this thread but maybe this picture would be better. They were advertised as smoked when I bought them so that's what I was referring to them as.

my opinion is that if you're getting aftermarket headlights you might as well change the look of the car while you're at it. Nothing against the clear

You're not thread jacking; just providing reference and information pertaining to the OPs question. I think your lights look killer. Maybe this will help him pick out headlights that will make him happy.

Not a problem, hope you enjoy them. I prefer the smoked over the black housing since it isn't as common. Really easy DIY with every bolt basically being a 10mm socket as well.
