Just installed those LED's! I'm extremely impressed by-far! If anyone else is looking for a nice kit, try these. They are awesome.

Could you post some pics of the light output? Maybe some night shots.

Sure! It's snowing where I am, so it may not turn out as well in the picture, but I love them. I can actually see with these things, rather than most kits... Going to buy from them from now on.

Also as a note... My driver side headlight connector had the wires backwards. So I had to splice them, and crimp them to the opposite wires on the kit. Took 10 minutes.

Pictures don't do justice, but it's snowing pretty good here. These lights lit up the whole damn road for me haha! By far better than any H.I.D kit I've had!

Glad to see you are happy with them and thanks for posting some pictures! To be clear, did you install HID or LED?

Went ahead and purchased the LED's! In-fact, with H.I.D kits, you usually have to drill a hole in the headlight housing piece. I didn't. Since the ballasts are small enough, I shoved it all in the housing and didn't have to drill.

The only issue I had was having to split wires. On my driver side, the harness to the connector were backwards from the kit. So I had to cut the connector, and switch the wires to match +/+ and -/-, then crimped them and was good to go. Took about 10 minutes and doesn't take a brain to figure out.

Thanks for the additional feedback and glad to see you were able to resolve the polarity issue on one side.

No worries at all. If anyone is confused, feel free to post here and I'll post a picture and explain what the issue was. Most cars (stock) have the harness backwards on one side.

Get some of these small screwdrivers. It makes it a breeze with switching the pins, and there are many tutorials on YouTube on how to depin.

Yes, the H11 Xtreme LED Pro kit is the correct one as the IS250 uses H11 bulbs for the low beams.
