People typically use high beams just to flash at others so having HID is pointless at they need to warm up.

and i guess for the few that have AFS like me, we will have a light on all the time!
from what I have read you can full the AFS fuse.

High beam looks LED to me, where did you see an HID?

From the video it looks like the DRL does not dim when the headlights are turned on.

Just a heads up to those who are thinking of purchasing or have purchased. I asked Vland about the LED head lights to see if they are changeable should they go out and the answer is no. They said they usually last "over 5 years" and they will only cover the lights for 1 year. I'm still onboard because I will probably end up modding it if/when they do go out or going back to my stocks but that's something to consider.

From the video, looks like the low beams stay on when the high beams are on!

I would imagine so if you have your headlights on then push the stalk forward. This how all cars are in this situation. In the first 2 videos it shows the high beams on alone when the low beams are off.

Ahh Gotcha Yeah I like that too and the switchback is really nice.

This looks much more clean and sophisticated than the Vipmotoz ones with the swoosh. I used to have those but they leaked. Now I'm back to stocks. Can't wait till this arrives!

For those asking where I saw high beam was HID.
Read below, it is from the Facebook page they have created for these headlights.


Vland Headlight For Lexus IS250 2006-2012 Full LED

Product description:
1.Plug and play
2.No coding,No wiring
3.DRL(Daytime running light):LED
4.Color: Black
5.Two low beam light,one high beam light.This is a new design, the low beam are LED and the high beam are HID, no need to buy a bulb
6.The original lamp, whether it is HID or halogen, can be adapted to our headlights as long as it is in 2006-2012.
7.We do not charge a deposit. If the product is finished, I will notify you in the group as soon as possible.

Price:I can send a message to talk to me privately. Now the company stipulates that we must privately chat with customers to send prices.

At the same time, at 11.15, I will create the Whatsapp team, this is my account: +86 17858694939
