Hate to tell you this but the OEM equipment on certain Toyota made cars are not plug and play on other platforms. I guarantee you that you will get different results trying to put an OEM IS300 HID bulb/ballast setup in your Supra since the IS does not have projector headlights. The only way to find out is if you compare the bulb length and slots to see if they match up. I can guarantee the hid bulbs are much longer than the oem halogen bulbs for the JZA80. Good luck with your findings. Let us know what you come up with.

Another option is to retrofit a set of HID projectors into your car. www.hidforum.com is a good place to go for this. They have a Supra already done in the gallery check it out. I think they used Hella Bi-Xenon units (which can be had pretty cheap). In fact, you'll need D2S bulbs and not the D2R ones you have with the IS300. The way you'll know is, look at the capsules. If they dont' have that brown stuff on them to sheild the glare, you'll be fine. Sell the bulbs you have on Ebay (or here).THey'll go quickly because of the demand. Next, research the links above and head over to the above site and read up on that project to get an idea of what it involves. One guy did the same thing I just mentioned to his TEG. Check it out. And good luck
