Default Xenon Lights
Anyone know of a good local Los Angeles dealer that will install xenon headlights on a new IS250? Any recommendations?

is it aftermarket?

if so, you can do it yourself. 20 minutes MAX.

I got mine done at Alpha Tint (714) 379-2880. Their address is 11793 Beach Blvd, Stanton, CA 90680. I can't tell you how GREAT of a job these guys did - they finished it in just under an hour, and they only charge $60!!! The cutoff on my lights is FANTASTIC... it's the true "___/-----" pattern, and you can't see at all where the wires, ballasts, and ties are! Highly recommended, if you're willing to drive a little bit. See my post here, post #21 and 24.

Javier...your car looks great! Thanks for the info. Do they have the kits there at Alpha Tint or do I have to buy from a dealer? What did you use on your car??

I bought a 6000k conversion kit from XenonDepot, then took it to Alpha for installation. I've sent you a PM with more info.

Looks very good on your car. And the Alpha tint sounds awesome too, I remember the last time I had my HID installed for $100 at the store in San Gabriel area...

No buddy, its not as easy for the 2IS due to limited work space and drilling on the caps for the HID. Otherwise, I could of done it myself too. Cost me $50 for the install.

Yes, the 2IS is not as easy as other due to the tight space. We are located in the City of Industries and we usually charge $40 for installation.
