Thank you! Found a couple in the OC that said they can try it but then i gave Tommy a call and he says he does them everyday. He doesn't charge by the hour too! Great deals.

For what car? HID kits are fairly easy to install yourself.

IS250. The low beam doesn't look to hard but don't have the the tool to jack up the car, so I might as well get it all done together.

I don't think you need to jack up your vehicle to install HID low beams.....unless you're having something else done as well.

that's what I did when I just changed the halogen bulbs but it looks like you need more room to install the kit.

you just need a space to mount the balast. i put it on my reinforcement bar. dont mount it to the plastic body panal or any where else that may melt when the basasts get hot. good luck
