Holy crap..3 HID sets in one car. Each set will cause incorrect lighting output, therefore causing a lot of glare. God forbids you get caught while having high-beam on

BTW, the glare is what attracts the cops in the first place (well that and the color). Any HID modification is considered illegal, even retrofits. Except with retrofits, you reduce the attention. And besides, cops will probably think the car came with projectors anyways, since it's a lexus

Geez, if the cops pull you over, tell them you work for Caltran and you're supplying the light for their night road construction

3000k is yellow.

You'll have to do some rewiring because when you trigger the high beam the fogs turn off. I'm still figuring out how to override that. Also, HID high beams are a bad idea if you're going to flash them because that will shorten the life of the bulbs. If you don't care, go for it.
