Don't I look like the idiot now. At any rate, that's still awesome that you know so much about the specific stylings of our cars.

Should fit the IS300.
It's designed for D2R HID bulbs...so I can't see why not.

I'd just go for different bulbs though. Get a 6000k HID bulb and you'll be all set. Don't do this fake crap.

Enginyr...
Cause the sleeves will decrease your vision. They filter light out, allowing only blue to go through the sleeve.

The 6000K produces more blue light. Nothing is filtered out.

These blue sleeves are the same as buying a blue coated bulb.

In my opinion, one should go for the actual bulbs rather than the sleeves.

Considering that the HID's are already so much brighter than hologen's, even with the sleeve it should be brighter than stock. Do you know the cost of these "sleeves"?
