Sorry guys.

That's not an IS300.

That's an altezza with HIDs and an HID bulb cover that's blue.

I found a company that makes a sleeve that fits over the HID bulb. That was from their company.

so now lexus makes an is300 and an altezza huh? Sorry Soph, im gonna have to disagree with ya, atleast with it being an altezza.. the big L in the middle of the grille should tell you other wise..

As for the bulbs i dont think its far fetched to assume those are the parking lights.. I guess I'll order some up and find out =)

Ok...more proof then.

I have used both polarg's blue city lights and PIAA plasma blue...true they do give more of a blue look, but not that blue.

PLUS. It is an altezza with a Lexus grill. Look at the headlights. The side of the headlight only has 1 turn signal bulb and it also has an orange reflector. These are only on altezza's or the JDM black housing headlight, which is not on this car.

It is an altezza. This picture is very very old from a long time ago on is300.net.



Here are some quotes from the guy I talked to about the covers...
Please inform the website by rtn.
Do you mean Aqua Blue glass cover from Japan ????
Increase the colour temperature from standard 4200K to 6000K.
We are the exclusive distributor in Hong Kong for the above product
De,

The Aqua Blue will fit into any standard D2S and D2R xenon burner.
The export price is US 120 /set + postage
The postage cost is US$ 25 /set (Speed Post- like courier service)
If you would like to set up a GB, the min. order is 10 sets.
The GB price is US$ 108 /set.
I could arrange to be send the parcel to individual address.
