Default my is350 with ISP wheels

just got the car last week, it came like this from the dealer.

the wifey got hold of the sales lady and secretly had the rims and spoiler installed (by the way, I now have an extra brand new spoiler for sale for $180 shipped, ordered on this website last week).

i appreciate what she did, it was great, but man, the dealer charged her tons for the parts and labor
whatever good deal i got from them, they took back from her.







my new lights


Also, see how i ran the wires thru the dust cover:

Nice car!
I might be interested in your spoiler.
Im just kinda hesitant to drill holes, wondering if 3M double sided tape can be used like the BMW lip spoilers.

i'll second the nice neighborhood...is that Foothill Ranch?

drilling IS required--the screws are premolded into the spoiler.

Nice ride--you didn't waste any time tearing into the car, did ya? Did you change the DRL/highbeam or just the parking light with Polarg? Is it the photo or is there a big black spot in front of the car with HID?

I only changed the DRL.

Excellent observation on the black spots. It took me a few seconds to realize the picture angles are not the same. The HID shot was taken from the roof of the car and the black spot is just in front of the car. Here's another one fom the inside of the car:

you can cut the screws off the spoiler and use the tape which is provided with the car. I have seen some people do it but i just drilled the holes to make sure. The spoiler is very lightweight though i am sure some strong tape can keep it on if you cut the screws off.

HIDs are an option. Even when equipped with bi-xenons, a supplementary halogen high beam for the DRL and for flashing is present.

Lexus 27,
The deals might have gone, and you got stuck with 2 spoilers, but the good intentions from your wifey should be appreciated forever! I like your neighborhood too... For some reasons, mainland homes always look nicer than Hawaii homes!!!!!.. and that includes yours too!

I'm quite not sure what you are asking me. First of all let me clarify one thing. For the non-HID IS350/250, the DRL and high beam are in the same light bucket with separate bulbs. I am not sure what it's like on the HID equipped cars. I only replaced the DRL on my car and left the High Beam bulb stock. The pictures you see are only a comparison between the stock and Polarg DRL. The High Beam was never on. Hope that helped.
