Default LED Parking Lights w/OEM HID's

Hey Guys,

Just put in my LED Refractor Parking lights (Thx for the mod idea Tim817) and wanted to show some pics. My IS has OEM HID's so those with these can see what they look like. Most people who has added this mod use aftermarket HID kits which match a little bit better depending on the kit. The LEDs are bluer than the OEM HID's. But I think they still look a lot better than the stock parking lights.

What do you guys think?

Looks very nice!

I'm going to have to do an aftermarket HID upgrade to my IS 250 AWD then do the LED refractor upgrades. Thanks, jiggyman!

Cheers,
Kermee

Ah, no, he meant "ricer". As in, someone who drives/likes/promotes "ricey" looking cars (i.e. tricked out imports that typically fall on the wrong side of tasteful).

The stock HID is a lil white compare to the parking lights. I think you should try the Polarg M4 super white bulbs, i heard they're better match for the stock HID because they're whiter than the LED.
