just curious.
obviously this poll is for IS's that didn't come equipped with HID.

I'd opt for the Premium Pkg + aftermarket HID's and forget the Lux or Sports Pkg unless you have money to burn.

One thing to consider is that the aftermarket Xenon's are not considered legal in "on-road" vehicles. It's likely that most will never have a problem with them (inspection, getting pulled over, etc) but they do not have safety features such as the self-leveling devices that the OEM HIDs do and you run the risk of getting a ticket with 'em at some point.
The plus side of adding them to a car such as the 2IS that comes with optional HIDs is that you're not as likely to stand out.

I was going to take the HID kit off my old car and transfer them on to the IS. Cops won't give you a hard time with HID's on a Lexus, unless they're very blue (like an 8000 K kit)
