Thanks for the compliment... I had stock halogen bulbs, so it was a complete conversion (using the stock refractor), not just a bulb swap.
No, they didn't need to remove the bumper.
The 6000k is similar to what you're looking for. I wouldn't recommend the 8000k to ANYONE that actually drives their car. Aside from my opinion that they look purple (waaayy beyond blue), the light output is horrible. For those of you that are trying to decide between the 4300 and the 6000k, here's a picture of the OEM 4100k Lexus HID's and the Xenon Depot 6000k kit. Although the XD bulb is technically a higher kelvin, there is no visual difference in color or light output between the stock 4100k and the XenonDepot 4300k kit. Also, the car on the left has yellow fogs, while the car on the right has SilverStar fogs. The best point of comparison in this picture is by focusing on the center: compare the left car's right headlight with the right car's left headlight (if that makes any sense...
). Ignore everthing else:
Hope this helps!

I am looking for a more purplish, less blue HID and I don't want to get high-beamed by on-coming traffic. should i roll with the 4300k or go to the other end of the spectrum and get the 8000k-10000k?
Thanks.

Im thinking of getting a set at xenondepot but before I do. What i want to know is if there is a possibility of a bi-xenon kit coming out for the IS? I mean I've seen them retrofitted on the bimmers so why couldnt it be done on the IS?
