I bought a brand new black IS 350 2006 in August which came with the premium package (i think) .. the one with the wood finish / heated; a/c seats, but no memory seats or HID lights (i believe so), and now i'm in search for some xenon lights. I know many people have posted various threads in order to upgrade their IS to HID headlights, but i have no idea where to start and its very confusing.

I want my headlights to have that xenon look (whitish / blueish), and right now i currently have the regular headlights which most cars have .. the yellow-looking headlight? I'm not much of a car expert but i could really use some help.

Please tell me what I have to do to get my car upgraded to xenon headlights. Also which ones look the best? Its a Black IS 350 so keep that in mind. I've looked enough to find that promo which gave great prices, but i want to know which type i should buy.. H11's? but which #K? (Thanks XD!).

Thank you very much, any help is appreciated.

(Oh and also, I wanted to get my windows tinted.. its a black IS so whats the best looking window tint for this colored car? I live in Houston, Texas - anyone know the legal amount here for front / back windows. and also please post if you know any great window-tinter-people in houston, texas. Thank you very much).

yep most of the info is in the thread he linked you to....

4300K yields the very most light...and is more of a pure white with just a hint of blue.
6000K is a lot more blue but yields less significantly less light.

...Xenon Depot (Steve) is supposed to be the best kit.

there's also a couple of self-install HID threads.

Also i was wondering if any car shop will install the HIDs for me. As i've said before i'm not much of a car expert so i want to make sure if i spend the money someone can install them for me. Thanks

does anyone know if the OEM factory HID's flash when the Panic Alarm is activated like the Halogen's flash??? Wouldnt that ruin the bulbs???


I have the Xenondeopt kit and I never want to use the Panic alarm now because it might ruin the bulbs or ballasts...

good luck having someone install them in Houston -- there's a few shops that'll do it -- very few -- just call around, be aware they'll charge big bucks --- and they'll want to use their own kit (might not be a bad thing) - just make sure they use nothing more the 6000K and has a decent warranty.

I think Progressive Motorsports on FM1960/Stuebner is one place.

bagwell,
i called up progressive autosports, and they do not install HIDs bought outside from their store. I asked how much theirs cost and it was 695$ (This is with the installation cost).. and they are 6300K i believe.. Do you know any other places which will install HID lights if i buy the 4300K H11 package off XD? Please post if you know any shops in Houston which will install them for me.
Thanks
