welcome to CL... i like the low beams they're nice... in the pic it doesn't seem like they match though... i think it would be best too if you could get your hands on 6000k...only because you'll be able to see better at night. happy modding

I'm pretty sure they're 8000K. I think they look purplish only because i just turn them on, after a couple mins, the color will be a little lighter.

Yes I have the factory HID system. I think it comes with all 07 IS.
I don't know where the shop got them from.. may be i should call them tomorrow and ask them why the lights have different colors..
