I find that when I'm driving my car I wish my lights were bluer but whenever I see an IS with Xenon, it really looks quite good. It's not very yellow at all to be honest...
I want to get 6000k every time I drive my car but change my mind every time I see a normal IS driving by.

As for output, unless you have DRIVEN behind all the cars with HIDs at night, you can't say "it looks wider" as its deceptive when you are not behind the wheel.
Lexus HIDs have always been some of the best you can buy on the market.

i know im going to get flamed for this but...
i can understand i guess changing the head lights to suit your taste because you need thoes lights to see with.
what i dont get is why people would swap out all the turn signals and other lights for LED when you cant see them anyway when you drive. as far as i can tell its for the viewing pleasure of the people around you who actually could care less or wouldnt know the difference anyway.
i wouldnt mind changing out the fogs so they are a little more matched to the headlights because i can see a difference in color on the road that bugs me. i also hope that they might light up road signs a little better if they were brighter.
also i wouldnt ming getting rid of the halogen high beams, is it possible to replace thoes with HID?

I don't think the 2IS does have BI-xenon. You have a separate high and low beam. Bi-xenon is when u have hi/low in one projector. The way it work is that the shield would move out of the way completely and that will give you the highbeam. When the shield move back to the bottom half of the projector, that would give you the low beam.
