Now if I were to purchase a new IS350 with the Xenon HID Lexus Headlights....How do I go about putting those 6000k lights in from Xenon Depot? I like the blue/purple light effect...but I dont understand what I would need to replace if I already have Lexus' HID Xenon kit with the package.

Please Advise. Thanks again CL!!!!

You will have to simply replace the bulb with the exact size. Look in your manual, the non HID ISX50 are H11 and the factory HID is different. 6000k to 8000k is a differance in the arc of the bulb which produces that color effect. I would reccomend 6000k as the anything above will reduce visibility due to the color refracting on the road and it becomes worse with rain and snow.

Foodplz

you just swap out the stock 4300k bulb with a 6000k bulb.

So all I need to do is buy the bulb (6000k)...then can I take it to like my mechanic to do it? I would feel better that way, because im a retard when it comes to a DIY project...lol

Overpaying for a simple job really if someone else does it

You got it man!! The stock HID Ballasts will be fine with a replacement xenon depot bulb or any bulbs for that matter that match your exact oem bulb size. many people on CL have swapped out there 4300k facory bulbs in order to get that purple/blue look. Let it be known, the 4300k will offer the best road vision as it is a cleaner white light. I myslef, like the 6000k and have not run into major issues, you will notice a little road sign glare, but i like it.

No problem,

If you lived in the Chicagoland area, I would help for free, the ISX50 and IS300's are my hobby for many years. you would think, I should have invested in cheaper hobbies (LOL)?
