I am sure i have the HID model (lux package), now does anyone knows where to buy the Headlights that fits this model, i just purchased an '09 IS250 and the headlights are disgustingly yellow as well as fog lights. Every vendor online ive checked sells for the models with regular halogens lights, they all have disclaimers advising it does not fit my model.
Any advise as to where buy them will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you in advance guys.

I just got the car recently. I found out it had HID light so I won't need to upgrade. I noticed a little humming noise next to each light when its on. HID also takes a few seconds to warm up so its another way to tell for someone. I checked the original window sticker that was in the package and was surprised they charged $815 for the HID light upgrade. The only thing I changed is to switch the steering wheel buttons to the ES350 2010 models (hard plastic), add a front and rear dashcam and added a navigation bypass so I can enter address without stopping the car. That navigation lock was the most annoying feature on the Lexus vehicles. Too bad they took the option out of the firmware instead of having to add an aftermarket harness and switch.
The picture below shows the left side polished and the right side wasn't polished yet. I just polish it with a tube of Flitz and a micro fiber cloth. It was only a 15 minute job.

If you are going to start opening the hood, then do this--it will be easier:
Turn the car on. To the left of the steering column, there is a button that looks like this <O>. Press the arrows to scroll thru the options. If you see "AFS ON/OFF" as an option, the car has HIDs.
