Default My new IS 250!

Just bought this beautiful 2008 IS 250 AWD on friday...the day I bought it, it was rainy and cloudy so I didnt see it well but later discovered how awesome the paint color is!! I love it! Glacier frost mica is pearly white with shimmers of blue and pink! Its girly which is perfect for me :-) First project will be head/tail lights!

Congrats and welcome! Looks so clean... Don't say GFM is girly out loud, some of the guy GFM owners might get offended. What are your plans for the head/tail lights?

Haha thats true...it's not girly, but it is very beautiful! As for the head/tail lights I am tossing around some ideas... pink HID headlights with clear tail lights, blacked out headlights/ blacked out tail lights, or Blue headlights/blacked out tail lights.
I think if I did the blacked out look with the lights I would want to get black rims too...but one step at a time here :-)

Welcome to CL!!!

But.... please don't to pink headlights, ... you will not be able to see at night!!!

The higher the Kelvin, the less visible light there is.... And I think pink is 10,000k or higher!! The most light will be from 4300k (stock) HIDs...

I say the best option you stated was blacked-out headlight housings and smoked tails + black rims .... But thats just me!

Welcome and congrats!

IMO, you should leave the tails as it is...maybe slap on some red outs. GiantsFan is right, pink is not going to give you good light output and it's going to look cheap. Definitely check the threads before you start modding
