Totally agree. CL members are 10x smarter than my parents

 

Do you have OEM HID lows or just OEM Halogens?
Should've definitely saved yourself the time, and how old are you btw?
Hopefully you're paying for everything out of your own pocket instead of out of parent's money.

 

i'm pretty sure the OEM halogens. Not positive tho it's a 2008 IS250.
And I'm 20 but every single mod comes out of my pocket

 

sorry to hear sir!! i hope you getting everything situated!! But yea like everyone else i think its ridiculous they charged you that much to install hid kits. where they trying to weld it into the frame or something lol.

i can take off the front bump of an is300 and still complete the job in 30 min to 1 hour

 

Good ish! I'm 20 and every one was paid for by myself. To be honest, I don't follow my parent's advice when it comes to modding because their way usually is better, but is also $$$$$ whereas mine usually is good and $$.

I thought 2007+ IS had HIDs option standard. Try to return the HIDs you got and get HIDXtra kits instead, they're a vendor and better, and hit up another member for install or you can look through the DIYs if you're handy.

A lot of times my parents notice mods weeks or even months after I do them, and they ask about it, and I'm just like, oh yeah...I forgot when I did that haha.

 

Haha that's so funny man yeah I'll do something to my cad and about 2 weeks later my parents are like "hey what is that?"
but anyway thanks for the input yeah i was so pissed I just want to get rid of this brand and get something else. I'm just impatient, when I shouldve done more research and listened to yall more.

P.S GO TROJANS!!

 

good luck with your whole HID situation . i hope they refund your money ... =) ..

 

Thanks! I'll hopefully get it situated tommorow after school. I'll keep yall updated!

 

the install is very easy. saves you three hundred bucks. I did mine by myself

 

Sounds like the shop really didn't know what they were doing. I'd test the hid's yourself just to make sure it doesn't work before you ask for a refund. Nothing like spending $$$ to ship it back just to find out they work and you get stuck with shipping the same ones back to you.

 

 

return your purple lights. get a better brand and get something with more useable light.

 

i would def. try to find somebody who knows how to or at least get them to to hook it up to make sure they are working or not... a friend of mine installed some hids recently and started panicking because they didn't work so i took a looky and found out he had the wires reversed leading to the oem plug... it would suck if you spent all that time (to ship back and forth) and money to find out that they installed it wrong... i would say find a more reputable shop next time and do some research.

 

+1! They may look cool at first, but you'll get tired of having to squint in the darkness.

And sorry to hear about all the hassle - I've been there before, believe me. There's no way that you'll get reimbursement for the labor, it just needs to be chalked up as an expensive lesson.

 

There blue.
