Yeah one would think that LED's / HID's would be standard on these cars nowadays but nope it's still optional. You can get them part of a package which is pretty pricey ( $2500 i think ) or a stand along option of only $800 something which i would had taken if they had one in stock ... oh well

On that note does anyone know if the " IS 250 " emblems are 3M'ed on the trunk or are there holes ? I've always preferred a clean look back there by debading all emblems ?? TIA

They've discontiued the "Toyota" and "Lexus" badges pretty much across the board. (In North America, in other countries they're still there). As far as the IS250 emblem goes, it is 3M'ed on, but there are 2 locating pin holes as well.

I'm just happy that though he was wrong with his information i'm not dreading the wheel at all .......... like i said earlier it was basically a no lose situation for me since both 18" are nice

Thank you JD !!
I'm in NNJ and thank you for the greetings ! I had the same color combo in a 2008 MB 300 and luved it. Thought about a change to TP but they only had these 18" wheels in this combo so i grabbed it !
Well you can always look for new wheels though if you got AWD it's that tough situation where you gotta decide what wheels you can get without affecting the AWD which i did not want to start worrying about !? Thank you also for the welcome !

Driving yesterday in the rain i had my lights on during the afternoon and really did not like the color of the lights ........ looked very " normal and yellowish " I had a nice 6000k HID kit that was very , very white on my last ride and am looking for the same color but without the HID route ??
I've read various threads about trying H11 bulbs which is a very cheap alternative but i did have a set of H11 placed in the fogs of our MDX and am not too impressed ! Any suggestions as to which H11's i can use or just bite the bullet and get another HID kit installed ??
TIA
