Default Trying to verify these are correct

I am wanting to get an HID kit for my normal headlights. Are these the correct ones:

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-HID-H...82952-1-2.html

I would then assume these for the Driving lights:

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-HID-H...82945-1-2.html

These for the high beams:

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-HID-H...82940-1-2.html

And these for the fog lamps:

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-HID-H...82945-1-2.html

I am not going to do them all right now, but want to make sure I am on the right track. I have a 2006 IS350. Thanks for helping with my uncertainty in advance!

man those are expensive... not sure about fittment but i bought HID kits from DDMtuning and have had no problem and a 35w kit runs around $40... i had been running them on my E39 bmw for about 2 yrs without a problem and just got some for my is350... they r also plug and play!!!

(no i don't work for them... just letting you know where you can get the same results and save a few bucks)

You got them all right but what do you mean by "driving light"? I've never used V-Leds for HIDs but DDMTuning or HIDeXtra are both great and cheaper. Also, I wouldn't recommend HIDs for high beams. Too much glare and if you flash them too often, it's bad for the ballasts. Basically, fogs are 9006, lows are H11, and highs are 9005, no idea what driving lights are.

I am meaning the DRL's when I say driving lights. The ones that are on during the day. Good to know about the HID high beams. I probably wasn't going to do those anyways since the brightest of the HID's for the low beams.

DRL's and high beams are the same bulb, 9005. It's the high beams running at lower power. No idea if HIDs will work in this situation, maybe someone else may know. If you add HIDs to anything on the car, best just to do the lows and fogs.

Your vehicle uses an H11 bulb for the low beams and a 9006 bulb for the fog lights meaning that you would need to get 2 HID kits (H11 and 9006) to upgrade both. I would not suggest upgrading your high beams to HID for 2 reasons:

I personally would not suggest upgrading the high beams on your vehicle for twp reasons:

1) HID bulbs take a moment to fully ignite and reach their desired light output. In situations where you need to flash someone and require a quick burst of light your HID high beams will not be very functional.

2) It is strenuous on the components to be turned on/off repeatedly ie: flashing people.

Not sure if you've taken a look at our Volt HID kits however ClubLexus members get a $25 discount/kit by using coupon code "CL" upon checkout. You would also get free shipping when ordering 2 kits. We have been selling HID kits since 2001 and have been a supporting vendor on this board since 2004.

it's actually 119-25 so it's about $95 per kit. It might be pricey compared to those $50 dollars kit but I have both the 6k low beam and fog Volt Kit from XenonDepot and I'd buy from them again. Only thing I wasn't expecting was the $5 charge from my credit buying from out of the country but I should've known.

iceey - Glad you're happy with your purchase. The Volt HID Kit is only $94.99 using the CL coupon code.

Kasim - If you look even more you can find kits that are cheaper than the ones you have listed. It's just a question of knowing what type of product you are installing. Do some searches on the forum and check out some of the horror stories people have had after installing low grade HID kits ie: losing power steering, radio interference, gimmicky warranties, etc...
