Do your headlights have sort of a blue hue to them? Check your sticker price....dealerships add it to the car when they order most of the time. Huge difference from regular headlights.

Yeah my headlights look like that but not equipped with the Xenon lights. By buying these bulbs it would be exactly the same then?

reset2k.....I'm pretty sure the 2011 headlights have the projectors regardless of if they have HID's or reg.
BTW: OEM's look fine. If you have a 2011 I'm not sure why you would want to spend this kind of money on new bulbs, unless your bulbs were burnt out.

For me, I'm getting Philips HID Conversion for the Fogs which will be 6000K and will switch to Philips Ultinon 6000K for the low beams to color match them.
The thing for 2011, is that if it is not HID, you won't have the LED daytime lights and has parking lights instead.

TaYLoRGanG: If you don't have HID's, you'll need to purchase a full HID kit and not just these bulbs. The kits include the other components such as your ballast and ignitor (one for each bulb) and a harness.

TaYLoRGanG, on your '11 IS, do you have the cool LED drl everybody loves? If yes, these headlights have HID's. If your headlights looks like the the older style with no LED drl, then no you do not have HID's.
D4S Ultinon bulbs are a direct replacement to the stock D4S HID bulbs. If you don't have factory HID's, then you will need an HID kit. HID bulbs are not regular 12V halogen bulbs. Each HID bulb require a ballast (part of an HID kit) to turn the stock 12V into thousands of volts thats needed to power an HID bulb.
