HID kit on IS250
Hi I am a newbie to this forum but have been a proud Lexus owner for about a year...anyways i'm having a bit of an issue with my 2008 IS250, I've read that it's the ballast thats gone bad, when driving at night my drivers side headlight goes out i then have to turn the lights off an back on to get it to work. I have the stock OEM HIDS installed is it possible for me to buy an aftermarket HID Kit and just replace the old OEM ones.

I've tried that I get the same problem I'm 99% sure its ballast because my friend had same problem and he ended up replacing his ballast to fix the problem but he replaced it with a OEM ballast I just want to know if I can take the OEM out and put in some 6000k aftermarkets on

I was reading on CL forums that the morimoto are pretty good replacement HID kits for the IS250 so I found this and I wanna hear your guys thoughts if I should get this kit.

I bought the Morimoto 5000k D4S bulbs to replace the old Philips ones and I didn't like them.
There were not bright enough and the color was too blue for 5000k.
I ended up buying Toshiba Harison D4S bulbs, as used by Lexus.
They are much brighter than the Morimotos I had.

Check bulbs by swapping as stated.
If not, you can always get a aftermarket HID kit from sources such as xenondepot.com( steve ) and so forth. The 6500K Kit they have is what i recommend as it looks ice white, very nice. I have them installed on my headlights and fog lights and match to the tea.

The Philips kit is not in my budget margin I'm only a student in college and cannot afford to buy HIDS for around $250 looking for something up to $100 that's why I looked at the morimoto ones people also seem to give them nice reviews. But help will be appreciated.

These are legit, as used by Lexus/Toyota and do not cost $250:
