I bought some cheapo LED lights off Ebay:

I am pretty happy with them, I needed H7 for aftermarket headlights and they aren't quite as bright as factory HID but pretty close and they fire up instantly and never flicker or fade and have a really sharp cutoff.

I have installed many of HID's in my cars through out the years. I put them in every car I have owned unless they come with them.

I will tell you I just installed Morimotos from https://www.theretrofitsource.com/ in my sequoia and by far the best HID's I have ever installed. I will tell you that you will pay a little more, but its worth the money. I will actually guarantee they will be bright and made much better. Check them out. If you have any questions lmk I can always send you some pics of my sequoia.

I will be needing bulb upgrades soon for my F. they sometimes turn off after being on for a few minutes. Do you suggest the morimotos just for a bulb upgrade. i current am using Kensun bulbs from amazon. I had a universal kit in my old car and they worked perfectly for years. Now with the ISF I've had the bulbs for a year with intermittent off and on. Maybe the bulbs are designed to be used with their ballasts or something.

I would assume that a lexus bulb would be best for lexus ballast but I could be wrong. I have always used universal kits. Well they arent universal they are car specific somewhat, but just really bulb specific. I have never had an issue with factory hids. I did however put hig fogs in my is300 and it was bright as well. Thought about doing it to the F later down the road when I get bored.

Recommend calling retrofit source and asking. They have great costumer service. See what they say.

The GSF has LED headlights. They make the ISF headlights look like a candle with a short wick in the wind. The ISF headlights make the Supra's Euro headlights look like something from the 20th century. Yeah. Crap. They are from the 20th century...
