Default IS250 - Will my high beams still work if I replace my low beam bulbs with HIDs?

I'm going to buy HIDs for my low beams, which is H11 correct? My question is if I get the bulbs/ballasts for my low beams, will my high beams still work?

welcome to clublexus.

unless the IS has some very weird setup, i don't see how the high beam would be affected if you put hid on low beam

the only time high beam will be lost is when you have a dual filament bulb (9003 or 9007) when the low beam bulb has 2 filaments, one for low beam, and another which is a high beam and is on at the same time the high beam bulb is on. you wont have this problem since u use H11 bulbs i believe, which are single filament.

High beams for the IS are different bulbs than the low beams, so the highs will not be affected at all when you replace the lows with HIDs.
