09 RX350 Headlight HID Retrofit question!

So what you are saying is that the wire harness coming from ballast (if used from RX, which the seller assured me that it is) should be a direct swab. Is there a separate connection/wire for the AFS that comes out from the light itself (I didn't see any). But even if it is indeed an AFS light, you claim it will fit without any problems (ballast are the same, I assume). Just wanted to clarify, because some of these posts are scarying me.
Which bulbs did you use? I am thinking of getting a set of used Phillips 85122 and hoping they would have color shifted as I like a hint of blue in mine, but don't want to loose the brightness by going to 6000K (or looking for CM bulbs that are 3x the cost of these common Philips).

07-09 OEM hids are a direct swap to your vehicle. its as easy as taking out your lights and installing the new one in. thats it. dont the get the 04-06 because some have a different connector than your 09. they will still work, but you will need to some wire tapping. I have done a bunch of Hid swaps and the OEM lights are the easiest to do.
if you are going to buy them from ebay ask the seller from what year they came from and also make sure to ask if they been tested. there are a lot of flood vehicle headlights out there that don't work and are been posted for sale on ebay.

Thanks for everyone feedback. Finally got all components, did the swap-out yesterday - worked like charm. All OEM, including ballasts & Phillips 85122 bulbs. I do not have AFS or self-leveling in my car, so those systems are not connected (no wiring). How do I align the headlights to specs and what are those specs?
Will post pic later on today. Thanks again, everyone!
