HID Suggestion

Hi,

What are some good HID's kits for a reasonable price? I don't want to pick some up from eBay or Amazon. Haha.

Check out the retro fit source. They got some good stuff. I am running a 55w D2S kit in my aftermarket headlights and love them!

DDM tuning probably has one of the cheapest sets you can get, and they are pretty good with their customer service (One of the ballasts I have is over 5 years old and still going strong, and this is after repeated Ohio winters, the other was replaced under warranty).

If you are talking about just swapping the bulbs, prepare for a bunch of flaming regarding the light cutoff, the squirrel finders, and how its "dangerous" and "unsafe" to plug HIDs into the stock projectors.

after going through 2 different sets of "ebay/amazon" hid kits for cheap and thinking they're decent enough to do the job, i got a set from @KI_ZN6 at HID Powerhouse. totally worth the money. these are NOTICEABLY brighter, whiter, and even the cutoff line is cleaner than the cheap kits. and they come with a 3yr warranty!

Yes, for the 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 equipped with OEM factory HID headlamps, you may simply upgrade the HID bulbs and there is no need to upgrade the ballast or wiring.

We offer 3 different D4S HID replacement bulbs for the 2014-2015 Lexus IS250. CLICK HERE to visit our website for more information.

Based on the popularity, we sell quite a few of the Verus D4S HID bulbs and the Philips Germany D4S 6200K HID Bulbs.

Our shop car, 2006 Lexus IS350 (2nd gen) is running the Philips Germany D4S 6200K HID Bulbs while our 2014 Lexus IS350 F-Sport (3rd gen) is running on the Verus D4S HID bulbs.

If you need any assistance, please contact us via private message or drop us an e-mail

I'm using a used set right now and I love them (coupled with a painted black headlight housing of course)
I also am using diode dynamics switchbacks for LED turn signals
