I am thinking about trying a cheap HID kit from ebay in US.
I see that there are many kits for about 200$.
They also have almost 100% positiv feedback from buyers.
Is it worth the risk or what could possible break on these kits?
Is it the bulbs or the ballast?
What about the bulbs? Are there much difference from other bulbs incase I have to change them to another type or are these standard when it comes to voltage and watt so I can buy other bulbs if they break?
Anyone have experience with this?

as long as they're packaged correctly and securely, the bulbs should be fine. don't think you'll have any problems with the ballasts breaking on transit.
yes, you can buy replacement bulbs, but obviously they're more expensive than standard bulbs.
just one thing i would say about some of the US HID kits is that you should look out for the illegal bulb intensities (i.e over 8000K). a lot of the US ebay companies sell the 10000k and 12000k kits, which are cheap to buy, but will get you in trouble with the boys in blue!!!!

Yeah.......stick to around 4,500K which is the same as the stock HID's on the IS300

Hello.
Now I have installed a JDM Pilot HID kit bought from ebay .
Whery easy to install.
Only problem I had was that I had to switch the + and - in one of the connectors.
It seems that Lexus has their own wiring in this connector.

It looked very nice on the car.
I bought a 6000k kit .
Cost me about 240$ with shipping and inssurance.

I recomend this to all Lexus owners.


Good service and fast delivery.
Jens

Anyone thinking of getting a McCulloch kit, just bear in mind that they have stopped making these kits so parts may be hard to source.
