Anyone interested in a HID kit for their IS ???
I'm looking to import some 6500k kits with ballasts made by panasonic & japanese bulbs c/w all fittings.
Not the normal cheap EBAY rubbish
Price dependant on numbers ordered.
Please let me know if you are interested & i'll get some firm figures

Same again here guys, I'd be very interested as Zee's HID's look awesome and make the normal bulbs look a bit crap really!
Please can you put me down for a set Dave?

If so, I'd possibly be interested (depending on price)

I think that HID aftermarket kits are universal. Therefore, it should fit the GS mk1 and mk2 , and even the bimmer of your neighbour

Sorry if these are silly questions - but what does the kit actually consist of

How is it fitted and how easy is it

does it need auto leveling, or is that part of the kit
TIA

Just checked....they don't nor do any others on the market....aside from OEM i presume...
Can't see there being a problem as long as the lights are adjusted correctly
Not sure there is any requirement for the MOT peeps to open the bonnet during the MOT any way so why would it be a problem....
Sure if this was a real problem all the kits on EBAY & elsewhere would not sell at all

Dave, you would need to state these as for off-road use only. It's then up to the buyer to decide if they fit them or not.
It is illegal for HID headlights to be fitted to a vehicle in Europe and not to be self-leveling and have headlamp washers fitted.

the TRD HID kit also does not come with the autoleveling or washers. This kit also just consists of bulbs, wiring harness and ballasts.
Of course, you can go to Toyota/Lexus and replace all you non-HID parts with the equivalend HID part, or better trade-in your current car for one that comes standard with HID

I will not be getting any cheap ones....only interested in top quality stuff as its less likely to go wrong.
However..........not interested in a stupid high margin so twill be a good deal all the same

Jun 16 2004, 02:20 PM
Thats not what I meant, why won't you put up a rough cost?
If its a few hundred then maybe. Just want to know as to wether or not I'll be able to afford one

Jun 16 2004, 02:24 PM
Huh..i thought you could buy the kits from the LE for less than a few hundred.
Feel free to say i am wrong
Monster-Mat
Jun 16 2004, 02:27 PM
you would need the headlights
the wireing loom for the height sensors
the sensors themself, x 2
and the mountings in the wings are different

I'm waiting for my supplier to give me a firm price. I can then work out import duty/VAT etc and give a price to enable people to make a firm decision.
I'll chase him up

Dave, if you want a guinea pig and someone can fit them for me put my name down please. Would love a set of these as they blow away the standard kit.
Nearly bought a full set of genuine kit off eBay in the USA a while back but realised they'd be pointing the wrong way for the UK roads - d'oh!

The kit i have from the US, you do not need to cut any wires its plug and play once a power feed has been wired in, from the battery to the relay
