Hi guys,

Im new to the LOC, had an IS200 Sport for a while now but only recently started making some changes:

new stereo, amp , sub, rims, custom exausts ect

...will put up some pics as soon as i can (once i get my car cleaned!)

Next i was looking to get an hid kit fitted.... any ideas which one is best? Does anyone know of anywhere in london that will supply and fit a good one?

Also has anyone fitted an LED rear cluster... how are they?

cheers- Aj

Hi welcome, front hid lights you can get from prolex and he is in London :D LED lights see Mr Morse he has had the rear lights, and lots of other LED lights on his car :D

The LED rear clusters are pretty good, just have a slight tendancy to condensate.

As gord said, prolex is a good place to get the HID lights, don't worry about having them fitted, its so straightforward, they took all of 15mins to fit :)

nice to see another north londoner on here..... :winky:

[A.J]

Thanks dudes,

and will be ordering the LED tailights too-prob from eBay

....unless anyone can suggest somewhere else??

[Parthiban]

They're almost the same to fit as changing a bulb...... :)

[LexusIS200Sam]

yep, as said. they are really easy to fit! a child could do them Here are the ones i brought from prolex. They are 8300K

Very recommended.

Hi and Welcome to the LOC :)

Imho 8300 k is much too blue (only old beamers and pre Golf 4 riders use it over here).

Prolex does do Meccatune, ask him for 6500 K (stays much closer to the original xenon).

Meccatune is fine but there is an issue with some of the cheaper Hid kits (the wipers of some audi's and beamers stop working once the lights are switched on).

Als long as you don't start the car with lights on all will be fine, if problems do occur some alternative wiring will be needed.....

Sharkman, does this mean you can't have the auto lights option switched on ?

My lights are always on auto and I've not had any problems.......

The rating you choose is all personal preference, the 6500K is much whiter, the 8300K has a hint of blue to it, but I prefer the way they really pick up catseyes which makes driving down unlit motorways much easier :winky:

What sort of cost ?

[Parthiban]

What sort of cost ?

Can't remember exactly but think they were £250 from Prolex

[Sharkman]

250 pounds or a bit cheaper might be about right for meccatune with guarantee. Fitted over 40 sets so far and especially the audi's and volvo's are having big electrical problems with the cheaper kits.

Believe me putting your Xenon lights on before starting your car will at least shorten the life expectancy off some parts by years.....
