These are my original wheels powder-coated in dark Anthracite. Your ones don't look like anthracite to me. Originally they were notorious for the bubbling problem. Lexus swapped them out many times in the 3 year warranty period. Since powder coating it's been in good shape so far and much easier to clean too.

They fit and you DO NOT need any wiring modifications whatsoever. I had these installed on my 2006 IS250. Pictures of my old lights below. I eventually switched over to the VLAND rears. The only modification you need to do is bend back two of the metal tabs on the boot-lid where the light fits. I put a comparison pic of the metal tabs so you can see below

No worries, the 3IS intake isn't aftermarket. It's genuine lexus intake with same sound if not better that comes with all F sport petrol models of the 3rd gen IS. Whereas the fsport metal pipe is an optional accessory for the American market, all explained in my Instagram highlight story. Not sure why you are not able to see it though.

Main headlight bulb

I would just buy two new osrams. Even if I bought OEM, I would personally replace both as a pair because the colour won't match as the other bulb would have aged. -

Now it's time for some new bulbs. If upgrading to the Osrams make sure you change both bulbs
