Putting Hid On The Prestige!

[sPY-007]

Hey fellas,

Got a prestige but as we all know it, halogen lights are no where as good as HID!

Has anyone tried putting HID Xeon lights on the car? If so where did you get the conversion kit and for how much?

Thinking it of doing it myself but not sure if its that simple like plug and play =P

Any thoughts? I live in Sydney.

Hi Spy-007,

This aussie forum is basically dead with not a lot of people posting anymore. You're best off checking out international forums instead.

Basically, there are some great DIY guides out there that show you how do it:

If you are new to the 2nd Generation IS (or 2IS) here is a great starting point:

Lastly, it would appear that the updated 2007 IS250 will allow buyers the choice of HID's, and Lexus in Sydney have recently offered 18 inch wheels as an option (it wasn't an option when I bought in March). How much does that suck!!

Thanks for your help Kinj. Great info.

I know the dealer reasonably well and got a solid price for the car. But he did say Lexus will bring in the 18" wheels next year. So instead of them being replacement parts, they become optional upgrades. How much is Sydney offering them as an upgrade? Do you know what offset the 18 wheels run off?

( I am assuming you bought new 18 inch wheels =0 )
