ralfi Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Hi guys. My name is ralf and i´m from germany. Please excuse my bad english! :whistles: I´m looking for some black headlights for my IS 200. My Lex has already xenon lights, so i´m just looking for the black light-body without the bulbs. I hope you were able to unterstand my prob and you can help me! Thanks a lot! Btw: this is my baby!!
bartkat Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 The ones I know of were taken apart, and coated by some individuals. Not sure about any commercial ones. Have you checked Ebay?

steviej Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 ralf, here is a link for you. www.l-tunedparts.com I linked it right to the black headlight page. This is a subsidiary of Carson Toyota/Lexus in LA. I don't know if the IS300 lights will fit an IS200 as that model is not here in the US. Secondly I don't know what is needed to get them shipped from Japan to the US then to Germany. You might be able to talk to them at l-tunedparts and discuss how to get them from Japan to Germany. you can email Steve (the man at l-tunedparts.com that would know) at gonzo4u@earthlink.net I hope this helps. ps, wicked nice looking car. steviej
steviej Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 oh yeah, I forgot this. If you go for the black out headlights, then you have to complete the set with the black out tails and fog lights found on this page. more black out stuff enjoy. steviej

Welcome to the club! B)
ralfi Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 Thank you for your help the european is 200 is also 6 cylinder but only with 155 hp (stock). it has a manuel 6 shift gear box. In europe the is300 is only available with automatic. but i have still one question: why are the turn lights on the photos orange?? In europe, from 2002 on, the IS has got clear turn lights without the orange stripe. is this different in the us??
steviej Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I believe turn signals in the US must flash amber in the front and flash amber or red in the rear. steviej

In europe, from 2002 on, the IS has got clear turn lights without the orange stripe. is this different in the us?? ← US cars have had amber front turn signals (and parking lights) since 1963. The rear turn signals can be either red or amber. Some people put clear lenses on their US cars, but with yellow blubs, so their cars will look more "JDM" or "Eurospec". US side markers are yellow for the front and red for the rear. Some people will also put clear side marker lenses, but must use red or yellow bulbs, again to stay legal.
zee007 Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 You can get smoked headlamps direct from Lexus delaerships in the UK now. Will be a lot cheaper to send to Germany then getting them from the US.
ArmyofOne Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 thanks for clearing that up guys, i walways wondered. carry on. sorry to get off topic. :)

In europe, from 2002 on, the IS has got clear turn lights without the orange stripe. ← Just to point out - in the UK, the IS300 only has clear turn lights, the IS200 still has the orange strips. And we still have to have a amber bulbs.....
PhoneDrome Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Clear Turnlights = HID Amber Turnlights = no HID :chairshot: Nice smilies :) All new IS have smoked out lights. They can be ordered from German dealership. But me thinks he is searching for black.
zee007 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Clear Turnlights = HIDAmber Turnlights = no HID :chairshot: Nice smilies :) ← Correct....... :D
