thatonejewishguy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm sort of disappointed my Lexus IS 250 didn't come with HIDs, although there isn't much of a selection when picking out a manual, but after having my car for about 3 months I've decided I wanted HIDs. The stock lights that came on my Lexus aren't bad but I look at the back of my car at night and see the bluish/white LEDs for my license plate and I look at the front of my car and the yellow lights aren't cutting it. I've added HIDs and projectors to my last car so I know how the process goes; however, are the stock projectors in the IS the ones you want to be using when you install HIDs? I was looking into getting the 6k HID from JDM MTEC which I read was a ligament brand link I was wondering if I can get some input from somebody who has installed HIDs using non-HID projectors, are they the same projectors with both lights? How do the HIDs look and do they work well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I bought the MTEC kit from them. It's a good kit and they are a reliable seller. You don't need anything else, as projectors are projectors and HID kits work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These pics aren't Mtec, but the install is pretty much the same. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=192254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
