Is350 Driving Lights

[rgspb]

Just took ownership of my new IS350! Love the car but have an issue with the driving lights. The headlights and drl's are both LED and thus the light output color matches nicely. However, the driving lights are halogen and have a yellowish hue. I would love for these to match! Not really looking to make them any brighter, just change the color. I know there are whiter halogens out there, has anyone tried these and may already know what type I should get?

So, no one!?

I would purchase a used set of the 2014 IS350 "HID type" headlights. They'll fit, you'd just need to wire the ballasts to your existing wiring.

I noticed that as well. Have you found any other solutions?

[rgspb]

No I sure haven't. If I could figure out how to get to the bulbs I would just buy some different ones to try. It looks like the inside of the wheel well has to come out to get to the bulb.

you can get aftermarket bulbs halogen bulbs that will sort this issue. If you don't want to go for the HID upgrade then this would be the best option.

Go for quality though

[rgspb]

That was my thought. I think trying to hack HIDs in there would be overkill. There are so many different color bulbs out there it will be a trial and error thing. I just have to figure out how to get to them.

[Steve]

there are plenty of stores online, you just need to get a known brand, steer clear of cheap chinese imitations.

Phillips is a good brand.

I did find these, but that's a little pricey, $171 each. There's also no guarantee that they will match the color of the headlight LEDs.

[Steve]

hmm that sounds too much... that is HID prices... $50 would be about right.

something like these

I'm just not sure if the HID color is the same as the LED color of the headlights. I'll try some different bulbs and see what happens.

[rgspb]

I just found a similar post on another forum so I'll update this one when I know more.

The Phillips ebay bulbs look like the solution. Thx!

I noticed that the fog lights were the different color. Maybe fog lights need to be different?

[rgspb]

Actually these are driving lights, not fog lights which are yellow. Turn these on in the fog and you'll go blind! There's a bit of confusion with some automakers these days as to which is which. I went with a pair of LEDs for the driving lights and they are a great match for the other lights.

[VBdenny]

Fog lights are more determined by the pattern of the light flow rather than the color. Driving lights and fog lights seem to have merged into a foggy thing.
