Will you be posting a video of what the bulbs look like after. I am just curious what it would look like

[@Iniki_]

2 questions: What brand led lights would fit. What type of harness is that. Thank you for this video, I'm looking into doing this for my GS 350.

[@gsxellence]

Wow you've really upgraded from b15 to beast. Proud of you 👍😁

[@PoorManMods]

Thank you!! The b15 was a good stepping stone

[@gsxellence]

@@PoorManMods I hope you get another one

[@ElSheepodoggo]

Thank you so much for the vid. I do wonder if this will preserve the AFS.

[@PoorManMods]

You're welcome, I think you need to add resistors to retain the AFS, the LEDs draw way less current and the car thinks the headlights are off/dead. I removed the fuse for the system

[@mattntk]

Do those bulbs fit with the oem cover, i mean it can be close easily ???

[@akkshun06]

Can you post link to correct fitting led bulbs?

[@HasounGH]

Hi man, I’ve been searching for good explanations for replacing hid to led and you are probably the best, i just want to confirm that if i pass by ballast it may throw an error and AFS won’t work in this case. I have aurion2009 similar to Lexus

[@PoorManMods]

Yeah bypassing the ballast throws a code, I removed the fuse for the auto leveling system

[@HasounGH]

Eventually I did the upgrade myself, I have aurion2009 similar to lexus on your video, my heart was racing until I turn on my car and the LED works perfectly!!! Yet there is no errors like afs or anything on dashboard! No mechanic was interested for this work !! It took me about 5 hours and I really appreciate your knowledge and precise explanation ❤

Just installed LASFIT LAplusD2 bulbs in a 2010 IS250 Convertible . (The original bulb was an HID D4S bulb. )They come with a pigtail so if you have to replace them you do not have to pull the head lights off (or the Bumper) They are very bright , I spun the bulb so the beam was up and down not side to side seemed like a better light beam . the pins on the Lasfit bulb connectors were long and went right into the original ballast connector. I taped them up really good to make sure they would not come out. Also the ballast plug for the original bulb is bulky and could bounce around. So I didn't want it to bounce around so I used the foam the led bulbs came in and secured them with the foam out of the way.

[@4859carcar]

any problems with beam pattern or brightness after you installed? I installed a similar LED bulb in my IS250 headlights, everyone was telling me to position the beam side to side but the beam looks horrible and narrow, maybe adjusting it to up and down like you said might fix my problem

[@tomm.7632]

@@4859carcar We made ours go up and down beam I once the are in the head light it is hard to adjust so we turned them both ways sideways and up and down the up and down sea med to be the better beak

[@dqricardo1921]

Did you do a video with Marty Motoring on installing Vland headlights on the Lexus Is? I can’t find it but I swear i seen it ages ago

[@PoorManMods]

Yeah the video is on his channel

[@michaelboibodas]

So the Depot headlight doesn’t have an awful ballast? It comes with H11 bulbs or the LED bulbs? What is a H11 bulb? And will and LED bulb short out by dirt and deposits flying in from hairline cracks on Lens if I choose to wire an LED conversion kit?

[@ImHere762]

Hey quick question, my 2007 is250 ballast is burnt out too. I bought the Bulbs in your description 👍🏻. Do I have to remove the whole light assembly to get accession the ballast power wires for the new led lit ?

[@PoorManMods]

yes unfortunately the bumper then the headlight have to come off

[@ExtremeRecluse]

I have a 2007 ES350. The low beams have HID bulbs inside a rotating lamp (cornering). I don't have $1000 to spend on new assemblies. What options do I have?

[@griffzillagarage]

When you bypass the ballast does the auto leveling set a code and give a warning on the dash? Also, do these bulbs come with the harness that has the power and ground leads? Thanks. Great job on the video.

[@Daniel-gi1cy]

I heard that you have to remove the fuse for that under the dash so it dows not throw a code

[@griffzillagarage]

@@Daniel-gi1cy I guess we will find out soon. I ordered a set. Will post a video to my channel on installation.

[@abiliobaulane5245]

Have video before in night?

[@ImHere762]

Can I cut the wires on the OEM plug and wire them the the new led bulb without pulling everything apart ?

[@PoorManMods]

nope you need to remove the head light to remove the ballast and cut the wires to the ballast

[@ImHere762]

Looks like the Depo headlights are out of stock, (stuck on a cargo ship) lol, Which other led headlight kit would you recommend? : 2007 Lexus is250

[@PoorManMods]

Darnnn, you could try Vlands

[@p-riff]

Unique style racing’s website says the low beam is an h7, but you said h11 like the OE halogen from lexus. Can you confirm?

[@PoorManMods]

I definitely installed h11 bulbs in the video

[@p-riff]

@@PoorManMods ok thank you!

[@ifoxino]

hi thanks for video, i have lexus is 220d year 2006 and xenon lights. will this headlight work on my IS? thanks

[@PoorManMods]

It should

[@ShafinMH]

Hello, What is the difference between D2S D2R vs D4S D4R? I have a 2007 Lexus IS250, which one should I order for low beam headlights? Thanks

[@adriananzano2292]

S is for projectors, R is for reflectors. D2 runs at higher voltage, D4 runs at lower voltage and does not contain mercury. So while a D4S bulb will fit in a D2S headlight, they are not electrically compatible due to the lower voltage of D4S.

[@Sanjunimedia]

Hello. What bulbs did you install of you remember? The link no longer goes to anything?

[@PoorManMods]

these are the exact bulbs I used, and they are OK. They have spade connectors on them which allow you to bypass the ballast amzn.to/48htLDm These are a newer LEDs bulb which look like they plug into the HID ballast connector if you dont want to eliminate it. But im sure you could cut the connector off and still by pass the ballast if you wanted to like i did amzn.to/41MTS2P

[@richanderson2524]

Do you know if the led bulbs will fit a 2010 es 350. Also, the link to the bulbs doesnt look like the ones you have in the video

[@rafiki2048]

You’d be better off just upgrading the whole headlight housing brother

[@themeparktre4841]

I just purchased these how are they holding up if you mind me asking?

[@PoorManMods]

So far so good

[@themeparktre4841]

@@PoorManMods good I heard people having issues with Version 1 so I see they improved Version 2

[@scribbles65]

Hey Freddy, after purchasing these lights I cannot get the DRL or high beams to work. I have it connected to the battery. What am I missing and how can I test the harness fuse? Any ideas? Wiring is not my strong suit.

[@PoorManMods]

Marty's video might be helpful to you kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJrIf5VuYrB_eKM

[@scribbles65]

@@PoorManMods Yeah, that's pretty much the video I was referencing. I should have been clearer. What is the instrument you used to provide power to test the high beams? I'm thinking of taking everything apart and re-installing again.

[@themeparktre4841]

So I installed them and connected everything but the Daytime running light isn’t strong

Its not very bright

That link to LED Bulbs are not the same ones you installed on ur car

I know, i couldn't find the EXACT bulbs

[@henrybauer296]

You do realize the reason why your headlights keep killing the ballasts is because you are getting water in the headlight. It’s a well known problem with just about every second Gen Lexus IS 2006-2013. The most common leak comes from the upper tab, it cracks and then water gets in to your headlight and the ballast sits on the bottom so it gets ruined.

[@dwindeyer]

The water is going to kill the LED light as well eventually

[@justinkredible33]

Will this bypass method work for 2006 Lexus GS300? I Fuggin hate this HID Ballast BS 😡 😤

[@PoorManMods]

I cant say for sure since i never opened that car up, but i would imagine it would be extremely similar.
