Notes
Xenon Models but AFS Feature must be disabled OR you WILL run into error message issues • Will NOT fit 2011-2013 Models with Xenon from Stock due to additional Pin Configuration.
Can fit preface 2006-2010 IS250/350 with Xenon from stock, but you will receive AFS and Auto-Leveling error message. You are also downgrading from Xenon to Halogen Low Beam Bulbs.
Install Guide
Halogen vs HID vs LED
Auto lighting
The current Auto lighting industry has three standard bulb technologies integrated for headlight use. The three headlight standards are
1) Halogen, 2) HID, or 3) LED based.
Advantages for LED
HOW TO TELL IF I HAVE FACTORY XENON
There are a few ways to check but the requirement is that you must have stock setup.
BI-XENON
“Bi-Xenon” means high and low beam are both genuine xenon HID, but the real (OEM Standard) bi-xenon is that the Low and High Beam uses the same xenon bulb and ballasts in the same projector which that projector has an electric controlled shutter built in (in front of light bulb but behind the glass projector lens).
AUTO-LEVELING
(ELECTRONIC SELF-LEVELING)
Auto-Leveling is the new feature that was introduced in the late 90. Auto-Leveling is a feature that incorporates a motor/servo built in a headlight which operates/actuates the headlight's inner adjustment mounts, which moves the Beam output angle up and down (either by car's ECU/OBC automatically or via a Self-Leveling Switch inside the car cabin). This headlight feature is to provide the best lighting angle for the headlight beam output, which helps maximizes the driver's visibility while also doubling to help not blind the oncoming traffic.
ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHT SYSTEM (AFS)
Introduced to the high end vehicles around year 2003, the AFS differs from Auto-Leveling that moves up and down, instead moves the headlight beam left / right to help driver see the upcoming curved road better. Rather than the mechanical linkages employed in earlier directional-headlamp systems, AFS relies on electronic sensors, transducers and actuators. Other AFS techniques include special auxiliary optical systems within a vehicle's headlamp housings. These auxiliary systems may be switched on and off as the vehicle and operating conditions call for light or darkness at the angles covered by the beam the auxiliary optics produce.
A typical system measures steering angle and vehicle speed to swivel the headlamps. The most advanced AFS systems use GPS signals to anticipate changes in road curvature, rather than simply reacting to them. To know whether you have AFS system or not, you can see if your headlight beam moving left / right when you change the direction of the steering wheel, but again that is not 100% scientific, so the best way is actually call to any dealer and give them your VIN number and they will be able to let you know if you have stock equipped AFS headlight or not.
DAY-TIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL)
DRL stands for Daytime Running Light which originally was developed and used in countries that are more prone to foggy conditions and it is a safety feature which has now become standardized by many car manufacturers. In some countries, it is by law required features (such as Canada). Please note that the DRL feature is not site specific on a vehicle. As long as the supposed “DRL” Light remains on during the day (with the Parking Brake disengaged) and turns off OR becomes dimmer (automatically) when the “Parking Light” Light is engaged, then the supposed light should be your DRL.
There are two main types of Day-time Running Lights Halogen DRL vs. LED DRL. There are other types of DRL, however to keep things simple, we will focus on the two main types. The picture example above shows the different projections between LED and Halogen.
DRL may use your low beam or high beam or others, but it is normally supplied only with 27.5W power versus the original 55W halogen bulbs used in the halogen low beam or halogen high beam. So it might create an issue if you upgrade a genuine xenon HID system to the headlight if the DRL function is using the new xenon HID system. This is because standard xenon HID needs 35W to power it, while DRL is only supplied with 27.5W, it means the system is underpowered. Flickering, error message, not able to fire it up would be the common issue if you have DRL powering the HID system. To solve it, the installer can either disable the DRL feature altogether or do minor re-wiring so the DRL is powering something else other than the new HID light.
KELVIN TEMPERATURE
Kelvin temperature is commonly mistaken for the heat or brightness output of the HID Bulb. The Kelvin temperature only deals with the "color" output the Bulb emits as each colors covers a certain Kelvin range. The "K" for instance in "8000K" represents the certain bulb color temperature output, and it's the abbreviation for the word Kelvin. Below is a chart showing you the range of the Kelvin temperatures. Lower Kelvin temperature will emit a more red output. The normal halogen lamp color temperature is rated at 3200K.
VEHICLE SPORTS PACKAGE OR BUMPER
Car manufactures have recently implemented Sports packages for certain of their chassis by creating a sub-segment that widens their market and to fulfill market demands. Sports packages are commonly associated with performance cars such as Audi, BMW, MBZ, and Lexus. Each car manufacturer have their own Sports package brand.
PRE-FACELIFT VS FACELIFT
Most car's production period (chassis life) is around 4 to 6 years. In between each chassis production period the car manufacturer usually will make minor improvements (design-wise and/or engine-wise) after 2 to3 years after its initial chassis introduction. This is to update the car's look and to stimulate market. The first half of the production period (before the manufacturer updates the chassis) is commonly referred as Pre-Facelift, whereas post half of the chassis production period is referred as Facelift.
Life Cycle Impulse (LCI) - BMW term for facelift or update to existing series. Life cycle inventory, part of a Life cycle assessment to stimulate sales. LCI is typically known as "Facelift" for BMW vehicles.

Easy to install. No BS!
I buy this headlight for my Lexus ISF 2008. Easy to install if you watch YouTube video. I would recommend, if you like to keep it a bit of original. Wires are easy plug and play.

OEM Quality and refreshes the look of a 2IS
This review was long overdue. I got these after seeing how great they looked on neighbor's IS. Ever since installing these, they've infinitely upgraded the look of my IS250 as well as increased visibility at night (the old headlight lenses were hazy). I don't miss the Lexus AFD feature which you lose once you install these.

Is250 Depo headlights are great!
Bought these for my 2007 IS 250. I wanted to dump my problematic HID system and these headlamps did the trick. These are plug and play. No need to clip wires. No need to make any modifications. Just swap them out and plug them in. Easy! And they look and work amazingly well! Tons of compliments!
The installation itself was easy. Removing the bumper took 10 minutes. Installing the actual headlamps took under 10 minutes. It was very very easy..
BUT reinstalling the bumper alone was a hassle. It took me about an hour to re align it properly. I would highly recommend help from a friend. This of course had nothing to do with the product, more to do with the stupid bumper brackets under the car and my inability to ask for help.

Very good quality and easy install.
These lights look great at night and during the day specially the Lexus checkmark that glows brighter since it's wired directly to the battery. Lights are easy to adjust and easy to replace the bulbs when needed. It's a great product and a great upgrade for 06-10 models.
