Sparkystav When fitting these mate, did you have to drill the hole at the back bigger to fit in the threaded part?
No mate, they fit nicely through the existing holes. No permanent changes has to be made to the headlights. In fact, these are the only tools I used for this mod:

el_bandido Do is300 headlights come with HID ballasts and self levelling bits?
They do. If you've got an IS300 or an IS200 with factory fitted HID headlights you've already got everything to make the projector retrofit legal. The only thing I'm not sure about is the size of the hole in the HID reflector, but I can't imagine it being smaller than the halogen version.

Edit: I just realized I actually have a standard IS200/300 HID headlight in my garage. I'll measure the hole later today.

Edit 2: If you're thinking about ordering a kit, don't forget to tell the seller you want RHD projectors, otherwise you'll get LHD ones.

For the right price, I would seriously think about it.

Well I would be interested. The only problem would be getting hold of the is300 headlights.

I just checked my IS200/300 HID headlight and the hole is certainly big enough, maybe even too big. This is what it looks like:

Mind you, the auto leveling sensors aren't located inside the headlights, but here:

Great guide! Can't believe that it doesnt need drilling or cutting

So for this to be a legal retrofit, I have to install something on the front and rear of the car then wire it all up?
