DJ Wozza If you are staying with Halogen bulbs, Osram Silverstar are very good Smile


Thanks guys,

Ive sussed it out now lol,

What bulbs would you recommend to give not jsut better lighting but a more "Xenon" effect light?

My lights are quite decent as standard but a bit mroe would be nice, i jsut hate the yellow tinge they have!

Don't think you can install aftermarket HIDs on the IS220.

You can fit HIDs to the mk2 IS, just need an H11 kit.

You can get kits as cheap as £35 on ebay, and the difference between HID and normal bulbs is absolutely massive - my personal opinion is that normal replacement bulbs are a bit of a waste of money.......

Plus aftermarket HID kits are illegal Wink

PIAA bulbs are mega bright but also questionable for use on the roads. There are some Halfords 150% brighter ones which were on offer last time I went in which will do the job just fine.
