Also, the xenon headlight will have automatic adjusting which only the IS200 LE and the IS300 have, whereas the halogen headlight has manual adjusting by the little dial inside the car itself.

Here's a comparison:

02-02-2019, 01:55 PM #8if you are going for a retro fit, why not look in to projectors at the same time? You can just upgrade your existing lights then.
Jaminglish something like your avatar bandido? is that a retro fit?
I think his avatar is standard light units with CCFL halos fitted.
If you want HID with a flat cutoff your options are fit the IS300 lights, or fit projector lenses inside your current lights.
I'm thinking of doing it at some point, but I'm going to go for the IS300 retrofit myself as I haven't seen any projector kits that don't look 'stuck on'
