I thought the same thing about the light output until I adjusted them. It’s a must that you adjust them after install to get the best light output. I had to adjust mine down quite a bit if I remember correctly.

Bro idk what you're talking about with the vland headlights. I'm from Cali and I'm military currently stationed in the UK and bought a right hand drive spec 2IS when I got here a few years ago. England is 99% of the time cloudy, rainy, and it gets bitch black dark during the fall/winter at 3pm. These headlights SAVE ME all day and night! There are almost no streetlights in the UK even on highways (the government just doesn't see the need for streetlights when people have headlights is their logic). These headlights are pretty much a necessity for anyone with a 2IS in the UK. The light output is crystal white and I can see further than with the old, oxidized, crusty halogen yellow bulb projector headlights my pre-facelift car came with. Before buying the vlands I even tried scrubbing the factory lights and got rid of all the oxidation... still wasn't a comparison. With my high beams on in the dark I can see minimum 3 times further than with the factory pair. No joke, A LOT of people here who own a 2IS have the vland headlights. I'm not talking car enthusiasts either... I'm talking regular people with 0 other mods on their cars besides the headlights because they just want to see at night and vland runs a monopoly on the 2IS market. I even saw an elderly woman with the vlands on her car at the grocery store a few weeks ago LOL.

Vland tail lights look dope, but I dislike how they stick out so much compared to OEM. It does get a bit of a "Sid from Ice age" kinda look. That's why I'll keep my tinted stock ones. Headlights look 10/10 though! All the other mods you've got look bangin aswell 👌

The thing with headlights and bulb type is a lot of buyers don’t factor in their eyesight as part of the equation. This is why car guys have mixed views about stock and Aftermarket headlights.

Whew try modding the is2 convertible. I've gotten 2 out of 6 items which fit my car. Lexus kept the 2014-2015 is250 and 350 convertibles same as previous gen in comparison to the sedan. The is250 and 350 2014-2015 received new bumper and dash and radio setup (I wished Lexus would have implemented these upgrades with the convertible, but is what is. So I've ordered a aftermarket front bumper upgrade kit and I have thought about a dash and radio upgrade, but then again, I plan on keeping my is250c as my weekend luxury/sport convertible while acquiring a newer F Soort crossover/suv. One thing is certain, I will be buying Lexus for myself and my family.

I was thinking of getting the VLand headlights, but I think that I’ll just keep the stock ones, and just upgrade the bulbs to LED’s after seeing this. I love the look, but living in the south I need better lighting quality. I think that I’m going to get the smoked VLand taillights though. The VLand tails look great on your car. Especially with that pearl vinyl wrap!😁

They did do a re-release or 2nd iteration of the vlands headlights my output on my headlights are amazing and for me the car doesn’t need to be on for the led check marks to be just be sure that if you do order the vlands in hopes to get the newer iteration that you get them from the vland website because the older ones are being sold on eBay and things like that
