lexum Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hi all, I was hoping that someone could give me some info on wether or not the 2001 rx300 HID headlight assembly is an easy swap with the 2000 rx300 standard headlight assembly. I assume that I need the HID ballasts but is the wiring the same and will they fit ?? Thanks so much for any info....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwest Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 NOT! The headlamp assembly will likely fit perfectly but the auto-leveling ECU and servomotor drive system is under the dash near the stearing column and the height sensor for leveling is mounted on the right rear axle. Additionally there is some sort of communication within the 01's onboard LAN/multiplex communications system that prevents auto-leveling operations above a certain speed, ~5MPH(??).

lexum Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 OK - so it sounds like not the best idea.... If I took an '00 rx300 and an '01 to a dealer or professional shop and asked them to make swap would it be possible or a waste of time ? and If I just swapped the headlight assemblies would I be able to utilize the HID abilities or is there something else I would need ? Thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 if you have 6000 to blow on hid's then you can get them done like oem if not just get an aftermarket kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwest Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I traded up from 00 to 01 to get HID, VSC, and regretably the useless gps/nav was part of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
