Neo Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Not sure I understand. HID was an option and not standard on 98 GS300s. Are you saying your OEM HID went out? Do you know if it is just bulbs or are the ballasts out? Replacement HID bulbs should definitely not be $340. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 you need to figure out what is bad first the bulb or the ballsts by stiching the bulbs around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to tell if it's the bulb or the ballast... The service shop (far away from an authorized Lexus dealer) thinks it's the bulb, not the "transformer." =-- so he says. --Maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 well you need to switch the bulbs to see which one is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I don't know how to tell if it's the bulb or the ballast... Like SK said, swap the bulbs. One side is bad but the other is still good. If you swap the bulbs and the bulb lights, then the ballast is bad. If the bulb does not light, well that is fairly obvious. ;) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
