japz Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 The xenon depot kit comes with the harness already, so all you need is the xtreme kit. As far as which kit is the best, xenon depot use a potted ballast which is waterproof. Philips is the best in my opinion, very bright natural light. It really depends on what you are looking for, brighteness? or cool looking color? The bluer the light, the less light output. Also the GX doesnt need a wire harness if you buy quality ballast that draws less than 10 amps on start up, Philips and McCullon makes these ballast and I dont know who else. Good info. Thank you, G Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc H Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 An academic question, but how come Lexus didn't install HIDs in the GX in the first place? My RX had them and they were great - much better visibility, especially on unlit country roads. I would think $$ were not a consideration on a $60K car....

The G Man Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Its not the cost, its Lexus being Lexus. Its the same reason they lockout the nav while the car is moving, its the same reason Toyota remote start shuts off the car if you open the door. Its Lexus and Toyota's lawyer's designing car. They want to be the leader in safety and avoid law suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc H Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ummm...but wouldn't safety be better with HID lamps??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Safer for you but not for the on coming drivers that you blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc H Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I suspect they would be just as blind meeting an oncoming RX, but that's just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The RX's headlight sits much lower than the GX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonystewart Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 http://shop.3bspecialties.com/main.sc These guys are excellent and very fast and reliable. I have bought dozens of kits for Toyota, Lexus & Scion for both headlights and foglight conversions. Never a problem. My two cents T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
