Curious if you spend the extra 2-3$$$ to use premium?

Have the same problem. :(

it's not plug and play, it takes a bit of splicing to do the swap.  Retrofitting a 9006 based / Xenon bulb into your stock halogen projectors is the road most people take.  You can get HID headlights (housings, ballasts, bulbs, and all), but you will have to drop your front bumper to remove housings and you will stil have to splice wiring, but you will probably get a bit less glare from Xenon housings..

Lex in Tex- you have some pics of your car? Would like to see the OEM 17s... and the other stuff in your signature!

Crappy credit and I need to payoff in a year! Tipping the scale a little high. Planing a land cruizer in 6 months or so.

WOW_ LOTS of info in there. Thank you guys very much. Neo- really appreciate all the links. What is the NAV you have? I dont have the Naka..... series stereo. Lex01 - I have seen those 3, thank you!

Ah- No problem. Wow. very nice unit. I will look @ that again but I cant do it right this second. Laying down some fairly serious $$$ Cough, Engagement, cough - so - My allownece is dwendling for a few months.

Here are a couple of my favorite installs.  They are using the Pioneer Nav.

Those are very clean - certainly looks... OEM - or very OEM style. Can I ask this, what are the benifits of using this Pioneer units- will the entire factory system work iwth it? The changer, sub and amp?

Thank you!

How difficult and time consuming would it be to exchange the Halogen headlights from my 99 GS to factory HID's without using the auto-leveling? Are they plug-and-play, or would I have to get into all of the wiring harnesses and other stuff? I've heard I would have to so it is not worth doing. Any help, opinions, or directions would be appreciated.

If a factory HID exchange would not be the way to go, what aftermarket HID kits do any of you recommend?

Where can more info be found on this. As far as splicing wiring, is there ADDED wiring to the fuse box?

Neo - where can I find pics of your car? Your all over and the bits and pieces I have seen are sweet. Can you tell us where to get this plug and play kit? I am interested as well.

Wow- really good info in here as well. Thank you-

Actually-... on the question note..

So - As far as lighting - its recommended not to touch them all together?

And.... what about getting the Toyota Emblem on the front?

Lastly - Lexus release a line of OEM aftermarket (like TRD I guess) parts....

what are the called? I understand they may be discountinued, but where can I find them?

Thank you for all help!

I was hoping to get some more info! Through some other reading in here I know understand this is a standard Pioneer system. It also seems clear a fit kit will make the option of getting a DIN radio installed available. Went to the local Car Toys to see what the market had to offer. Although not traditionally my favorite... will poineer work easier if a aftermarket DVD/ Nav system was wanted? Would the CD changer work? Thanks-

Nice info in here. Any pictures of this in a .... GS :D ???

Is it more common to see aftermarket DVD/Navigation or the OEM set up? If the aftermarket is used, any pics of the system installed. How does it look? Factory cd changer still used? I would love to see pictures of some nice installs if possible on the GS models. 1998+

Thanks-

1998 94K

94 toyota 2wd sht box truck...225k (best $500 ever spent) :D

Jeremy at leatherseats.com recommends meguiars leather cleaner. I use it and it works great. <_<

←

I have always enjoyed using Meguirs cleaners pretty well all the way around. Probalby not the #1 possible item avialable, however cerainly sound product as well as available easily and consistently.

Wow. Well, after plenty of years in with VW and Audi, I am here in the Lexus Land. Seems nice so far. I will see how 90 days looks hindsight. I am wondering quite a few things about the car, so hopefully I will get some help!

The car. 1998 Lexus GS300 Silver black leather

Things I would like to know about.

Switching over options. Is it reasonable - or plug and play to use HID from another GS?

Is it reasonable to swap Navigation into the car? I do not believe I have the "Naka......" Stereo, it simply says "premium sound" on the radio (i am sure it says that on all lexus cars, lol ). How do I know what stereo is in it?

I particulary would like to have a toyota badge on the car. What is needed to accomplish this? Will the badge itself from a Toyota model actual just pop in?

Mods I would like. (not looking for to "far out or wild")

Clean 18s or 19s.

Simple - 1" drop

Front lip

Toyota front grill or badge

Roof spoiler

Rear spoiler

Xenon (if OEM will work easy)

Navigation (if OEM will work easy)

Nicer new all season floor mats (hello e-bay probably)

Clear front bumper lights

Clear/red tails (if available for a reasonable price)

About it. On the higher line of things, which I will probably NOT spend on...

Nicer brakes TT or something similar.

Side skirts

Exhaust

Thats about it. I am very happy with it so far. I ahve a crappy 94 toyota with 225K on it, and while I agree that is much different all the way around, buying that car got me doing research on Toyota/Lexus. Next battle is a 98 or newer Land Cruizer, at least 1 year out. Anyways, I have been reading these forums for a bit, and am excited to be here.

Last, aside of.. lexasy and.. the carlson...(may have spelled wrong) what is nice in Lexus Land? If you can refrence web sites that would be really great.

Thanks,
