I'm not sure where it happened exactly but as I walked by the front of my 98 GS400 somthing didn't look right....some piece if !Removed! stole my foglights! Anyone know where I can get a new set and about how much they will cost? I didn't see any wires cut or bulbs hanging so what else might have been taken and will I need to replace the lenses?

Thanks in advance,

Carmen

I placed a similar post about a month ago and it disappeared. I took my GS400 to Lexus for an oil change and said by the way change my headlight bulb that was out. When I went to pick the car up the service person said he was sorry and told me it would cost over $400 to replace and asked me if I still wanted it or should they take it out. I told them to take it out and eventually had them replace it because I couldn't find on on my own. Two days later I took it back in because I noticed the new light was yellow not white/blue and it did not match the original (remaining) light. They told me that when the lights get older they yellow.....hmmm..... I might believe that but the yellow one is the one they just replaced for $400+!!! They didn't believe me until I showed them the receipt and the still wanted to look it up in their records.

After a wise crack from the service person asking what I wanted them to do about it and I almost blew a gasket they finally replaced the bulb again (they said they replaced both but I don't believe them). Magically they were both the same color. You bet your *** for $400 for a bulb it better be right. When I bought my Lexus I thought the Lexus service should be head and shoulders above the rest but it seems about the same, just overpriced.

Anyway I eventually did find out that you can order it from Sylvania (Osram) but it's $165 and I actually had to email someone there to get the quote because it showed on the website but you could not actually order it there.

Went to Lexus for maintenance on my GS400 and needed a Xenon HID bulb replaced.... they wanted to charge almost $300 for the bulb Plus labor. Can this be correct?
