4500K would be best for the ES300 w/ projectors.... Here are some pics of 5500K in our car (should have gone 4500K): http://www.liteswap.com/Merchant2/merchant..._Code=es3005500

I mounted the ballast to the washer bottle and the battery tray... Installation took less than 45 minutes... had to undo the bolts to the washer bottle to have access to the lights. Here was the grounding point on the passenger side: The driver side was grounded to a similar bolt, but on the front ....

Guys, http://www.liteswap.com is having a "secret" sale. There is a program to donate $100 to charity for a tax deduction on their front page, but if you don't want to give to charity, you can choose to take the discount for yourself! Use the coupon code "aprilshowers" This is only good on the 9006 kits and supplies are limited.

That was a 5500K kit... The 4500K would be my suggestion. The cutoff is still very nice because of the projectors... it isnt as defined as a OEM HID projector but it is enough so that it does not generate excessive glare. I'll see if we can get a group buy going :) Would there be interest?

ok... got it in, but I didnt get a chance to take pics because it was daylight out. I will get some later. The pic on the left is the Catz 5500K and the pic on the right is our Acura Integra w/ Silvania Silverstar 65W bulbs.

Thanks for the tip. I'll get pics posted tomorrow!

regular price was $490, but there is a group buy going on on a Ford Probe board. If you use the coupon "probetalk-bulkbuy" it knocks $60 off! Im looking at the headlamps right now... man.. there is not much room to work with... I hope I can get the HID bulb in there without removing the headlamp assembly... I dont want the HID bulb to touch anything as it is supposed to be pretty fragile...

I personally am putting a Catz HID kit in the ES300 tomorrow. Mine takes 9006, but they have H7 too. http://www.liteswap.com Just make sure when buying a kit, you dont go over 6000K and fine a maker that uses bulbs with a molded, not glued, base. Catz kits have this and their components are OEM on Lexus.

Just be careful of the kit you buy. Not all kits are created equal. Also, Philips does not make a kit. They make components which people bundle and conviently call a "Philips Kit". It might have an inferior bulb, or inferior manufacturing process in adapting the bulb to fit 9006, sometimes using glue. Find one with a molded base. I am installing a 4500K Catz HID kit from http://www.liteswap.com tomorrow. I will post some pics when I am done. The ballast and igniter Catz uses is OEM in Lexus HID :)
