How did you just cut into the low beam side without smashing the reflectors to pieces, did you use a dremel or something and tape them or what? Also maybe I should just buy a set of headlights out the junk yard or something so if it goes wrong I'm not stuck, heck you can get an aftermarket pair of the halogens on ebay for like 150 new, although they are not OEM so hopefully the fit would ok? Thanks man!

hey man thanks for the response. Yeah I want to retrofit but I'm not sure what all is involved in that. Is that a cheaper way to go? Reading your story sounds like you spent a bunch too, but I figure it is going to cost 700 if I go with those ones on ebay and buy an aftermarket hid kit. How do you retrofit? Do you just take your lights apart and stick the projectors of something else in there? If so how? Do you cut stuff and glue it or pressure fit it or screw it or what? Please let me know, thanks, oh and my lights are just halogen currently, Jason

Hey everyone I have a 2002 Rx300 and really have it where I want it style wise. I added some really nice aftermarket rims and want to class up the headlamps. I really want projection beams with HID low beams. I know people have done this but iam looking for the easiest way. I found these on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RX300-01-03-BLACK-CCFL-Projector-Headlight-LEXUS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem1c03e55828QQitemZ120324446248QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1396wt_722 this seems the easiest but I worry a bit about spending 600 on something from tiwan does anyone have any advice on the best way to do this. Oh and I did just look at upgrading to a 330 but it appauledme what the offered me for my car that I really do enjoy.

Hey everyone, So yesterday I took a trip in the 02 RX300 and my clumsy brother was in the back. Within 2 minutes he seems to have smashed the rear cupholder in the middle of the rear bench seat to pieces (not even sure how b/c he must have opened it to bread it with his feet). Anyway they are asking, GET READY FOR THIS, 124.00 for this plastic piece of garbage at my Lexus dealer!!! I laughed when the guy said "oh it is that much", and I told him it looks like something that should cost 3.99 at pepboys (which is suprising to me b/c of how high quality everything else is in the car). Anyway, the cheapest I have found online is about 80.00 at newlexusparts.com but the thought of paying 80 bucks for this thing that I never use seems like a waste. I know you may be thinking, well if you don't use it why fix it, and that is just a thing with me, I don't care that I don't use it I want it fixed. And yes my brother should pay for it, but he won't, just the way he is. I checked a junk yard but the guy said there were only like 12 of these cars nationwide in his system and provided no help to getting a used one. Any ideas on finding one reasonably priced? Thanks in advance!

Ok, I found this and I am confused: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00-01-02...d=p4506.c0.m245 I have seen several of these that say they are the Xenon HID lamp but they look like they have reflectors to me, so how did it come factory with reflector lenses and HID??? I thought all HID had to have projection lamps, am I wrong? I am thinking of retrofitting a couple of projectors into normal lamps, but this looks like the ticket if it works, can anyone help me out? Thanks.

What about for an 02? I know you can get the bulbs/ballast/wiring kits, but what about the actual projection lamps? If you put in just the bulbs you will blind everyone. I have only found 1 seller offering a pair of projection beams and they come from Tawain and they want 600 bucks for them!!! There has to be other companies that sell them but I have not found any, does anyone know of an aftermarket projection headlamp for a decent price?

Yeah that looks bad !Removed!, what is the offset I need, sorry I know nothing about wheels so I want to make sure if I get them I can actually put them on. Thanks, j

Hey man, I really like the 2nd and 3rd pictures! Is the 3rd one yours? It looks like in both of the middle pics the lower "gray" body panels have been painted black. I was thinking about doing these wheels below but cant find any pictures with them on an rx300, do you think they would look good?

Yeah, they are the factory, but these are chrome where mine are aluminum. I actually really like the look of mine, just thought something else might set it off more and apart from the crowd.

Hey everyone. I love my RX, but ever since I bought it, it seems that every other car on the freaking road is an RX lol. Anyway, I was thinking of changing the wheels on the car, and let me state I absolutely do not want some kind of G-ride with 22's or anything, I think that looks really horrible on cars. I have seen a standard 16" rim just like mine but chrome and they look ok, but I was thinking maybe something else would look good but just unsure. The only "rims" I have ever changed on a car was on a 72 Chevelle SS I had back in college and I went with chrome Cragars which really set the car off. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, or better yet, pictures with either different year RX's rims on it or aftermarket I could take a look at? I have an 02' model black RX300. Here is a picture of some that are for sales locally but I don't know if they would look good or not.

lexkid, thanks, that is what I figured.

Hey everyone. I am missing the little plastic temperature indicator tab that is backlit just above the temperature control knob in the radio/ac head unit. I've been calling around but no junk yard wants to pop one out for obvious reasons, and Lexus told me I would have to buy some whole bezel/screen/vents that went all the way around everything for a cost of 700+ Anyone know where I can get this thing? I think I'm going to have a problem b/c even on the used market no one would be willing to pop the tab out of the head unit to sell seperate. Do I really have to buy a whole radio/ac head unit to get a .10 cent tab? Thanks, J

Yeah, man that looks nice painted one color, I mean I like mine too, but I think a solid color looks a little better. I guess that is why I really like the look of the 330/350's now. I am having body work done to mine as you may remember from my purchasing it thread, and maybe I'll ask them how much more it would be to shoot the lower part black as well. BTW, awesome pic of the chipmunk :)

How does this even happen?

What an awesome pic!!! I love those trees, I've never been out there and I would love to go. Hey blk_on_blk, is your RX's bottom panel painted black as well, or is it the gray around the bottom? I have the same color on my 02 but my bottom is a dark gray, in the photo yours looks all black to me.
