Default FS: oem hid bowls

pair of oem hid bowls out of my 01 gs430. I did the ls430 retro and no longer need these. In mint condition with the little levels on them still. Asking $50 for the pair. Lmk if interested. Pics if necessary. I have bulbs also and I can sell those for a little extra.

It actually came out more than most ls retros just because I bought tsx clear lenses..special brackets..etc. I didnt want to go cheap when doing any of it so id say around $400-450 when all was said and done.

I am not too sure on that, but im sure someone has done this or can say from experience. Ive never taken apart a non hid gs light to say it will or wont for sure.

Yes, you'll obviously need ballasts to make it work and a wire harness but they do fit.

These need the clips for them to bolt into non hid housings, I don't see them on your set. Do u have them? They are bigger than non hid clips. If u have them I'll take them.

One is for HID and the other is for Halogen. The design of the reflector is different. The mounting tabs for the clips for the bowl to attach to the housing are bigger on the HID ones, but they both bolt up to the housing fine.

If you are referring to the little plastic inserts where the screw goes into then I don't, I had to use that when I did my retrofit. I have some from is350 and rx330 headlights if those will work for you??

You should check and see if they fit...otherwise these can't be used for a proper HID conversion on the nonHID version.

I brought them inside and the clips are a tad bigger, but if trimmed down with a exacto knife no more than 1mm they will fit. I can provide pictures if anyone is interested.
