Default 94 Lexus Gs300

I have a lexus gs300, and I am looking at putting a cold air intake, and some body modifications on it. Possibly some different lights HID Xenons (the super bright stuff) aswell as a different set of fog lights. Any suggestions where I can get some decent deals on certain things light this?

I made a cold air intake using the stock air box and an aftermarket intake tube with a drop in K&N air filter. It works pretty well and it draws cold air in from the front of the car. For my fogs lights I went with Osram Fog Breakers and I love them. Here is a link to my build thread with some pics of the fog lights and the intake. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...tml?styleid=14

Look at post 10 and 28.

If you check out the vendors section you should find some great deal for the Xenon lights.

Do you still gave the stock, oem intake piping? I have one of those intake pipes a lot of people like, and am wanting to get back to stock. PM me if you want to talk about some sort of trade. And pls post pics of that GS when you can.

So these right here? The 15k won't hurt right? I live in the boonies where there are no street lights barely so the brighter the better.

No no no no no! The closer to natural sunlight the better! Lol Don't go past 8000K. I always run 5000 - 6000k. If it rains or snows you wont see $ hit . Trust me. My friend thought that. Couldn't see nothing and lost a $50 bet with me.

But dawg they look so cool in purple lol.

I always go pure white. 5-6k and they are "brighter". They shine farther and light up surrounding area better. I ran the morimoto kit in low beam and fog with Silvanus zxe in high beam. Looks better than my sti with factory hid.

Pictures will be up tomorrow. Weather wasn't looking to pretty today. As for fogs I am running the standard OEM fogs. What should I switch too?

I would get the same k bulbs as your low beams. Or go yellow if that is your style. I prefer all white. You can run hid in fogs as well.

Sorry for delay of pictures for how the car looks before I do all the changes. Weather has been kinda bad and I do not think anyone likes to take pictures in the rain. I have an extra set of headlights I might wet sand with 600 grit to remove some of the yellowing. I have to trace a wire for the left side fog light as it doesn't want to come on. Where does the wire run along for the driver side fog light?
