if he can do it to lex400sc's car, he can do it to your GS. I'm letting him have my car to do the install next week. from pics and information from other parties, yes, my HID's will be brighter than your 8000K too! hehe just kidding.... but who knows... i'm no HID expert.

If you are so unhappy with your GS, why did you get one in the first place?

You think 8000K looks good, some people think this looks good...
Just goes to show how much your personal opinion means Especially since you know squat about HIDs.

I have read your past posts and all you seem to write about is how BMW is better than Lexus. If your so infactuated with BMW, then stop fixing up your GS300 and sell it and stick to BMW. I don't think ClubLexus needs half-assed clowns who can preach BMW on Lexus forums and expect a whole turnout of members to follow him.

I think Lambo's look better then GS's too.....so should I leave because of this?
And I am not looking for a following, I just say it how I see it.
