In enginyrs defense, he said he was kidding, and was just saying that if he can get the bulbs for 350 a pair, he would do that instead of paying 1100... I think hes on the right track.
Second, your comment was the rude one.

how about this???
Well, I thought this thread would simply be some cool pics of an HID mod enginyr did to his GS.
Regardless of what mods people consider a wise or unwise investment, I just don't understand the degree of negativity that comes forward between the folks here on CL. It seems like a couple of CL members harbor some real animosity towards enginyr. If so, then why not just ignore his thread (or simply say, "that mod's not for me"), rather than crap on it.
Lex400sc- while your knowledge of HID technology is definitely extensive, you can only do so much to influence what people do to their GS. I understand your point of trying to inform, though. That's what this site is all about.
Can't we just shake the personal vendettas here and appreciate the modification of Lexus vehicles?????

I don't think anyone has really dumped on the thread, rather lex400sc has once again enlightened (sorry, bad pun) us about this topic and the economic values associated with it.
More of a spirited debate really; if someone states "Lexus OEM lights suck..." then expect a similary phrased rebuttal. More simply stated, a 3rd grade post will illicit a 3rd grade reply usually.
I certainly don't agree with everyone's taste as far as modding, but I have to respect their perogative.
I think also you have to consider the different personalities involved when postiung your reply i.e. like for like
It is a constant battle to always take the "high road" when making posts; some of us just faulter more than others.

I agree with your sentiment, but as stated before, don't make a post and expect nothing but love. Come on, we're about debate here.
I don't think anyone has really dumped on the thread, rather lex400sc has once again enlightened (sorry, bad pun) us about this topic and the economic values associated with it.

If you check my initial post, I give lex400sc all the credit in the world for sharing his knowledge. I know more about HID tech than I did before I came to CL b/c of him....

I do not crap on threads; However, when enginyr starts being rude to other helpful/new members (see_fu) for no reason whatsoever, I will step in. Just because he started the thread, doesn't mean he is absolved from criticism. And I do not have any "animosity" or "vendettas" towards him either.

Man i wouldnt be surprised if a thread on many other car club forums show up with a title " Looks like some clubs cant get along"
with all the links to all the chaos and flaming that goes around here.
and some mods actully leading the war with the phrase "Pasionate Persuit Of A Flaming Forum"

Camren, I know you like to buddy up with your pal enginyr, but care to point out where all the rampant moderator flaming is on CL?

Tame, mature forums such as ClubLexus are almost unheard of these days. You know what else is unheard of is corporate sponsorship on forums. The two are related. Flame boards across the net have no class which is why companies like Lexus would rather not associate themselves with certain "other" message boards out there.
