There are no aftermarket replacements for the GS430 as it comes standard with HIDs. Your best bet would be to do a retrofit, which are both good and high quality, but can be expensive depending on what you want.

Buy OEM headlights from Sewell Lexus. Nothing is better than factory quality parts. Prices are good, and then you maintain a factory, tasteful look.

You can get any aftermarket headlights, preferably stock replacements like these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Headlights-Headlamps-Left-Right-Pair-Set-for-Lexus-GS300-GS400-GS430-/130979869653?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ALexus%7CModel%3AGS300&hash=item1e7f0233d5&vxp=mtr
All you have to do is convert the 2 wires going into your ballasts to 9006 (or whatever bulb is required for the headlamp you choose) and go halogen, or use the wires to go HID and incorrectly use HID's in halogen bowl headlight housings.

Best thing to do is go OEM, the last time I checked, Sewell doesnt offer the headlamps anymore.

But here are a couple of OEM green tint on ebay:

I browsed through sewell and found there's two types of headlights under the "Headlamp - HID".

What's the difference between these two other than the price?

811303A610
UNIT, HEADLAMP, (RH - RIGHT / PASSENGER SIDE) (HID, HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMP OPTION) - $332.43

811303A740
UNIT, HEADLAMP, (RH - RIGHT / PASSENGER SIDE) (HID, HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMP OPTION) - $288.93

It appears the more expensive one has the green tint.
