Hello Hello =)

I believe that the Lexus GX470 uses H3 bulbs for the fog lights.

We currently have no group buys running however we will be running a special next month.

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!

Hello,

It would be my pleasure. I know that the GX 470 uses H3 bulbs for the fog lights as some of our customers have already purchased kits for their fog lights. From my understanding however, installing the fog lights is not as "plug+play" as our H11 conversion kit.

Hello,

Out of curiousity, are there any members in Toronto that would be interested in installing our product in their fog lights? The reason I ask is because I would be more than happy in providing you with a discounted price in exchange for some detailed fog light installation pics. I personally do not have access to a GX470.

Please send me emails at info@xenondepot.com.

Regards,

Steve

PS I wish I could provide you guys with more information however I do not want to mislead you in any way.

Default 4300K Kit!!

I recently installed the XenonDepot 4300K H11 kit to replace my standard headlights. Let me say the 4300K lights are great! Not too blue and no trace of yellow. Very white with a hint of blue. Some Acura MDX owners that used a XenonDepot H11 HID kit have seen yellowish color, but I think it is related for the Acura reflector/projector. The Lexus GX470 projector looks terrific with the XenonDepot 4300K H11 kit! There is no blue haze (like you sometimes see from bulbs with high color temperatures). The beam is sharply focused. I have broken in my bulbs with about 75 minutes of use so far. This XenonDepot kit is awesome!

The only thing I would suggest that XenonDepot could do to improve their kit is to include a plug-cap for the factory headlight wire on the passenger-side. The kit uses the factory headlight wire from the driver's side to activate the relay which turns on the Xenons, but has no use for the passenger side OEM wire. It would be great if the kit came with a plug-cap so I wouldn't need to tape it up using electrical tape.

I decided to route the wires a little differently. Instead of routing the power cable to the passenger side through the front of the engine compartment (near the radiator), I routed it along the back wall of the engine compartment. I thought it would be safer than running it in the front of the vehicle so close to the hood latch and hot radiator. I tucked the wire behind the removable plastic cover on back wall of the engine compartment. This worked well for me, and I feel pretty good about it.

Hello,

Unfortunately we did not have any takers. The H3 kits are in stock and ready to ship....

Our H3 kits are designed so that the bulbs are shorter than with our standard kits. This has been done to ensure that they are beam pattern correct.

Regards,

Steve

Steve@xenondepot ,

Hi. You said you would be having a discount for memebers starting Nov. 1st. I'm in the need of a H11 4300K kit for our GX, which just arrived. I also purchased a 6000K kit over the summer from you for my father-in-law's GX. I see the 4300K H11 kits are currently $449.

Thanks,
Steve

4300k H11 is the kit for your GX, it's OEM fit and same look as your GS400.
