Lights....again...
Unfortunatly we didnt order the HID lights on our 2001 RX. My mom likes the look of them though. What is a good brand of look alikes to get. Is there even a point to switing if it is going to be worse or the same brightness of the stock then i'm not going to change. I just want to change out the DRL and the other big light. What models to thanks. Sorry if this is weird im super tyred.

Ok HIDs are a bit expensive. Now what if I wanted HID look alikes??? Will the quailty be better then stock (I know I shouldn't be as good as HID Quaility). Or should I just get HIDS. They are a bit expensive.

Hey LeXusBoy, I'm in the same situation as you. I didn't want to pay for me would be worthless the Navi package.
I say let's start a groupbuy to get us better pricing.
Can someone post info on how to install HID into non HID RXs?

If you want the look of HID go for the real deal, not just the fake bulbs. They are not worth it, and IMO are a cheap imitation. You can get a true kit starting around $4-500.

Nick, Seems as though I'm following you thread for thread... Oh and I also agree with Nick, you have to go with the real deal HID's if you want some real quality lights..... If you think about it, it really doesn't cost that much... And if it does you shouldn't be in a LEX...........................................................

if you want to go for Look alike Hids bulbs... which WONT compare to REAL HIDS... then look for PIAA RAZO or Raybrigs
those are the only reliable and nice ones on the market.
check ebay or something, you can find good prices there. As for REAL HIDS, you can also check ebay. Sometimes they have good prices on those also.
Good luck
Blue bulbs in front are illegal... i'm just happy i havn't got pulled over yet. I think maybe when cops see my blinding bright HIDS in there face, you can bearly see the blue parking and wedge bulbs on the side because it blends in. Then for the part that i think i can trick the cop would my signaling left or right since they are still the stock amber so the cop would just think to himself... stupid expensive cars...
but ya... hope i dont get pulled over for no license plate then i'll get stormed with all those blue blubs tickets haha

I can't justify the cost of real HID's right now - gotta get that RMM exhaust :-)
But you're right about at least getting quality bulbs - ordered some Razo Premium White Zero's yesterday after seeing them on another guys pics here on the forum - looks like the closest you can get to HID without the $$$
Alright Spin - gotta get back to work here... just make sure you drive fast enough so the cops can't tell your lights are blue ;-)
Later,

Hah
if i'd do get pulled over for license its most likly going to be a fix ticket... so once i fix it and it back on i'm free... something like that i think haha... happen to me when i was driving my sisters car with them superwhite wedges... just fix it and done...
If you looking for the RMM exhaust... check with Sypher... he might be parting with those.
