Default Whats the diff between Titanium-finished HID headlights and HID

Does anyone know the difference in: Titanium-finished HID headlights and HID?
The sport package comes with Titanium-finished HID headlights.

Just cosmetic, that's all. The 98-00 HID comes with silver housing, the 01-03 comes with greenish housing and the 02 Sport Design comes with Smoke housing. Then the 03 Sport Design comes with titanium housing. The light still work the same.

From what I read on here, there are FOUR different version of the GS lights??

1) The clear ones from the 98-00

2) Greenish tint ones from 01-present?

3) SMOKED ones from 02 Sportdesign??

4) Titanium ones from the 03 Sportdesign.


All along I thought the smoked ones was the titanium ones?

Anyone have a good picture of the greenish tint lights? I want to have a side by side pic of #2, #3 and #4 so we can see which ones looks better.

I will rule #4 out if its $750 for one side, Steve say it isn't so !!!!!

I believe there is only 3, the 98-00 with a darker glass, 01-+ with a greener tint glass, and the new 03 SD with the titanium housing. The 02 SD has the same green tint glass without any smoked housing

Did Steve happen to give you a price. I just got off the phone with Gordon and Steve and Angel are off today. I want a set and the only reason I didn't order was the price. I'm Glad I was wrong. I just called
Nothside Lexus here in Houston they quoted me $1500.00 They also said I couldn't convert it on my 300.
Unless I had the computer. Whats that guy talking about could someone fill me in? I ask for the 03-04
titanium lights. Thats why I buy everything from Cal. Thanks for the help. Just got off the Phone with
Gordon and he gave a better price then my local price. I guess that why I don't bither to order local.
