Default Brand new to Lexus! 99 LS

I just purchased a 99 LS400 last Saturday and I love the car. It's a bit harder on gas than my previous car, but it's much nicer and smoother than I could have imagined. Anyways, just had a few questions about some things after a bunch of searches and realitively no answers.

I've been looking into a few light mods, however I'm having a hard time finding replacement clear side markers and fogs (mine are foggy).And, short of paying $500, are there no replacement tails for the UCF21? I've seen plently for the 20 on eBay and such, but not love for the 21?

Also, what K rating are the OEM HID's? I've got a set of aftermarket HID's that I want to get new bulbs for and run in the fog lights, but I want to match the OEM bulbs in the headlights... or just possibly upgrade it all to 6500k.

Another thing I've noticed is that the hood near the wipers, primarily on the drivers side, vibrates or wobbles at 65+. I looked briefly but didn't see any way to stop this easily... Any one else have the same problem on theirs?

Overall I am VERY pleased with this car and am planning on driving it for quite a few years to come. I'll also post pictures sometime later this evening.

search for answers, we'l like u more faster

no alternative for tails, you should be able to find clear fendermarkers *the tiny ones* on ebay, to get clear turn signals u have to take the sidemarker off the car and manage to break the plastic/glass orange bit inside the housing.

oem bulbs are 4300k, just like all other oem bulbs.

most of the aftermarket stuff for your car is available in japan so youll have to import it if you want it.
