Default My Car with new parts

Finally got the oem HID headlights and Ksport coilovers for my 2000 Platinum series es300. The car is dirty but you get the picture The front has no gap between the tire and fender and the rear has maybe a finger gap. The ride is very harsh but hopefully I will have time to mess around with it and make it softer. Havent had the time to wash my car but here goes...










hope you like em

Plat, very cool setup for the coilovers and the HID lamps. I love the tight look of the suspension on the Platinum Edition wheels

For the headlights, did you install the auto-leveling system also?

Im actually having some issues with the headlights right now...I went to a friends shop and found out that there is no way to use the auto level on the car unless it came installed from the dealer somehow you have to rewire the car i think cuz the autolevel is connected to the suspension...im not sure but i need to find a way to relevel my headlights. I cant even drive at night because one healight is higher than the other one.

As for any trouble with the headlights, you have to go and buy everything for it, not just the housing, for it to work. The seal that holds the HID bulb in is different from the halogen headlighs, the harness that goes to the high beams is also different. overall its just a headache right now and im really debating on what to do with it. ill keep everyone updated when i decide what to do.
