^some modification required in the HID's... its already a D2R opening, and it differs from halogen ones a little bit.

Assuming boring out the hole since HID bulbs are 'weird'.

Sorry... I don't have a Lexus so I don't frequent here much...

But yeah, the foglights are 3K HIDs...

I'm not the owner of the car, nor do I live near the owner any longer so I won't be able to snap anymore pics other than what is posted... They are still alive and working though!
