Hello Lexus owners. I was just wondering if any 1 will be intrested in getting a cover that goes around the HID blubs. I gives it a more blue color to it. I am thinking of selling them but don't know if there will be n e buyers...the price will be around $200 for 2 covers

I might be interested if I can see a few good pics of the tone they set at night time. My HID's start off blue, then they turn to a pure white color. Please post whatever pics you can, thanks.

I think we saw these covers a few months back...supposedly the reduce the amount of lumens that are projected.

ANY cover which is tinted will reduce light output, tho possibly not enough to affect vision to a significant degree.

sTWO, your (factory) HIDs may whiten up some, but compared to quartz halogen, you should still see a distinctive blue/purple tint. This is less apparent from the driver's seat, but oncoming cars will certainbly see a pronounced difference.
