Question Where can I get after-market hyper brights

Does anyone know where I can get lexus parts online? I am looking for hyper brights (or HID), and clear front corner covers.



Thanks

e bay.. some of the best lights that are not HID lights are the PIAA lights. they are around 60-70 bucks for a pair. the clear corner you can also get on e-bay.

oh yeah don't buy those blue headlights that are on e-bay that claim to be HID or brighter. they are all fake. they are just regular bulb running at higher wattage that will cause your wire harness to melt. and the way they got the light to be blue is that they dip them in a thin layer of blue. make sure you don't buy cheap stuff for your lexus

If you want OEM HIDs call Steve Ganz @ Carson Toyota

gonzo4u@earthlink.net

Write that number down. Its very hard (damn near impossible) to beat his prices on Lexus parts...

Globe, what do you suggest for "The closest Halogen to HID"?
I would like to keep the wattage of the stock bulbs(50-55Watts) while improving the color temperature. Didnt you mention that the color temperature is what provides the HID look w/out actually having HID lights? I want the blue HID hue as much as possible.....Tiny

most aftermarket bulbs run at higher wattage than stock bulbs. Even PIAA and Raybrig. I think I've seen some PIAA bulbs that are running at around 60w but can output 110w. You might want to see those.

If you want HID look halogen bulbs you can try PIAA Plasma Blue bulbs. PIAA Platinums aren't bad either. Or look into Raybrig. But I think the Plasma Blues look the best.

I would suggest:

PIAA super plasma. Plasma Blue bulbs. runs at I think 60w but can shine like 100w. Those won't burn your harness.

Good find Jmai. That is the cheapest price I have seen.

Can you find a good price on the Philips HID kit (9006 application)?

thanks
