I have that exact car, 2002 black on black GS 430. Great car love everything about it.
Can I ask you a question? Does yours have the yellow fog lights and a yellow driving light next to the white hi beam bulb? I'm trying to find out if the guy that had it before me put in the yellow bulbs or if that is stock?

Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure the yellow fogs are stock. My GS430 came stock like that. and yes there are small city lights in the same housing as the hi beams

My 03 GS430 was at 70,000 miles when i got mines also. For some reason why your steering doesnt match the other wood trim, faded?
