I bought my gs300 2 weeks ago previous owner installed HID headlight system which are super bright no exaggeration easy covers 45-55 yards(half football field). A bit ago encounter a cop face to face after I turned so did he and followed me about about a mile till I parked, from doing my research before purchasing my lexus I remember reading that 1999-2000 gs300 come with factory HID headlights I'm considering changing to those.
Where can I purchase original HID headlights?(links/websites please) Do I need to buy a kit?
can I remove aftermarket back into factory ones?
Hows the process?
any help appreciated, Thanks God Bless

Your headlights probably just need to be re-aimed. If you do want oem hids you'll either have to do a retrofit or buy different headlights. From what i understand the OEM halogen headlight and OEM HID headlight have different beam patterns

Here's what you do:

Go on www.SewellParts.com
Make an account with them.
Register your CL account.
That gives you major discounts.
They got all OEM parts.

I believe this is what your looking for below:

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/oem-cat...S430-2001.html

Check that out. Think about what you really need. Also, do not be discouraged by those prices on that link. Once you make an account with them and reference your CL account, the prices will drastically drop.

Good luck. If you need any help with removing headlights, bulbs, OEM HID, etc. just ask. I've familiar with it.

Not all 1999-2000 GS came with OEM HIDs. One of my GS's came with factory HIDs. it's the entire headlight. The stock ballast sits underneth the headlight housing. OEM HIDs also come with auto leveling feature.

first step is the removal of the HID system install.
I'll be purchasing original HID headlights as the car came with 4300K I believe, where's the best place to buy them?

6k HID kits should give off a white light w/ slight blue tint. Factory GS HIDs do not look like 6k aftermarket kits..

This is a 6k kit on my 99' GS (no autoleveling)



And this is stock HID w/ autoleveling on my 98' GS, along with 5k aftermarket kit on my motorcycle

Get 5000k it'll look better than 6000k.

are you asking which ones you might have? Their should be a tag on the HID wires, or even look on the bulb. You can also google HIDs and find a chart that has a output of the different ones

IMO factory HIDs are the way to go.

And to answer this question, yes you can. If there aftermarket 9006 HIDs, It's as simple and installing standard 9006 bulbs.

Oh right on I'll check them in the morning, I'm right with you about the factory ones being the way to go. What site sells the factory ones or aftermarket very similar(brands)?

Just FYI, even if you do get OEM HID it will blind people, plus it wont fit since its DR2? Your best bet is to, either buy HID headlights OR buy HID bowls from someone who has just done a retrofit.

I sold my bowls for $45 shipped I believe.
