First I would recommend using Periods.

Second, FS Section will do wonders.

Thanks for the thread, made me look them up again to find out the price has dropped dramatically. Go to Sewell Lexus and with your CL screen name you can get them for $332. Cant get any cheaper than that. There is no aftermarket headlamp with the HID option. If you buy these from Sewell, you're gonna have to ask if they have the non 'green' ones, if not, then you might be buying yourself a set rather than just one.

Actualy is the Revesre..Sewell's Price has gone up.. They used to @ $580 for a pair of Green Tint HID and @$500 for non Green tint
Now they are almost $700 after shipping.. $332 is the price of EACH not the PAIR..

QUALITY costs. They're worth it! I bought mine off sewellparts last November. They're still liking and shining brand spanking new. To anyone reading this, TREAT YOURSELF DON'T CHEAT YOURSELF.

I know bro. I'm just saying. Nothing is better then OEM on these cars. IMO. I hope the problem is resolved tho asap. They come HID compatible and non HID compatible. 300/430.. I think adjustments have to be made to put the HID ones on a 300.

No... what he's saying is that the prices on Sewell's headlights have risen. Not to mention you can buy OEM parts from other places than Sewell. You can buy OEM from ebay, like I suggested, for less than what Sewell is asking for. Also, for those not comfortable buying from ebay, there are other sources available as well.

...and there's a whole load of stuff better than OEM... just depends on what it is (ball joints, for example)

I bought the oem Green tint from sewell 2 years ago @$580 among other parts.Quality is still great, but the price is nearly $700 now with discount, Quality should be the same or did something change in the past 2 years.
There is a Vendor on EBay that sells OEM toyota/lexus parts. They can get you the same Brand new OEM green tint headlights for $100-$150 less than Sewell.
Even when i Buy OEM i shop around.

Also, if your pockets are fat enough to drop that kind of cash i would recommend a retrofit. Doing a number of retros on GS4s, i can tell you that beside the Bowl, the Auto leveling systems can be overrated, thus why Ive recommended them to my customers.

I mean OEM parts can be bought on eBay but it's not a guarantee you'll always find what your looking for exactly for your year/make/model. Sometimes the listings end. But yeah eBay is GREAT. If you can buy something OEM for a low price, it's best to hop on that ASAP. Cuz once the listing ends or someone buys it, there's a good chance you might not see it again. Ebay bucks are always good to rack up. Big money purchases = big money points that's ALWAYS good =-)
