Default Confused about options availability in Texas...

Just wanted to say what's up to everybody. Anyway, I have a question...I was in the market for an IS350 a month or so ago. At the time the salesman told me Xenon's won't be availabe until April 06' production vehicles.

Is that still true or did he want me to buy whatever's on the lot? I went on the official Lexus website to build it yet I didn't see any options for the Luxury & Sport packages (As well as individual options like Xenon/AFS). Thx!

quite a few members here got the is350 with hid headlights. you just need to have it with some special package, i think it's the luxury? could be wrong but i am sure someone wil chime in

Right now Lexus is not shipping any cars to texas with lux or sport packages. Just premium and nav.
I was told by my dealer after the first of the year they should start getting some better allocations.

Thx for the info guys. Does anybody know why they're not shipping is350's w/those options to Texas yet? You guys on the west coast are lucky!

someone had to get shafted, just happened to be tx. i settled for a base is350 myself. the halogens were bright enough for me and it matches my glacier frost better. also, you can always go aftermarket.

I couldn't get HIDs either but I have a Philips 6k HID kit on order. Once installed, I'll post some pictures but it should look very similar to Tim817's setup.

Nope, HIDs only available as part of either the Sport or Luxury package. Standard lights are projector lows and reflector highs.
