Isn't your car already factory HID? Maybe get new bulbs? I find the LS factory HIDs pretty bright already. But I've had other 2000s cars with factory HID and I do notice that they are not as bright as modern HIDs but then its also working with older lens technology, old Oem ballasts and old bulbs.
The capsules (bulbs) are 15+ years old and they do dim over time. Just replacing those with new ones will increase your light output significantly!
I just read another post under RX and someone mentioned the same thing.
My 03 LS probably has the original bulbs, maybe I should give it a try. Should I get it from Lexus dealer? wonder how much it will be
Depending on brand they can go for under $50 a pair for generic ones up to like $400 a pair. From Lexus/Toyota direct you would probably pay about $350 for a pair.
'The retrofit source' or other legit sites are usually a better deal, but personally this is one of the products I would not buy from Amazon (like spark plugs, lots of fake ones out there)

I won't get part from Amazon due to fake. I got parts from local Lexus even though they a bit more expensive. I also used lexuspartsnow.com
Is Philips HID bulbs the original for LS? If not, what does Lexus sell for replacement?
I have read numerous sources that say yes, but as with anything on the internet, take it with a grain of salt. They DO make good bulbs though, so I don't think you could go wrong.
