i got a confession, i was debating between buying a gs300/400 or a q45 and i was already leaning towards the lex but just the capability of doing this just basically seals the deal for me.

are you gonna do a write up?

and if i plan on doing this, do i have to get a gs with hid's already?
No you don't have to get a gs with factory hid...any 98+ gs headlight will work with the q45 headlight mod...sorry been busy with my newborn son so i didn't have time to do a write-up..but if you have any question about doin this mod you can pm me and i can give u step by step how to do it..

when the Q45 came out with those headlights and all that horsepower i have to admit it was tempting. my wife and i both fell instantly in live with that gattling gun look of the headlights.
then i found out the car wasn't as fast as ours.


but those headlights, i still wanted them. Infinity really did come up with some great looking lights.

great job getting those into your car. i am jealous of the looks of your new headlights.

my only reservation now, and it's a very important one. do they throw out as good of a light field as our HID's?



and now you are adding a turbo.
maybe you should take your car to the lexus designers and tell them if they could start out with a car like yours for the next model that sales would go thru the roof.



congrats on a fine car and a great mod.

In the Q45, the lights are the brightest and highest intensity stock of any car. SInce it's the same light in the GS, expect more of the same. I am not sure if the GS headlight is the same height as the Q45, which will affect the beam. But it's bright.

Incredible work.

Guys. I have seen these lights personally. This mod is totally PIMP!!! Remeber when Soaristo did this mod. The lights are extremely bright & clear. 2001Hitechgs is He did this 6 hr. mod in about 1 hr. No joking they are perfect. Have you guys checked the pics. carefully he has Q45 HID's 6000k gattling & anyone notice the small led shaped like gattling too. lol . He should definately be put in the Best GS of month thing. His ride is HOT!!! eEvery mod that I have put on the drawing board. He always beats me to it. I say " hey Jimmy check this out... how about that..." by the time I talk to him again he's done it. He trully knows how to tune with SYTLE!!! mucho props to you buddy.

I agree, he definitely has the skills. The downside to hanging around CL is someone is always coming up with new ideas, which usually translates to $$$$. Don't stop though, I mean, it's only money, right?
