Hid question
Has anybody installed hid's in non hid rx ? What did it take and what you paid for it ? Looking at used rx 330 for my wife , silver with grey (first color choice ) for a reasonable price and we are hesitating about it. Please help.

Why bother? Now you do not have to be concerned about your HID's being stolen. I would have preferred to buy a RX330 without HID's, but in Pennsylvania, they all come equipped with HID's.

I am not very sure about rx but i just installed HID for my acura. you need to take the head lamp down to do the wiring and place the ballast. The ballast need to be placed where no water can get to them. i used McCulloch kit which i bought off ebay. Great quality and no problem so far.

I don't agree. I find too often that because of the sharp cutoff of the HID's, it is easy to overdrive them. I'm not talking about excessive speeds but rather 50-55 on two lane roads. I understand why the cutoff exists and the importance of not blinding oncoming drivers. But this prevents even small amounts of light from shining down the road in front.
If I had to do it all over again I would have gone with the standard halogens.
