Looks like the one that was for sale at Naperville Lexus...I think they wanted $11k for it.

There was another red one at Brookfield Lexus for about the same money.

I think I saw you driving it...are you in Niles?

hid kits are such garbage. i'm not dissing anyone, i'm actually sporting a hid kit right now myself, but i've had retrofits in previous cars though and having a hid kit now just sucks.. your fine now, just don't ever do a retro unless you plan on doing it on all your next cars or having them stock, once you have real hids it's way to hard to have anything else...

hid kits to real hids are like comparing cut springs to a real suspension, you just can't get any kind of descent cutoff with halogens, even projectors, and even if you do have some kind of cutoff a few feet in front of you, you'll always have crazy hotspots and no equal light distribution in your beam pattern.



another cost effective way to match your parking lights is getting the single 194/168 wedge size led from superbrightleds.com i've got the superwhite in mine and it looks pretty good, think i paid like 1 or 2 bucks for them..

I went to pepboys yesterday and picked up some 194 "super blue ricer" bulbs. It's pretty blue w/ just the city lights on but gives a nice accent to the HID's. I may change them to bright white.

My friend got a bunch of those not too long ago and they started to fade pretty fast.
