With the following options:
Wattage: 35w
Bulb Type: 9006 / 9012
Bulb Color: Ultra 4500k

I chose 35w because I don't want to harm the projector housing.
I chose 4500k because I want white light, not blue or purple. Contrary to popular belief, the higher in the spectrum you go, the less bright the light becomes.

One note, I had to reverse the polarity coming into the ballast using the adapter cable that came bundled with the actual bulb. Very easy task, no cutting or splicing.

All I have is the attached short video. The headlights have warmed up completely and are MUCH brighter than the halogens.

I installed some brighter LED headlight bulbs and moved my current ones over to my LS430 to use as foglights.

Default Today I Decided I'm going to sell my 1992 SC300 MT

This is a great club - Club Lexus has helped me truly enjoy two SC's to the fullest. Today had a bite to it...I decided that I am going to sell my black 1992 SC300. I'm moving and the car can't come with. I want to thank everyone who's posted the great articles and reviews I've taken in over the years. This community of SC enthusiasts is one of the best! I know I will be crawling back to buy another one in a few years - I love the car.

The car is in Connecticut. It runs beautifully, has two sets of wheels (Blizzak - Supra wheels) and a bunch of other nice equipment including the 5 speed manual transmission matched to a short throw shifter

If anyone is interested please feel free to reach out to me.

That SC looks very clean. It's always sad to see an SC go.

You should post it in the Vehcle Classifieds section. I bet it will sell fast.

Installed a new intake boot (intake tubing to manifold coupler). The old one was dry rot and was allowing air to move past it.

Replaced the shift boot boot with a new black suede with red stitching.
New e-brake boot on the way.

Cleaned the interior out.

I installed some new LED dome lights today. I had a blue LED from Pep Boys for the past seven years and realized I can't see anything at night. I went with a nice bright white and also did the map lights. They were colored non-LED bulbs from Pep Boys that burnt out.

Your SC looks so good. I thought you had Supra wheels?

Did you park it inside the dealership? My SC is sitting out behind our dealership burning up.
