How do I go about telling this to the dealership so they won't charge me up the *** for the rewiring job. I don't want to be charge for what could be a 30 min job then they do like 2 hour job and charge me

Go down to the dealership and find out exactly what they plan on doing and how much it'll cost. Then come back on here and post it so people can help you out.

well I took my car to a lexus specialist and he said that the harness and everything is still stock because it looks untouched, and if someone was to mess with it, that is one fine job ..... lol jokingly said by him
he said that I needed a H7 adapter, so I guess he ordered it for me and it runs $8.50 for one. Heck, that is a lot better than what lexus dealership told me that it's about $100-$150. It should come tomorrow to him, will keep you guys updated!

Wow that's crazy. Have no clue why someone will do that. I sent a little message to KiPod so hopefully he'll chime in. Seems to know a pretty good bit about lighting so hopefully he can provide some additional help if you need it.

I cant view pictures from work so Im just giving info. The H7 bulb itself has the two prongs that slide into the rubber adaptor. The rubber adaptors two prongs that connect to the harness are wider than the H7 bulbs two prongs. If you need a new rubber adaptor that connects bulb to harness the part # is 90075-99117. I think that should be what the tech ordered. The harness will not fit directly on to the H7 bulb. You need the rubber adaptor.

kipod.... ok I just got the part from the lexus specialist. He gave me a pair of adapter that goes onto the harness plug. This is how it goes in, the two prong of the H7 bulb goes into the adapter female end, then the adapter's male prong goes into the harness's female end.
The fit is perfect so now I just have to wait till it gets dark, then drive around to see how bright it really is on the road. Hopefully silverstar H7 don't disappoint me.
Anyway onto another topic, how do I remove my fog light and change that bulb to make it even brighter?
thanks for the comment kipod

well it fit perfectly now.... however my next question is how do I clean INSIDE the headlight assembly? I think there are chalk like powder substance around the hole where the bulb goes through, and whoever had the car before me keep rubbing on that part and now the powder fell inside the bulb. It looks like someone tried to hide coke in my headlight.......LOL

update... well its night time, just finished taking her for a spin and let me tell you the difference this makes in the lighting! I can literally see 25-30 ft in front of me in pitch black areas!!! I was impressed with silverstar's performance after all!!
Anyone know how well the PIAA's compares to the silverstar? I was thinking maybe get the PIAA for my fog lights, or just stick with silverstar?
