but on the road the light is at minimal

to the GS family you'll love it here.... The lighting for the meters is not as bright as I thought it would be.
I had already turned the **** to full bright. You think I blew a bulb inside or is it like that ?
Again, it's a 2001 model.

Woohoo. I got the 8000 HID and it looks AWESOME. I'll take pics and show you guys.
And the best thing, some guy came in with a GS400 and DOES NOT want his Yellow Fogs. So he is OK with an even exchange. So hopefully I get that from them.

Hey guys im new to this forum but im a pretty old member ofr Hidplanet.com, well my thoughts are these. First of dont even think about puttin a "HID kit" in your stock halogen headlights, first of they will scatter the light in an uneven pattern resulting in very little light actually hitting the ground. Now I changed my headlights to HID and I got oem lights from ebay. You can buy them fully complete for abour 250-800 dollers depands on who you pick to buy from. For me it only cost me 120 dollers since I got the oem hid lights with out the ballast and light bulbs, well actually one headlight had the ballast. With oem headlights you dont need the leveling motors at all, ive done alot of testing and my lights are aimed just a notch below my high beams and they produce no glare at all. Oh and for the Hid components I had parts already for a retrofit I was planing on doing but after taking apart a haologen gs headlight to replace the halogen reflector with a HID reflector I lost all desire to mindle with a retrofit which actually leaves me with HId projectors layin around incase any one wants em give me a massage but yah the best choice and is to get oem hid headlights and stock 4100k bulbs well 4300k if your gettin philips but I recommend you get osram because there more pinkish and will be much easyer on your eyes at night. And I also installed hid in my foglights so I every time I go out at night I check them out . Any questions feel free to pm me or emaile me at Vicestan@aol.com.

Was wondering what you guys think of it.
Please don't laugh at my rims. I love 'em big and comfy, sort of like..nevamind.
My 02 IS300 was so bumpy I hated it.
