CL should have a policy of banning anyone that buys HID conversion kits while using stock housing
lol jk

but yeah anyone that does that is actually endangering everyone else on the road

 

I bought GS300, fully opted and included the OEM HID and yellow fogs.

 

Incorrect You could have the premium package (sunroof/cd)with the 1998 GS and NOT have HIDs and the heated seats. My 98 was like that and the brochure states it.

Henry corrected me right, fyi, 99-00 GS 400s did not have HIDs standard but ANY package included them. I would say 99% of GS 400s 99-00 had a package.

 

I have them on my 99 GS4

 

yeah, 98 i saw couple (including mine) without hid, but 99 and up, they were almost always there. you can think of it as the 06 is250 and 07 is250. you pretty much can't find a is250 now without hid anymore

and yes, i believe the hid was a complete separate options and wasn't linked to the premium package

 

The issue is yellow fogs with premium package and not HID with premium package.

Back then at the time of purchase '98 GS4, other than leather, Nak, moon roof, (no-heated seats), I wanted 17" wheels. For some odd reason I did not want HIDs Based on maximizing profit, the allocation dealer got had HID. [This option I quickly appreciated on my first night time drive]. When I noticed the yellow fog lamps, I asked the sales person who lead me to beleive that the yellow fogs come with a premium package.

If my understanding is correct then, yellow fog lights would be available with halogen lamps, as long as a premium package was purchased.

that would be a first. of all i have seen, yellow fogs are directly related to hid. all hid equipped 2gs have yellow fogs, and all 2gs with no hid has clear fogs

 

don't think all hid gs has yellow fogs, mabe the other way around.. all yellow fogs have hid. I have seen many gs with hid with no yellow fogs. question for u guys when I bought my gs there were ones with hid sitting next to one without hid.. what is the big difference in headlamps between he two. they looked the same to me..both had that little metal piece n front of the bulb. Also the auto level feature I'm assuming its not on the non hid correct?

 

the back of the housing design is a bit different

 

Salim, yellow fogs are only available with HIDs on the IS and GS. This is an OEM feature. The only way a GS would have halogens and yellows is someone swapped them out.

I have the 98 and 99 brochures. 98 Premium pack was leather/cd no HIDs. This was the entry level package in the 98 GS 400.

 

damn mike i hate you, i wish i had the brochure from back then

 

On the 98 GS3 with the premium pkg did it come with HID yellow fogs and the Nakamichi system?

 

I'm gonna e-bay them bishes in about 20 years

 

ebay is such a great place sounds like in 98 u had to opt specifically for the hid package and not part of a premium package.

 

I guess i got really lucky. I got a 98 GS400 with HID, Navigation, and spoilerless.
