Thanks for all the great comments guys

The car has 95,500 miles on it and the original owner just did the 90k service which he spent $1421.00 to have done He kept all the service records

The HID's believe it or not are actually 10000K. When looking directly into the headlight assembly you see a blueish white color with a hint of purple. But the light emitted onto the ground is more of a bright white, almost florescent type white.

Night time driving is great, I pulled up to 4-5 other cars with factory HID's and my light output on the ground blew there's away. LOL, the driver of this Range Rover actually rolled his window down at the stop light and asked me what I did to get my headlights soo bright...




Here's a couple pics I just took of the original window sticker, the stain free carpet and clean leather interior...

Your lights aren't brighter, you're blinding everyone with the glare of your HID kit so it appears brighter. Range Rover HID projectors > your HID kit. But if you like it then more power to you.

The sodium and scandium halides in these particular HID's in my low beams and fog lights must be slightly different then the usual 10000K cheap ebay kits out there. I've used over 4-5 different HID kits ranging from 4300K-10000k and have done a couple of HID retrofits with BMW E39 X5 D2S projectors in my time and I can tell you 100% that the light output on the ground from the low beams and foglights is very impressive and much whiter and more usable IMO then a factory stock HID kit. I've got over 250 posts on HID forums, I know what I'm talking aboutm but wouldn't call myself an HID guru and I do agree with you in that most HID kits have way too much color and suck for usable light output

When I pulled up to the Range Rover the white light output on the ground from both of my HID kits covered his light output on the ground, I wasn't doing a comparison from outside of the vehicle looking directly into the headlights, only comparing light output on the ground

I'm not sure which HID forums you are apart of, but members on HID planet would definitely disagree with you. You may be producing more light on the road, but you are also blinding the $*** out of everyone else on the road.

Thank you for agreeing with me in that "I may be producing more light on the road".

But your jumping the gun and putting words in my mouth too... Being that your part of HIDplanet.com I know it's the proper to spam negativeness to people that run anything higher then 6000k, But NO WHERE in the above posts did I say that I wasn't blinding the hell out of people with glare. You made that assumption that I was denying it on your own by not thoroughly reading all of the posts in this thread. The glare is slightly worse then factory lights, but really isn't that bad either because or the the reflective caps which are made to reduce glare which are inside the factory Lexus headlight assembly and fog light assembly. If your standing at 10:00 and 2:00 in front of the GS the fog lights do produce massive glare. When I 1st installed the HID's into the low beams I noticed the cut off line wasn't as sharp so I added a couple rubber washers as spacers on the low beams to make sure the beam pattern wasn't distorted. By doing this the patter is more level and doesn't produce as much glare. *Sorry if I sound ignorant. I'm not trying to be a a$$, I'm just setting the facts straight*

HAHA, we killed the rest of it off this weekend

For shots the Grey Goose tastes awesome. My dumb lady friends wanted to mix it with everything, but I didn't want to use it for mixing, only shots I said.

I usually mix cheap vodka with energy drinks, here's a pic of some products I bought before a fun night of drunkness...

This is a pretty cool glowing drink we make almost every weekend...

(2) parts Vodka
(2) parts Redbull
(1) parts Blue Rockstar



LOL, We took the whole Redbull/Vodka mixed drink to a whole new level ...

wow, funny you mention that because I was just looking at your thread...
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho....php?p=3483059

I'm still not sure if these kit's are gonna stay in forever, I may sell them and do a retro fit...
I like the quad projector setup some guys have here on CL.
I will stay in touch.
