Mine, and a whole helluva lot of others, came with Factory HIDs - whomever told you the GS can't come with such an option, is talkin out their @ss

Try using the search function too for "factory options" I think its been spelled out there too more than once.

unfortunately .. i don't have HID's but I do have the spoiler. I was under the impression that the spoiler only came with "special packages". Either the Nav or Nakamichi, which I have neither of.

I guess I have the "stripped down" version =P

Looks like I didn't do my total research before getting my car.

But the other Lex's i saw had old looking nav screens. Heated seats would have been nice for California (at least 3 days of the year)

I'm satisfied everytime I smoke the tires.

Go over to Edmunds, select "used", select "Lexus", select "1998", select "GS400", go to "options" and read to your heart's content. Or go to Lexus' web site (that would be www.lexus.com; not too difficult to guess, since long ago I found it without even a search! Amazing!) and you ought to be able to do similar stuff.

Imagine what you could find out about your Lexus that way.........much better source than "this dude" or in the case of the first post "someone"..... :eek:

alex, my apologies. As of a few months ago, Edmunds provided the various options as well as option packages. Try this from Lexus' web site. HIDs were optional.

The information for my 1998 GS400 under the "my vehicle" section of the owner's section of the Lexus.com web site reads:

GS 400 Information
1998 - DIAMOND WHITE PEARL
VIN: JT8BH68X1W0010341
Date Of First Use: 06/15/98

Option Packages:
High Intensity Discharge Headlamps
In-Dash 6-CD Auto Changer
Power Tilt and One-Touch Open/Close Slide Moonroof with Sunshade

Option Accessories:
Carpeted Floor Mats
Carpeted Trunk Mat
Wheel Locks

I dont' know what the option package was called, but as you can see, I have the HID headlights, and I don't have the navigation system or the factory spoiler.

More than welcome. Edmunds used to actually show all the options packages with their codes.

BTW, I drink Bud and I keep Anheuser-Busch working 3 shifts..........
