its a 98- I got it certified preowned
I guess I am sol.
I really don't drive a lot at night. But, it is kind of a letdown. I mean you think you have all of the killer features and then all of the sudden (for no real reason that I know of, like it was not an option on any list i am aware of) you don't. What is irritating is the fact that its a 50K car and it has the same basic lighting as a honda.
But, some hondas come with HIDs now right. So,.. there you go...not even as good as a honda.

heres and idea to make you smile.
get in your car, find a red light, when it turn green floor it, don't slow down until you have to. now go get an automatic civic dx, find a red light, when it turns green floor it, don't worry about slowing down, you'll never get going fast enough to need to

or bought off the lot as is.......w/o HID
quite a few in this neck of the woods w/o them..........let me rephrase......most of the GS4s that I see here are w/o........much as I like mine, they don't make any real difference to my nighttime speed......remember, all our high beams are conventional quartz-halogen

i always heard the only options were 17s,spolier, nav and 6 cdchanger
That's sort of what KBB says. http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/kw.kc.u...;t&37&4;LE;G1&
It has 17s, the spoiler (no inside third brake light) and changer. I thought it had everything else.
Maybe it was a monday car.

You can get them from a few vendors and retrofit them...
Not too hard. 9006 is probably the most common HID retro-fit kit...Sure you won't get auto-balance but it is a lot better than the 9006 bulbs.

Seemed like a good idea at the time
In 98 Lexus wanted $500 for the Xenon option.
Seemed like a hell of a lot of $ for headlights.
However I'm looking forward to them on my '01 since they're now standard.
