Default Blacked-out headlight housing

Hey what’s up guys,
I have an SC but I have noticed some new GS with black or gun metal looking head lights, it's just the part that the 9006 or HID bulb goes in, you know that outer headlights. I don't kno if you guys kno what I'm talking about, I have seen a couple of them around LA and I think they look tight, especially on white or lighter colored cars. Just wanted to give u guys the heads up on it incase you guys hadn’t seen it, but what am I talking about you guys probably knew about it a while ago.

you're right, they are nice, and you're also right about them not being a new secret. as far as i know, they're nothing actually special, just different housings depending on what year car you have or something. i mean, its not easy to call up a dealership or aftermarket shop and order the black housings to replace your chrome ones...which is definitely too bad

It all depends on the year of your car... I had my headlights retrofitted and during the process I had the housing painted black. I originally wanted chrome black but it's a difficult process...

Default Gun metal headlights

The housings for the headlights you've seen are for the GS Sportline edition. They are standard on the Sportline edition along with a chrome grille and black pearl rear emblems. There are other differences and a couple "Sportline" badges, but nothing else all that special cosmetically.

Are you talking about the titanium finished headlight housing from the 2003 GS300 SportDesign? Here's a pic from the Lexus web site.
