Nice car!! I would love to put on the Wald kit on my 08 GS350, but it wont fit

Also in my opinion too many TV screens. Overkill

^^ I will never open and paint headlights ever again. It loses 50% of its reflective properties and your range of light shrinks. Been there done that, I'll keep it stock and enjoy useful lights

it's true if you have reflective lighting, like the 2gs or is300 like what you had. but i am not sure if painting the housing would affect that much at all?

I agree with Henry. Black housing should not affect the lighting in any way since 3GS have projectors. However, on the older cars, it might have some affect.

I am planning to buy some used ones and do it. Pretty simple to do. I'll be the 1st, but they are not going to be the ones on my car.

front bumper changes on the facelift

i don't think any of the 06-07 front lip will fit on 08. i already tested maybe 3-4 kits.
