Default Just picked up my new GS Tonight!

Hey Guys,

I just picked up my new GS 350 Black on Black tonight. Its not F-Sport, premium packages with Navi, 18s, ect.. I think i got a pretty good deal, i actually told lexus i was buying out my 2008 GS350 awd off lease, buyout was $21, 700, then traded it in for $24,500, plus $1500 credit for leasing a Bimmer (wife's car). I ended up putting no money out of pocket for $618/m for 36 months, I'm happy considering i was going to keep my 08 for another 3-4 years. I'll take some pics tomorrow when its light out.

Couple of questions and i know its early.

1. I kept my HID fogs from my 08, do you think they will fit?
2. I kept my 6000K Hids, will they fit?
3. Also, i plugged in my 60gb iPod, it will not read, its from 2005, is it because its old?

As always, thanks for the help, i can't wait to tint her this weekend, 5% and throw my 20s on that were on my 08 for now.

Answer to #2....yes. 4GS uses D4S bulbs as well. The driver side light was very difficult to change.

Congrats on the car....you will love it!

Thanks for all the nice comments. Its pretty gloomy today in NJ, but i'll snap some pics on lunch and post them. Also, thanks for answering the question about the bulbs, i remember having issue on my 3G because of the wiper fluid container being in the way. I hope the HID fog lights are the same as well.

Oh, and thanks about the trade in comment, I got pretty luck i think with my buyout being so low when i leased my 08 4 years ago. The buyout on this car is $36K, so i doubt I will have the same luck again in 36 months.
