Talking Hids in fogs,Rotors replaced AWD, Headlights replaced.

Hello (BTW all pics below are from my iphone 4g no clue how they loaded so huge)
Got 4,300k hid installed on my fogs from xenondepot.com, Matches very great love the look of them





Finally found out a way to get drilled and slotted rotors for AWD GS350 at brakeworld.com special order disc italia for $450. Awesome rotors i don't have any brake fade would say stopping is the same as OEM rotors when its not under extreme conditions. Otherwise it runs much cooler to a point where i went into car was, when they were spraying soap/water on my front rims there was barely vapor vs back rotors were smoking (cold water on hot rotors).Got some pics for you guys to see





Now I also made an appointment with lexus bay ridge for couple problems, Driver headlight afs (projector) gets stuck on a left position when making a wide left turn. Not coming back to normal position hence making AFS light blink on the dash. Had to hit the headlight and restart the car for it to go back to normal position (Dealer replaced the whole headlight unit under warranty). Passenger side headlight projector it self was very loose hitting lightly on the headlight would make the projector wiggle around, when driving hitting bumps i seen my passenger side beam bouncing on the streets. Got very annoyed of it (Dealership replaced passenger side headlight units). As some of us had this problem before, Rear caliper getting seized (also known as frozen caliper) to a point where the brake pedal is hard and almost impossible to replace brake pad on the rear because you couldn't get the caliper loose (Dealership replaced it under warranty passenger rear brake caliper unit). I noticed that the caliper came all black, compared to a silver that I had vs all other gs's that i have seen. Must be a 2010 calipers.
Here is a picture of a driver side headlight getting stuck

.
Any questions please feel free to pm me.

Thanks for taking the time to post up some pictures of your HID kit installed! Enjoy ;-) The 4300k HID kits certainly do a nice job matching the factory OEM HID bulbs.

Hey, I see you've got an AWD version with drilled and slotted rotors. Do the rotors fit the fronts? Also can you share where you got this from??
Thanks

Yes the rotors fit up front, I have mentioned it above that it was special ordered from brakeworld.com name of the rotors disc italia. You need to call them in order to get them specialed ordered. They fit perfect and they work great.
