My '98 was not advertised as having the HID lights, even on the Lexus CPO window sticker included from when the prior owner bought the car a couple of years ago. But the headlights are wonderfully bright, and look like projector units I've seen on some newer cars. And there's a little sticker about "warning- high voltage" on one of the units. Am I correct in assuming they are HIDs?
Photos are off my '98; If the warning label looks like this, you have HID's:
Look in this corner for the "D2R" designation (driver's side shown):
Thanks. I do have the HIDs. I guess the other thing I'm surprised that these cars don't have is headlight washers. Personally I don't care because I wash my car frequently and don't have to deal with snow/slush, but it seems like most of the competition had the washers.

If you do have HID bulbs as they get older the bulb has a 12,000 volt arc to keep it lit. It will loose some of it brillance and good hid bulbs can cost up to 350.00 each. Check ebay for good deals

350? the hell, u can get OEM D2R bulbs for <$100 a pair brand new
quick question. On my 1998 LS400 the passenger side headlight says HB3 and the driver's side says D2r. Does that mean that I have a non HID passenger side headlight?
