The stock 2LS headlights are indeed quite awesome. Pure, please don't make me feel bad by telling us that your '95 headlights pale in comparison to your '99 or 2000 headlights!

Something I really like about our lights is that they don't have that yellowing problem that most other cars have.

...but...they did....

and the only reason '95-97 headlights dont yellow is because they were made of glass....(lenses)

Yeah, that is fairly obvious to most
Most manufacturers have gone to plastic after all.

I've got strongarms on all 3 of my Lexuses. Supposedly they also come with a lifetime warranty.

+1 for strongarm

Part Source and Auto Value in Canada carry them, not sure who would carry them in the US.

Got me a set of rims, yes they are the LS430 18's in silver.
I will wait till spring to put them on as the car will sit most of the winter.

Nice man,

they look sweet. I was thinking the same for mine. I have a pair of GS4 from my other ride i was going to put on. Need tires though. I might go for the same as last time and roll with a set of Kumhos.

Any thoughts on rubber?

Strong arm hood struts worked great, maybe 10 mins to put them on.

New tires and rims go on Saturday. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-2. I will get pics up asap.

This spring I plan on 30% tint and maybe a muffler delete. I'll at least try to unhook the last muffler on each side and give her a try that way. Otherwise she's perfect. Don't even ask me to lower it or any other mods.
