This site is awesome!
Thanks for the prop. Yes the HID changes the look of the truck big time.

LOWS: H1 4300k HID kit from XenonDepot = $405 OTD (cost + shipping) http://www.xenondepot.com/category.php?category_id=2
FOGS: H3 Hoen 55W xenonmatch = $40 (OTD) cost + shipping) http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm
HIGHS: 9005 ST/2 Sylvania Superstar = $34 OTD (cost + tax from Autozone)

Installation = $100 from a Toyota Service Center. The HIGH and FOGS are as simple as replacing the bulbs, the HID kit iinvolves a tad more... I'll send in some pics of the HID install later.

Bluestar, love what you've done to your 2003. I have a 2004 and I want to do exactly what you did, HID's, rear spoiler and tail pipe. I've seen how the HID's have turned out and the pipe and can't wait to see the spoiler.

I also live in So Cal and I may be interested using the same people to install the HID's. Additionally, where did you get the pipe and who installed it? Your LX is looking sweet.

Great... Thanks for the nice words... The last piece is the spoiler. Also I am trying to install mud flaps for the front wheels, so that'll come soon as well... Never ends, eh ?

PM me for the shop I did my exhaust tip and HID install. I'll also send you some install pics to help you out.

Looks great. I think I'm going to do the spoiler on our 2006 LX as well. The dealer is asking an arm and a leg for the install. Are you using your same hook up that helped with the HID install?
