Default Replacing Headlights on Lx 470?

I have a 06 lx 470 and I wanted to know if anyone has replaced their lights with HID lights?? Or if it was possible to get "angel eyes" or halo lights similar to BMW's cars

It will still use the halogen bulb, but you can install HIDs in you current ones or the new ones. I did a writeup on putting HIDs in the LX470 some several years ago. Search the forum

I'm running HIDs, too...IIRC, I measured the light output to be 4x that of the halogens. Still, the HIDs on the LX aren't as good as the AFS HIDs on the LS...now those are superb lights!
