Default Just got my RX :)

02 White Gold Crystal, AWD, Premium Plus Value Package.

Thanks to Dennis Zhang over at Longo Lexus(I recommend him to anyone, very friendly guy) and I would like to also thank Marc Evans at Longo Lexus.

I only have one real complaint with the RX300....HID isn't an option. It only comes in with the Navi package. Pisses me off. At my house we have an MB S500 with Xenon headlamps and my IS300 with HID. I hate the yellow headlights on the RX.

Otherwise, beautiful car

Congrats!! My uncle got his LS&LX at Longo too, maybe from the same guy. Seems their reputation is really good, especially service. U can always retrofit ur RX with HIDs with after market ones, if u wish.

Chan,

Congrats on your new RX! Have fun with it, and yes, you can always buy a set of the aftermarket HID's, there are several selections on the market right now...

enjoy,
Hendry

Thanks guys!

Longo is known to give the best deals. We got ours for $500 over invoice.

Which aftermarket HID do you guys recommend?

Congrat on the new ride Chan. Try Phillips for HID's, they are a reputable brand.

Got a site for me to buy the HIDs from?

One more question, how hard would it be to swap the bulbs out? Anyone got instructions?

Chan, you can try looking on ebay, they usually have an array of HID's including the Phillips brand. I am, by far, not the expert on what/where to go for HID's. Hopefully someone with more knowledge and expereince will step up to help you.

I just know by the discussions I've read here that Phillips is a good brand, and the one I would use.

Cool

Chan, we got our 2002 with HIDs without the NAV...HIDs were 'packaged' with heated seats. So we got about all options except NAV.

Are packages different from region to region???

Taking our first trip this weekend...Going to the BIG EASY!
