Factory HIDs
Does anybody know if any of the newer SC300/400 came with HIDs from the factory? It would be nice to have some factory HID projectors instead of doing a retrofit.

Lexus was the first company to offer standard-equipped HIDs back in 1998 (GS400) when Merc and BMW was charging them as options on cars that cost double as late as 2002. Bravo Lexus...too bad they forgot about us......

Lukily the SC has projectors so retrofitting HID projectors is a lot easier than your standard HID-into-reflector retro. Those are a real ******. I've done both and the SC was by far the easiest.
The hardest one was my Celica with pop-up lights. It was also the most rewarding:

Good luck!
