Cleaned Headlights + Silverstars
I also removed the light restrictions from the fog lights, saved myself $700 over the cost of new lights:

silverstars are great 
glad you didn't go the "super white/ultra white/mega white" bulb route...those will only burn out on you sooner and not be as bright as the sylvanias...
from my personal opinion that is, before i went with true HIDs...i'll never go back...

? There are metal cages of some sort that encompass the H3 bulb. By removing the impediment this in turn allows more light to emit from the housing. I can only assume that Lexus installed these to reduce glare under fog conditions but since mine are rarely used for that purpose I'm quite satisfied with the resulting increase in light. Again this was on my 95, other years may not have said restriction **EDIT** maybe "obstruction is a better word - sorry **EDIT**.
