[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Sup guys, I just got a 97 Black Lexus SC400, I was going to keep it clean and stock, but I can't resist other SC400's being all nice and stuff, so I decided to make it a project car. I've been reading around the threads, and I have to say that they are very impressive and informative. I haven't used the search yet, but I plan to, once I encounter any problems, and if I can't find any, I hope you guys can answer my question! . This weekend, I'm going to order my HIDs and clean the headlight-housing.
Thanks for the thread about the DYI for popping out the headlight housing OLT. Appreciate it. I'm getting a deal for $250 for a HID kit. Does anyone know where I can get it for cheaper? I'll probably use the search button in a bit to recheck if anyone already posted it, but if anyone can reply to this thread, that would be cool. Thanks! That's all for now.

Welcome to the Club
Yes, you can usually find answer to just about every question here......
I have only read a little bit about the HID conversion, but I think 250 is like dirt cheap if I'm not mistaken

$250 is cheap, it seems SC guys can never get a "good deal."

Welcome to the board and THANK YOU for using the search button. Let's see the HID conversion once you get it done.

Hey David. Welcome to the club. What part of California are you from? I have a friend who is also a member here who knows of a guy that sells them for around $200. Ive seen them on my friends SC400 and they look great. Im planning on getting some soon when I get my tax returns. If you are interested maybe we can meet up and we'll take you to his shop where he sells them so you can take a look.

Haha Sure thing! Maybe we can all keep in touch and setup a meet date so we can go pick them up or have them installed over there. The place is located in San Jose. Where are you located?

A little about me, I'm from Northern California, San Jose =P, I traded in my ES300 to get my SC 400 with my parents. They own a wrecking yard and if any of you need any parts, send me a message and i'll see if I can get you for a little cheaper than any other place (if you're from the bay area). If you live in the bay area, post in this thread so we can help each other out ! =P thanks!

P.S. I'm still a newbie and I just started getting into modding cars, so I have no knowledge whatsoever and will be reading a lot of the threads on the forums. =P

Hahah. I go to San Jose almost every weekend when I have the time. I used to live there my whole life. I just recently moved to the Sacramento area which is not too far from Davis right? I'll PM you my number so maybe we can meet up and go down there to pick them up. I just got off the phone with my friend who knows the guy at the shop. He will get back to me with more info. I'll keep you posted. Always glad to help out a fellow Clublexus member.
