Default HIDs on my SC300

Without rims on the car or body kit the car was looking old so to bring it into 08 I got some 8000K Hids. Ne one else had the problem with simple plug and play HID kits not working cause the pins are backwards on sc? Cause they worked fine in a BMW but not in mine.... o well it took 30 mins longer but i wired up a relay with a 12v constant. BTW they look sooo freaking awesome ENjoY! (When i get a chance ill post the ones with my digital camera cellphone isnt that great)






plan on doing the the turn signal indicators with HIDs too just not sure of what color yellow or blue

You wouldn't want HID turn signals because constantly switching on and off the HID bulb would cause it to burn out a great deal faster. You'll probably also blind the pedestrians trying to cross the street

I would have the turn signal indicators wired up with the headlights so they turn on with the headlights with a relay, maybe even a secret switch with them like real fogs.... ne way blind pedestrians is even more reason to have them

Yes, there's a thread somewhere. Search "delining" or "delined"

You need sandpaper, wax and elbow grease. I did the TSX retro but too lazy to deline.
