Anyone know how much these run for or where i can get them? I'm gonna put HID's in my 01 ES (Didn't come with em) and i want to get an idea how much the whole project is going to cost me

A piece, or a set?

HoeBag · 09-14-2004, 03:23 AM

a set in decent condition

What about the auto-leveling system? or the bulb/ballast assembly?

H.I.Ds go for around $600-$2,000.

I'd got for the Ichikohs.$1,200 Installing? Ask the Lexus dealership or the store you bought it from. It should cost you little under $2,000 for the whole set up.

I'm thinking about putting H.I.D.s for my 2005 Camry soon. After I'm done installing the SE headlights and spoiler.

wow anything over 500 is a rip off for plug and play hid's
get those with 00-01 clear lensed headlights and you are done.
Autolevel is a waist of time and energy to install.

I"m talking about the real H.I.Ds. Not crappy ones. Ones that manufacter's use.

skperformance considering a *single* complete duel projector halogen headlight assembly for a gen1 ES300 in great condition normally goes for $200+ on EBAY; saying that having to pay MORE than $500 for OEM ES HID's is just a blatantly retarded statement.

You should no much better than that.

Autolevel is also required by US DOT to be legal and for some unexplained reason some people prefer that...

Hmmm, maybe you're right. Time to change H.I.D. company to Philips. Yay, it's under my name too. "Philips" I like Philips, my DVD player and other electronic stuff are from Philips. That way I don't have to write my name on every single stuff.
