Lexus gx470 xenon install clublexus

Maybe what happened is typical when a vehicle with headlights as high as an Escalade "rides your bumper" or maybe they were just adjusted too high.

Are there glare issues for other drivers in your GX with aftermarket HID when your truck is heavily loaded or does your suspension self level to compensate? The Escalades HID headlights are not adjustable and do not self level when carrying a heavy load. But all of the latest generation Escalades are standard with rear leveling suspension. But the newest Escalades now have optional LED headlights available only with the "platinum" package.

When I first replaced my halogen bulbs with HID I readjusted the height because the bulbs were a little bit different in size so I made sure they were adjusted right for the projector beams. Then I drove around in my IS while my room mate followed me around to make sure they did not seem to bright to oncoming traffic or when following someone. They are brighter than the regular halogen bulbs But I wouldn't say they are blinding. And yes my LX automatically levels itself as will the GX I understand your grief especially with the new Escalade lightsthey are pretty horriffic!

NicLX, thanks for the insight. I have found several posts on clublexus of guys that have done the HID kit and even posted install pics on the whole thing step-by-step, so I think I'll try them out I thought I might try it on on my 4Runner first, then see how well she likes them and if she'll let me poke around on her GX to do the job :whistles:.

You can get one of the "conversion kits" but you will get a lot of glare above the cutoff blinding oncoming drivers and you'll get less light on the road where you need it. The problem is that the stock setup is designed for a halogen bulb. A halogen bulb and a xenon bulb have different focal points.

The projector bowls in your car are shaped for the focal point of the halogen bulb. If you threw in a xenon bulb, the intense spot would be misplaced and the results will be poor. A HID kit from xenondepot. Tons of GX owners have done it and with our Projecters and self leveling rear suspension it makes for a wonderfull add on thats way worth it! The beam pattern has a very nice cutoff and DOES not blind Anyone, I have had mine for a year woth Zero problems and not a Single flasher from oncoming traffic and the light at night is wonderful!

HID Install. I installed a McCullen kit in my GX with philips bulb and the eban pattern is great. It's got a decent cut-off and beam pattern even though the stock bulbs are halogen. Give it a try! It's not hard to aim it slightly down if it's blinding on-coming traffic. Yeah I installed an aftermarket kit on my GX and it looks awesome. I used the CarHidKits guide and it was very easy to follow. I completely second this post.

The kit takes an hour or so to install. Lexus Body Kits. First looking at HIDs kit, I was quite confused to go for which order but finally I decided to go for ballast. Few days ago I received my order and I was amazed to see it. It fits perfectly to my car and I think HID kit is the only way to go.
