Out Of The Box
Its off topic but I was surprised when I heard that one of the main competitor of the GL450/550, Lexus 570 DOES NOT COME WITH HID (not even an option)!!! I tried to confirm this and yep its only 4 multi-reflector beam headlight. I was just surprised with the that amount of money and reputation, HID is not offered

Yeah that was a major let down about that vehicle. I really liked it when I test drove it. The electronics in that SUV is amazing and yet they will not put auto leveling, steerable HID lights in that vehicle. Its retarded. I loved all the cameras. Another issue that I didnt like was the disabled nav and phone menus when driving, that would drive me crazy over time.
I am so glad that the 2009 GL has updated electronics it has now got my full attention and I will most likely get the GL 320 blutec.

yea I dont understand that concept about lexus? only thing I can think of as logic to NOT equip it with HID is maybe the height of the truck? But then an autoleveling system pointed downward would compensate for this, the new GL, not to mention escalade, r.rover, and navigator all have Xenons
if I recall correctly this has never been an option for the LX
I do agree tho it is still a very nice SUV, I think they should have equipped it with the LS projector tho...that would complete it I think, at least it would have cutting edge headlights as well

When I had my 04 Lexus GX 470 I was the first person to retro fit an after market HID kit with DYI pics and instructions for that vehicle on the clublexus forums. I really dont understand why they dont put HIDs on their higher priced SUVs. Mercedes, BMW, Acura, Porsche, Infiniti, Mercury all have SUVs that are bigger with HID standard.
